Safety Information

Stow Concrete/Asphalt Saw Model CD61H18

NEVER operate the saw without proper protective clothing, shatterproof glasses, steel-toed boots and other protective devices required by the job.
AVOID wearing jewelry or loose fitting clothing that may snag on controls or moving parts, this can cause a serious injury.
NEVER operate the saw in any enclosed or narrow area where free flow of the air is restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause serious damage to the saw’s engine and may cause injury to people. Remember the saw’s engine gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and open flames.
ALWAYS stop the engine before servicing, adding fuel and oil.
NEVER leave the machine unattended while running.
BLOCK the unit when leaving or when using on a slope.
ALWAYS check to make sure that the operating area is clear before starting the engine
ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while the saw is in operation.
ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children.
NEVER use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer for this equipment.

ALWAYS connect electric motor of the saw to a power source in compliance with all local and state electrical codes. This must be performed by a qualified electrician. After this connection is made, it will be necessary to check the rotation of the motor shaft. The shaft rotation should be counterclockwise when viewing the motor from the shaft extension end. If the rotation of the shaft is incorrect make necessary changes for the correct shaft rotation.
MAKE CERTAIN the power cord/extension cord is free from damage and that the grounding circuit is operational.
MAKE CERTAIN the extension cord that you are using is intended to be used in the environment you are using it in. If an extension is used, NEVER submerge the connection in water. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always make watertight connections.
MAKE CERTAIN the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the power cord/extension cord to avoid accidental starting.
USE only the gauge wire and length of cord recommended for the motor size.
ALWAYS be aware of the location of the cord when cutting.
NEVER use a worn, frayed or damaged extension cord.

USE appropriate steel centered diamond blades manufactured for use on concrete saws.
ALWAYS inspect diamond blades before each use. The blade should exhibit no cracks, dings, or flaws in the steel centered core and/or rim. Center (arbor) hole must be undamaged and true.
EXAMINE blade flanges for damage, excessive wear and cleanliness before mounting blade. Blade should fit snugly on the shaft and against the inside/outside blade flanges.
ENSURE the blade is marked with an operating speed greater than the blade shaft speed of the saw.
ONLY cut the material that is specified by the diamond blade. Read the specification of the diamond blade to ensue the proper tool has been matched to the material being cut.
ALWAYS keep blade guards in place. Exposure of the diamond blade must not exceed 180 degrees.
ENSURE that the diamond blade does not come into contact with the ground or surface during transportation. DO NOT drop the diamond blade on ground or surface.
THE ENGINE governor is designed to permit maximum engine speed in a no-load condition. Speeds that exceed this limit may cause the diamond blade to exceed the maximum safe allowable speed.
ENSURE that the blade is mounted for proper operating direction.

USE appropriate lifting equipment to ensure the safe movement of the saw.
DO NOT use the handle bars and/or front pointer as lifting points.
NEVER tow saw directly behind towing vehicle. Place saw directly inside towing vehicle truck-bed and tie-down securely.
DO NOT use the saw on slopes or on extremely un-level surfaces. An engine tipped to extreme angles may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head making the engine start difficult.
NEVER transport the saw with the blade mounted.
