695GC / 695F4 OPERATOR'S MANUAL
THE FOLLOWING SYMBOL APPLIES TO ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THIS PAGE
WARNING
Chain breakage can result in high-speed ejection of parts, which can result in death or
serious personal injury to operators or bystanders. The items listed below are critical to
minimizing the risk of chain breakage and injury.
• DO NOT operate a concrete chain saw with a damaged, modified, broken, or missing side
cover, bottom guard, or guard flap. The side cover, bottom guard, and guard flap provides
protection against contact with moving parts, ejected debris, broken diamond chain,
thrown water and concrete slurry.
• DO NOT operate saw with loose, missing, damaged or improperly repaired parts.
• DO NOT insert saw into a slot narrower than the chain segments. Rapid pushback might
occur. Reference: Most diamond segments are .225 inches (5.72 mm) wide.
• DO NOT use damaged, modified or improperly repaired chain.
• DO NOT run saw upside-down. Concrete debris can fly back into the operator's face.
• DO NOT cut ductile iron pipe with the concrete chain saw (except when using PowerGrit
Utility Saw Chain). Segment loss or diamond chain breakage may occur.
• See page 16 for information about cutting ductile iron pipe with PowerGrit chain.
