Safety Guidelines
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times while the TMS-10 is in use. During normal operation,
sound pressure levels exceed 92dBA. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses to help prevent eye
injury. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can
get tangled in moving parts. Footwear should provide sure footing and protection from debris that may
be dropped. Take steps to be sure hair will not be caught in moving parts. If necessary, tie it back.
Disconnect the power plug before performing any service on the machine. (Figure 2, Item K)
•
When loading or unloading the saw, use caution. Make sure rolling table is locked so that the blade will not be
damaged. (Figure 4, Item Q) Do not move the saw while the motor is running.
This TMS-10 electric powered saw is designed to be used in areas where electrical power is available.
This machine is designed to cut interlocking pavers, retaining wall block and brick. The work piece must be placed on
the rolling table surface and the table used to move the work piece to the blade. Cut only in a straight
line. Do not force or twist the work piece into the blade. Personal injury or damage to the equipment or
blade can result.
• Never exceed the maximum operating speed of the blade. Match the blade speed rating with the
arbor shaft speed. (See page 7)
•
Never leave the saw running unattended.

Never operate this saw under the influence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that impair the senses or
reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
