I. PREPARATION

A. Safety Precautions

Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed.

Hazard Symbols

Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if

ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-

ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from sparks or

flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running.

Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.

Never use the fuel as a cleaning agent

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To

prevent burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the

engine is running or immediately after it is turned off. Never

operate the engine with any heat shields or guards removed.

Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts

Lethal Exhaust Gas use only in well ventilated areas. Engine

exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is

odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling

exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or

confined area

Never tamper with the governor components of settings to increase

the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the

engine or equipment can result if operated at speed above

maximum. Always obey the maximum speed rating of blade.

DO NOT LIFT THE SAW BY THE HANDLE

Dust and Silica Warning

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can

generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or

fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the

particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being

used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the

material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and

NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make certain to comply

with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the

material being cut. California and some other authorities, for instance, have

published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or

other harmful effects.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use

good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier,

OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used

for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from

inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated through engineering

controls such as either vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any

bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the

material being cut.

I. PREPARATION

E. Electrical Connections

Important Before connecting the motor leads to the power supply, be sure that

the voltage, cycles and phase shown on the nameplate of the motor correspond to

the available power supply.

Both the 5 h.p. and 7-1/2 h.p. motors have overload protectors and are equipped

with a reset button on the motor housing. If, after proper electrical connections are

made, the motor will not run, press the reset button to the overload protector

switch.

Voltage Selection for Single Phase Motors 3 h.p. Single phase masonry saw

motors have' an * optional dual voltage switch so that 115 volt or 230-volt power

supply can be used with no change in wiring. Wherever possible, use 230 volt

power supply for best operation. To change voltage, remove the screw on the

motor voltage toggle switch, and set the toggle switch knob to the connected

operating voltage .

Power Connections

Connect the power supply to the pigtail leads of the switch. Direct wiring

connection is preferred, but an extension cord with an electrical plug with 30 amp

minimum capacity may be used. Connecting wires should be as short as possible

and in one piece. In no case should the connecting wires be longer than shown in

the following table for 3 and 5 h.p. single phase motors:

Length Of Wire

Wire Gauge 3 HP 115-Volt 3 &5 HP 230-Volt

12 -NA- 50’

10 25’ 100’

08 50’ 150’

06 75’ -NA-

Caution-When wires that are too small gauge or too long are used, loss of power,

over heating, or possible damage to the motor will result.
