CC1200-CC1300XL Concrete Saw Manual 3
• 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/screw 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
when dry cutting.
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 front of the blade
guard 180° (fully upward) so the
guard does not swing back
unexpectedly, which may cause
serious injuries.
• DO NOT remove the blade guard with the
engine/motor running.
• Always use a blade guard that corresponds with
the blade size.
• Inspect the blade guard and its water tubes
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.
• Fuel may seep out from the fuel cap vent
(applicable models) when the saw is raised.
• 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/Motor Safety
• Refer to the engine/motor manual as the
primary source for engine/motor safety and
general care practices.
• Occasionally measure the engine speed and
adjust the engine governor, as necessary, to
the factory setting for proper saw and blade
efficiency.
• Always know how to turn off the engine/motor
for emergency purposes.
• Fill the fuel tank and check the oil level prior to
starting the engine.
• DO NOT leave the engine/motor running
unattended.
• Keep all body parts away from
rotating saw parts with the
engine/motor 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/motor is off and the blade has stopped
spinning.
• Wipe down the engine/motor exterior and
guards daily or regularly to prevent high
operating temperatures. DO NOT spray the
engine/motor with water to prevent engine
damage.
• DO NOT touch the engine/muffler assembly
with the engine running, and always let the
parts cool down after operating the saw to
prevent serious burns.
