SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Always wear protective clothing, including hard hat, eye protection, hearing
protection, and gloves.
• Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Perform safety checks before starting each day.
• Always operate tool with solid footing and with both hands on saw.
• Remove or control slurry to prevent slippery conditions while cutting.
• Be sure there are no obstructions (plumbing, electrical conduit, air ducts)
and no unnecessary people present.
• Set up a well-marked safety zone with a roped boundary and clear signs.
• Provide adequate ventilation when working in an enclosed area. Breathing
exhaust gases is dangerous.
• To avoid electrocution, check for live electrical wiring near cutting area.
ICS diamond chain saws require a continuous water supply to the
guidebar and chain, a key purpose of which is dust suppression.
The potential for airborne particulates depends on many factors
including, but not limited to, the material being cut, application
and cutting environment. In all cases, a water flow rate not less
than 2 gpm/8 lpm through the saw should be used to minimize this
potential. Local and or regional regulations can vary widely. It is the
responsibility of the operator to wear appropriate dust protection
applicable in their area and suitable to the application.
