When using a chain with double bumpers, the chain can
be fitted either way round.
When using a chain with one bumper, the chain should
always be fitted the right way round. The bumper should
lead the segment away from the saw into the cut.

Check the chain

• Check that the chain does not show signs of damage
in the form of play on the links, broken raker or drive
links or broken segments. If the diamond chain is
damaged replace it.
• If the chain has been exposed to hard jamming or
other abnormal overloading, the chain should be
dismantled from the bar for careful inspection.

Check the saw

The saw is equipped with a number of safety features that
protect the operator in the event of chain breakage. These
safety features must be checked before work starts. Never
use the saw if any of the following parts are damaged or
missing:
• Cover, transmission
• Damaged or missing hand guard
• Damaged chain
• Damaged or missing spray guard.
• Damaged rear right hand guard

Material

WARNING! Under no circumstances may
!
the diamond chain saw be converted to
cut other materials than those it is
intended for. It must never be equipped
with a timber/wood saw chain.
This machine is designed for and intended for sawing
concrete, brick and different stone materials. All other use
is improper.
The saw must never be used to cut pure metals. This will
probably result in broken segments or chain breakage.
The diamond segment can cut reinforced concrete. Try to
cut the reinforcement together with as much concrete as
possible, this will save the chain.
