English
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your power tool carefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
machine.
WARNING
Check for fuel leakage
while refueling and during
operation. If fuel leakage
is found, do not start or
run the engine until the
leak is fixed and any
spilled fuel has been
wiped away. Take care
not to get fuel on your
clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing
immediately.
WARNING
If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially
trousers, it is very important to change
clothes immediately. Do not rely upon
evaporation. Flammable quantities of
fuel may remain on clothes after a spill
for longer than expected.
WARNING
Before use, make sure that the fuel cap
has been properly tightened and any
spilled fuel wiped away. An improperly
tightened fuel cap can loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.

Bayonet Fuel Filler Cap
Never use a tool to open or close the
bayonet fuel filler cap, as this could
damage the cap and cause fuel to leak
out.
The bayonet fuel filler cap must be
closed with care after refuelling.
WARNING
Never attempt to force the cap open by
using a tool. It may damage the cap and
allow fuel to leak.
Before Starting
Take off the chain guard (scabbard) and
inspect the concrete cutter for proper
condition and operation. (See the
maintenance chart near the end of the
instruction manual.)
WARNING
Always check your power tool for proper
condition and operation before starting,
particularly the throttle trigger, throttle
trigger lockout, stop switch and cutting
tool. The throttle trigger must move
freely and always spring back to the idle
position. Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices.
WARNING
Check fuel system for leaks, especially
the visible parts, e.g., filler cap, hose
connections, manual fuel pump (only for
power tools equipped with a manual fuel
pump). Do not start the engine if there
are leaks or damage – risk of fire! Have
the machine repaired by a servicing
dealer before using it.
WARNING
Never operate your concrete cutter
without a front hand guard. This guard
helps protect your left hand.
WARNING
Never operate your power tool if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or
maintained, or not completely or
securely assembled.
For proper assembly of the bar and
chain follow the procedure described in
the chapter "Mounting the Bar and
Diamond Abrasive Chain" of your
instruction manual. Diamond abrasive
chain, guide bar and sprocket must
match each other in gauge and pitch.
Before replacing any bar and chain, see
the chapter entitled "Specifications" in
the instruction manual.
WARNING
Always check the diamond abrasive
chain before use. Look for cracks and
make sure, that it is undamaged and in
good condition and that no pieces have
broken off.
