• Cast saw
• 2.5 inch diameter saw blade
• Wrench
• Owner's manual

Warnings

The blade oscillates rapidly and becomes very warm if pushed through the cast using constant pressure. Read instructions completely, to assure proper operation. Dull or damaged blades should never be used. While in use, keep hands away from the oscillating blade.

• Appropriate selection, use and maintenance of a sharp blade is necessary for safe, efficient cast removal. Extra friction caused by a dull blade will create excessive blade heat. DO NOT ATTEMPT to cut non-plaster cast materials with blades recommended for plaster casts.

The Following Items Should Be Considered When Operating The Cast Cutter:

• Grounding continuity should be checked periodically.
• Electrical repairs must only be made by a qualified technician.
• The power supply cord should be kept away from the cutting area at all times.
• When disconnecting the Cast Cutter from an outlet, pull on the plug. Never disconnect by pulling on the cord.
• In order to assure proper grounding, plug the unit in receptacle marked "Hospital Grade."
• Do not operate in areas where flammable or explosive vapors may be present.
• Do not autoclave or immerse in any liquid.
• Disconnect power cord before changing blade.

Cautions

Consideration should be given to the airborne dust created when certain cast materials are removed. An accessory dust collection system has proven effective in removing most dust created by the cutting action of the oscillating blade. Ear protection should be considered when cutting materials that create excessive noise.
