CC6566 - CC6566-3 Concrete Saw Manual
 DO NOT expose yourself or
anyone else to the direct line of
the blade when operating the
saw.
 DO NOT allow any person, animal, and/or
object in and around the work area while
cutting.
 DO NOT assume the saw will remain still while
in Neutral when stopping and/or parking the
saw on a slope. Chock the wheels to prevent
unnecessary movement.
Hydraulic Safety
 Turn off the engine prior to servicing and/or
disconnecting hydraulic components.
 Lower the saw completely to relieve some
hydraulic fluid pressure prior to servicing the
saw.
 Always place a piece of
cardboard or paper up against
hydraulic components, or use a
leak detection fluid to check for
hydraulic fluid leaks. Keep all body parts away
from leaks and/or areas that may eject
hydraulic fluid. Pressurized hydraulic fluid can
penetrate the skin, causing serious injuries.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Belt Safety
 Turn off the engine and let the belts cool down
prior to servicing them.
 Regularly inspect the belts for fraying, stress
cracks, and/or breakage and replace
immediately when damaged.
 Always check belt alignment prior to operating
the saw.
 Over-tensioning the belts may damage the
power take-off (PTO). Under-tensioning the
belts may cause slippage, shorter belt life,
and/or poor saw performance.
 Squealing belts indicate looseness.
 DO NOT use old and new belts on the same
sheave together.
Transmission Safety
 Clean the transmission fan and fan guard
regularly to prevent high oil temperatures.
Transporting Safety
 Remove the blade prior to transporting the saw.
 Make sure the truck/trailer is in good, working
condition and sufficient to transport the load.
DO NOT tow the saw behind a vehicle.
 Close the fuel shutoff valve when transporting.
 Drain the fuel tank when transporting long
distances.
 Use heavy-duty ramps that will support the
weight of the saw and yourself when loading or
unloading.
 Raise the saw to avoid damaging components
while moving up and down ramps.
 Use extreme caution when
guiding the saw up and down
ramps. Slowly drive/push the
saw forward down the ramp.
Slowly back/pull the saw in reverse up the
ramp. Avoid standing directly downhill from the
saw to avoid serious injuries.
 Chock the wheels and secure the saw in a
truck/trailer prior to transporting.
 Turn off the engine/motor once the saw is
loaded into the truck/trailer. For self-propelled
models, place the speed control lever at Neutral
and engage the transmission prior to turning off
the engine.
 Engage the brake once the saw is secure in the
truck/trailer to help secure.
 Refer to the Department of Transportation
(DOT) for additional information on proper
transportation techniques and truck/trailer
requirements.
Lifting Safety
 Move yourself and all others away
from the lifting area when hoisting
the saw to prevent being crushed.
 Secure the appropriate hoisting cables, straps,
and/or chains to the saw’s designated lift points prior
to hoisting.
 DO NOT attempt to lift the saw irresponsibly and/or
improperly.
