TRACK RAIL SAW SAFETY

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con-

tain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead, from lead-based paints

•Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products

•Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber

For further information, consult the following sources:

http://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/consilic.html

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html

http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.html

Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition

may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz,

brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of

airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In ad-

dition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance

known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.

SILICA DUST WARNING

Potential hazards associated with the MK Diamond Track Rail Saw will be referenced with Hazard

Symbols which appear throughout this manual, and will be referenced in conjunction with Safety Mes-

sage Alert Symbols.

ALWAYS wear a hard hat.

ALWAYS wear approved eye protection.

HAZARD SYMBOLS

ALWAYS wear approved ear protection.

ALWAYS wear approved respiratory protection.

ALWAYS read this Owner’s Manual before operating the machine.

ALWAYS avoid inhalation of and skin contact with silica dust and/or mist.

TRACK RAIL SAW SAFETY

WARNING

DO NOT use woodcutting, or carbide blades on this machine! Use ONLY Diamond blades on ma-

chine. Use machine only to cut tile and masonry products. DO NOT use machine to cut wood or wood

products.

ELECTRIC MOTOR SAFETY

For maintenance care and operation of the electric motor, refer to your electric motor instruction booklet

furnished with the electric motor.

Protect the electric motor from dust as much as possible and keep ventilating openings clean.

Electric Motor Connection

The table below shows the matching NEMA approved connector for the required extension cord.

ALWAYS make certain that the power source required for the electric motor is correct and always use

the correct NEMA conguration plug. Failure to supply the correct voltage to the motor can severely

damage the motor. Make certain that the correct size grounded (3-wires) extension cord is used. See

the table below.

Motors can burn out when the line voltage falls 10% below the voltage rating of the motor. Failure to

use proper voltage will cause the motor to overheat.

•

DO NOT spray water at any time on the electric motor.

DO NOT operate electric motor in an explosive environment.

CAUTION

NOTICE

Most Motor Problems are caused by improper

voltage and extension cords. Cord should be

one-piece and short as possible. Cord

selection should match the following table.

be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord

will cause a drop in line voltage that will result in a loss of power and overheating. The Table shown

on page 11 shows the correct AWG size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere

rating. If in doubt, use the next heaviest gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
