Special attention should be paid to the control locations and functions, all warning messages, and possible hazardous operations conditions. 2. Proper training includes informing the operator as to the correct protective clothing and safety equipment that should be worn while operating the equipment, Clothes that fit properly (that is, not too tight and not too loose) includes a long sleeve shirt buttoned at the cuff, long cuffless pants, steel toe safety shoes and safety glasses or full face shield, These items should be mandatory apparel for the operator.

INTENDED USE This machine is intended to be used for the sole purpose of cutting flat, level, built-up roofs in the re-roofing process. ‘The cutter is designed to cut only BITUMEN, EMBEDDED GRAVEL, FELTS and INSULATION ~ NOTHING ELSE! BEFORE STARTING A\warning Make certain that the blade cover, belt cover and shaft cover are in place and all bolts and nuts are tightened securely. Never under any circumstances operate the machine without the blade cover, belt cover and shaft cover bolted firmly in place. Never put hands, feet or any parts of body close to the rotating blade underneath the blade cover when engine is running. Never leave the machine unattended when the engine is running,Note: If there is a significant amount of loose gravel or other debris on the roof, it will be necessary to sweep the loose material up before start cutting, This will avoid flying stones and excessive wear on the carbide blade, Keep rubber\chain guards on blade cover in good, working condition to prevent loose material from flying out underneath. Make certain that the engine crankcase is filled with oil and that the engine has been serviced as per the engine instruction. — FIGURE #1 FIGURE #2 Raise the depth control bar so that the washer welded to it is resting against the stop. Then, turn the depth control bar handle counter-clockwise until the blade can rotate freely without touching the deck (see figure #1). As an extra precaution, push down on the handles of the cutter until the smaller diameter of the depth control bar drops into the slot. This raises the front end to the ‘UP’ position, thus providing additional clearance for the blade (see figure #2). STARTING THE ENGINE Start the engine, and when running smoothly, raise the depth control bar until the washer again rests against the stop. Then, turn the depth control bar handle SLOWLY CLOCKWISE until the blade is cutting into the roof to the desired depth; just enough to penetrate the felts, and not more than half the thickness of the insulation. Push the cutter forward only as fast as the cutter will easily cut into the roof. If you want to stop sawing, push down on the handles and the cutter will lock into the ‘UP’ position,letting the blade rotate freely without cutting the roof. Take every precaution not to cut through metal or any other type of roof deck under the roof membrane. To avoid flying stones and excessive wear on the blade, ALWAYS clear the roof of all loose gravel or other debris. Keep rubber\chain guards on blade cover in good, free working condition to prevent loose material from flying out underneath. NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES operate the cutter without the blade cover, belt cover and shaft cover bolted firmly in place. BLADE REPLACEMENT A\ Warning Never open the blade cover, belt cover and shaft cover when the engine is running When replacing the blade, stop the engine and remove spark plug cable from spark plug. Remove the blade cover by loosen the two bolts and nuts. Remove nut and outer washer, and then remove the old blade. Place new blade on the shaft so that the lower cutting edge faces forward. Place outer washer over shaft against blade; then tighten nut very securely against washer. Install the blade cover back in place and tighten all bolts and nuts securely. MAINTENANCE Clean and grease the thread rod on the depth control bar monthly. For engine maintenance, carefully follow the engine maintenance instructions that are provided with this machine.Pars # | Qh Description] ["# | Pans# [Qn Description 1 _[Sc-o1 1 | Fagine é [Sc 1 | Shaft 2 [sco 1 | Air intake Housing 12_[sciz 1 pyr 318-03. 1 | Main Frame 1B [SC 1_| Blade Cover 4_[SC-04 [1 | Wheel Bracket | aa 1 | Belt Cover S| sC-os 1_| Front Whee! | (as Tseis 2 | Rear Wheel 6 [sc-06 1_| Shaft Cover | [ae Tsc-i6 2 | Belts 7 [sC-or 2 | Bearings 17 1_| Engine Pall 3 | scos 1_| Saf Puig i 1 [Depth Control Bar 9 | sc09 1_| Blade 19 L intake Inlet 10 | SC-10 2 | Washer 20 1_[AieDuct 21 1 [Blade Cover's Wheel
