Change Engine Oil:
• Check Engine Oil before each operation. Open the fi ller cap and look at the dip stick. (Figure 16)
Oil should be clearly visable both on the stick and in the cavity and should look fairly clean. Running the machine
on dirty oil or when the oil is low will result in damage to the equipment.
• Change the Engine Oil after every 50 hours of operation - or sooner as conditions require. Refer to the Engine
Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for specifi c viscosity recommendations and changing instructions.
Inspect and Clean Oil Air Filter:
Shown with fi lter element. Outer foam fi lter is removable for cleaning. Refer to the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s
Manual for instructions on specifi c models. Check air fi lter at least once daily. (Figure 17)
Dirt build up on the fi lter will cause the engine to wear faster.

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing
chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being
cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheets and/or consult your employer,
the manufacturers/suppliers, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recom-
mendations of the manufacturers/suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should
be used for dust suppression when wet grinding/cutting/drilling is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust,
mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved
by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being used.
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or
mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous
other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or
fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable
crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When grinding/cutting/drilling such materials, always follow
the respiratory precautions mentioned above.
