• Before powering or starting, check for damage that could prevent this equipment from proper operation or
performing its intended function. Check for binding and alignment of moving parts. Check for damaged,
broken, or missing parts.
• Verify the trigger switch, locking button is in the "RELEASE" position.
• Before connecting the BX-3 to a power supply, be sure the voltage, cycle and phase of the job site power
source meet the requirements of TABLE 3
VOLTAGE: 115v

TABLE 3
• If using an extension power cord, make sure the length and wire gauge corresponds to the requirements
listed in TABLE 1 on page 7. An extension power cord that is too small in wire gauge (diameter), or too
long in length, will cause the motor to overheat and could cause premature failure.
• Use an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
• Do not cover the motor vents as this could lead to motor overheating.
Portable Generator:
If using a portable generator to provide power, ensure the generator meets the following minimum
requirements:
8 kW 120/240 volts 66.7/33.3 amps Single Phase
Pre-start Inspection:
The pre-start inspection should be performed before beginning any job.
NOTE: In order to avoid breaker tripping, a 20-amp circuit breaker should be used.
If the Diamond Blade shows signs of fatigue cracking, replace the blade before starting work.
