CC155 Green Concrete Saw Manual 3
• DO NOT exceed the blade’s maximum speed
when cutting. Excessive blade speeds can
cause blade breakage, resulting in serious
injuries and/or death.
• DO NOT use damaged blades when cutting to
avoid harming yourself, others, or the saw.
• DO NOT use a blade for cutting that is rated
with a lower maximum operating speed than the
blade shaft speed.
• Tighten the blade shaft nut to 50 foot-pounds
(ft-lb) (67.8 Newton-meters (Nm)) to properly
secure the outer flange and blade. Failure to
properly secure the outer flange and blade may
cause parts to loosen or fall off of the saw when
operating it.
• Raise the blade when maneuvering the saw to
provide proper clearance between the blade
and the ground.
• Let the blade cool prior to removing or replacing
blades.
Blade Guard Safety
• DO NOT operate the saw with the blade guard
raised or removed.
• Blade exposure should not exceed 180° when
cutting.
• Always pivot the blade guard up,
over 90°, so the guard does not
slide down unexpectedly, which
may cause serious injuries.
• DO NOT remove the blade guard with the
engine running.
• Always use a blade guard that corresponds with
the blade size.
• Inspect the blade guard prior to starting the
saw. Clean, repair, or replace damaged
components immediately.
Fuel Safety
• Store fuel in an appropriate safety container.
• DO NOT operate the saw with a fuel leak.
• DO NOT fuel the saw with the engine running.
• Let the engine cool prior to adding fuel.
• DO NOT smoke or expose fuel to
open flames when filling the fuel
tank or working with fuel.
• Refer to the engine manual for recommended
fuels.
• Clean up spilled fuel prior to starting the engine.
• Move the saw away from the fueling area prior
to starting the engine.
• Drain the fuel tank and fuel lines for longer
storage periods. Refer to the engine manual for
additional information.
Engine Safety
• Refer to the engine manual as the primary
source for engine safety and general care
practices.
• Occasionally measure the engine speed and
readjust the engine governor to the factory
setting, as necessary, for proper saw and blade
efficiency.
• Always know how to turn off the engine for
emergency purposes.
• Fill the fuel tank and check the oil level prior to
starting the engine.
• DO NOT leave the engine running unattended.
• Keep all body parts away from
rotating saw parts with the
engine running.
• DO NOT start the engine without the air filter(s)
installed.
• DO NOT allow dust to enter the air intake tube
when cleaning/replacing the air filter(s) to
prevent serious engine damage.
• Immediately replace damaged saw components
that may allow dust to enter the engine.
• Always operate the saw in well-
ventilated areas. Concentrated
engine exhaust can cause loss of
consciousness and/or death.
• DO NOT operate the saw around combustible
materials or fumes to prevent fires/explosions.
• DO NOT leave the saw unattended until the
engine is off and the blade has stopped
spinning.
• Wipe down the engine exterior and guards
daily/regularly to prevent high operating
temperatures. DO NOT spray the engine with
water to prevent engine damage.
• DO NOT perform maintenance with the engine
running unless stated otherwise.
• For water cooled engines, let the engine cool
prior to removing pressurized caps.
