I. PREPARATION

A. Safety Precautions

Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed.

Hazard Symbols

Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied
approved areas, and away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank
while the engine is hot or running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
Never use the fuel as a cleaning agent

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To prevent burns,
do not touch the engine or related parts while the engine is running or
immediately after it is turned off. Never operate the engine with any heat
shields or guards removed.

Keep all guards in place when operating any piece of equipment

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts

Lethal Exhaust Gas use only in well ventilated areas. Engine exhaust gases
contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is odorless, colorless, and can
cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the
engine in a closed building or confined area

Never tamper with the governor components of settings to increase the
maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the engine or
equipment can result if operated at speed above maximum. Always obey the
maximum speed rating of blade.

DO NOT LIFT THE SAW BY THE HANDLE BARS

4

Dust and Silica Warning

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust,
mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as
respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with
the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the
material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other
sources on hazardous materials and make certain to comply with all product warnings and
instructions for the safe and effective use of the material being cut. California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer,
reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects.

Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work
practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH, and
occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet
cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be
eliminated through engineering controls such as either vacuum and/or water mist, the operator
and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the
material being cut.

Head Protection

1. Before mounting any blade on the saw, the blade should be inspected for any damage
which might have occurred during shipment, handling or previous use.

2. The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for damage before
mounting the blade.

3. The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the outside
collar projecting through the drive pinhole on the blade and inside collar.

4. The blade shaft nut, which is a left-hand thread nut, must be tightened securely

against the outside blade shaft collar.

5. The blade must be operated within the specified maximum operating speed listed on
the blade.

6. Turn water control valve to full to provide adequate coolant (4 to 6 gallons per
minute) for diamond blades and wet cutting abrasive blades. Insufficient coolant
could result in severe blade breakage or diamond segment separation.

7. The blade guard must be in place with the nose guard down and locked when the saw

is running.

8. The operator should wear safety glasses and any other appropriate safety equipment.

9. When starting the saw, the operator should stand away and to the side of the blade.

10. If for any reason the saw should stall in the cut, raise the blade out of the cut. Check

the outside blade shaft collar and nut for tightness. Inspect the blade for damage
before restarting the saw. Use caution when resuming a cut. Be certain that the
blade is in alignment with the previous cut.

11. During cutting operations, do not exert excess side pressure on the handles as a

method of steering. Do not force the blade into the cut by lowering the blade too fast
or by pushing the saw too fast.

You Are Responsible For Your Safety!!!

I. PREPARATION

D. Electrical Connections

Important-Before connecting the motor leads to the power supply be sure that the

voltage, cycles and phase shown on the nameplate of the motor correspond to the

available power supply.
Voltage Selection For Single Phase Motors
1-1/2 h.p. and 2 h.p. single phase masonry saw motors have a dual voltage capable. A 115­volt or 230 volt power supply can be used. To change voltage simply move the voltage
change switch located on the front of the motor to the required voltage, no rewiring is required.
Wherever possible, use 230-volt power supply for best operation.

Failure to run the motor on the proper voltage will damage the motor and is not

covered under warranty. Improperly wired motors are not covered under warranty.

Saws are wired for 115 Volt from the factory!!!

Power Connections
Connect the power supply to the pigtail leads of the switch. Direct wiring connection is
preferred, but an extension cord with an electrical plug with 30-amp minimum capacity may be
used. A 30-amp circuit breaker is recommended. Connecting wires should be as short as
possible and in one piece. In no case should the connecting wires be longer than shown in the
following table for 1-1/2 and 2 h.p. Single-phase motors:

LENGTH OF WIRE

WIRE GAUGE 115 VOLT 230 VOLT

NUMBER 12 25 FEET 100 FEET

NUMBER 10 50 FEET 150 FEET

NUMBER 08 75 FEET 175 FEET

Caution-When wires that are too small gauge or too long are used, loss of power, over
heating, or possible damage to the motor will result.

Always use the proper wiring connectors that are UL/CSA approved to attach the

motor to the electrical supply. Any wiring hook ups should be made by qualified

personal and made to National Electrical Code and to any Local Codes.

Generators:

If a generator must be used, it must be of 8kW or larger. The generator must have a 30A
circuit and capable of providing a minimum of 8kW at the required voltage. Under size
generators will cause motor damage and is not covered under warranty.

I. PREPARATION

F. Gasoline Engine

Prior to attempting to operate the engine, read the information contained in the engine
owner's manual. An engine owner’s manual is supplied with every gasoline powered
concrete saw.

1. Check Oil: Add oil if low. Refer to the engine owner's manual for the recommended SAE
viscosity grades. Capacity of oil is 1.1 liters (1.16 US qt)

2. Check Fuel: Fill if low. Use only unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker octane rating of 86
or higher is recommended. Never use an oil and gasoline mixture!

3. Air Cleaner: Never run the engine without the air cleaner! Rapid engine wear will result
from contaminants being drawn through the carburetor and into the engine.

4. Engine Starting: Refer to the engine owner's manual for proper engine starting procedure.

Make sure that the Cutting Head Depth Limiting Bolt

Powered Saw should only rise to a maximum of nine (9) inches

above the surface of the Cutting Table

4. Place the blade on the blade shaft.

Use only Norton Clipper Diamond Blades.

5. Slide the outside blade shaft collar onto the blade shaft.

6. Tighten the blade shaft nut (clockwise) securely against the outside collar by using the
Blade Shaft Wrench 19mm and Blade Shaft Flat Wrench 22mm as show in the figure below

7. Reconnect the spark plug or reconnect the electrical power.

Use Only Norton Clipper Diamond Blades

Figure 11: Blade Tightening

17

II. OPERATION

B. How To Use " Step Cutting " With Abrasive Blades

Use "step cutting" without exception when cutting wet or dry with abrasive blades.

"Jam cutting", which is discussed and illustrated in the section following, is to be used only with
wet and dry cutting diamond blades.

1. Clamp and hold material firmly against the backstop on conveyor cart. Be certain
the material does not slip or rock during cutting operation, as this can bind blade,
causing excessive wear and fracture.

2. Move the conveyor cart near the blade, and pull down on the head until the blade is
lowered to a point where it will lightly contact the top of the material. Then start
"step cutting" - which means passing the material beneath the blade with rapid , (50
to 60 strokes per minute) full length strokes, taking a shallow cut (approximately 1/8"
deep ) on the forward, and also on the backward stroke. Complete each rapid stroke
backward and forward, by passing the material beyond the center of the blade before
starting the reverse movement of the cart. The harder the material, the more rapid
the forward and backward strokes.

3. "Step cutting as can be seen in the sketch below, lessens the area of the blade
circumference in contact with the material, keeping the blade cool, running free, and
cutting at peak efficiency. Don't get the impression "step" cutting means slow
cutting - actually it is 6 times faster than trying to "force" the cut by strong-arming
the material through the blade. Forcing the blade through with a deep cut causes a
longer area of the blade circumference to be in contact with the material, causing
excessive friction heat to be generated, which then causes the blade to "smear" or
"load" with fused material particles and lose its sharp cutting surface. (Note: If

improper operation should cause an abrasive blade to "smear", make several cuts
through a soft brick to "dress” the blade back to good cutting performance.)

18

II. OPERATION

C. How To Use "Jam Cutting" (Fixed Cutting) and "Step Cutting" With

Diamond Blades

In "Jam" cutting the head is locked in a fixed position and the material is pushed into it as
shown in the sketch at the bottom. "Jam" cutting with the head locked in a fixed position
usually provides greater efficiency.

1. To lock the head into position, tighten the lever nut at the back of the saw.

2. "Step" cutting with diamond blades is done by applying more pressure to the blade.
Unlike "step" cutting with abrasive blades, "step" cutting with diamond blades
requires only a few passes through the material.

3. In cutting, clamp the material securely and hold it firmly against the conveyor cart
backstop. If the material is allowed to slip, resulting seizure of the blade may bend
the diamond blade steel center or cause a ring section to be twisted off.

4. Do not force the material or bump into the blade. When nearing completion of the
cut, retard and slightly hold back the conveyor cart. If this is not done, the material
may be pulled into the blade so fast that excessive pressure on the rim may cause
warping or twisting of the rim section.

5. When a new diamond blade is broken in, make the first few cuts slowly until the
blade cuts freely and easily.

6. When the blade is cutting freely and easily. Use it! As long as it cuts satisfactorily do
not dress the diamond blade or remove it from the blade shaft.

7. After continuous cutting of extremely hard and dense materials, the blade may slow
down and it may be necessary to "dress" the cutting edge. To do this:

a. Use a rapid "step" cutting method for a few cuts - push the material back and
forth under the blade while it is cutting down. If this is not sufficient:
b. Make one or two cuts in a soft brick or light weight block.

However, "dressing" should be done as seldom as possible - because too much
"dressing" reduces blade life.

19

II. OPERATION

D. How To Use Blockbuster Compact For Dry Cutting

1. Use a proper blade, which is marked for dry cutting.

2. Remove the water curtain.

3. Disconnect the water pump.

4. Use "step" cutting as explained previously when using abrasive blades.

5. Use "jam" or "step" cutting when using dry cutting diamond blades.

E. How To Use Blockbuster Compact For Wet Cutting

Water may be supplied either by filling the water pan to within a half-inch of the top (for
continuous use of the same water) or by placing a barrel of water next to the saw (for
continuous flow of clean water). When using water from a barrel, remove water from
pan and submerge it in water barrel. Remove the drain plug so the used water and
sludge will drain from pan.

1. Prepare water supply.

2. Install water curtain on cutting head pivot bar.

3. Be sure the water pump is plugged into the receptacle on the back of the
masonry saw motor. (The pump will start when the main switch is turned on.)

4. Handle on petcock should be turned in line with the water flow. Start motor
and be certain that both sides of the blade are getting water.

5. Be sure that the water covers the bottom of the pump at all times. Do
not let sludge and dirt get deep enough in the pan to block the pump inlet.

6. Use "step" cutting with abrasive blades as previously directed.

7. Use "jam" cutting or "step" cutting with diamond blades as previously
described.

20

III. MAINTENANCE

The Blockbuster Compact requires very little maintenance for long satisfactory operation.
However, the following points must be watched:

A. V-Belts

The drive belts are made of premium oil and heat resistant materials. They require very little
adjustment, but should be tightened after the first few days of running.

Adjustment And Alignment
Warning: Never make adjustments to v-belts and pulleys while engine is running.

1. The best tension for a v-belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip
under full load. The normal tension is 3.8 to 5.4 lbf. approx. 1/2” defection

2. Simply take up the drive until the belts are snug in the grooves. Run the drive for
about 15 minutes to "seat" the belts. Then impose the peak load. If the belts slip,
tighten them until they no longer slip at peak load.

3. Remember, too much tension shortens belt and bearing life.

4. Check belt tension frequently during the first day of operation. Check belt tension
periodically thereafter and make any necessary adjustments.

5. The two most common causes of misalignment are shown in the drawing.
a). The engine drive shaft pulley and the blade shaft are not parallel.[See figure 1]
b). The pulleys are not located properly on the shafts.[See figure 2]

6). To check alignment, all you need is a steel straight edge.

7). Line up the straight edge along the outside face of both pulleys as shown in the
drawing.

8). Misalignment will show up as a gap between the pulley face and the straight edge.

9). Make sure that the width of the outside land is equal on both pulleys.

21

III. MAINTENANCE

B. Motor

The motors are specially designed for masonry sawing. It is totally enclosed and the
sealed bearings require no lubrication. The motor is equipped with thermal overload
protection.

1. Periodically clean the dirt and sludge build-up from the motor fan housing and
cooling fins.

2. If the motor becomes overheated, the protector shuts the motor off. Turn the motor
switch to the "OFF" and identify the cause of overheating.

D. Blade Shaft Bearings

The blade shaft bearings are lubricated and should not require daily lubrication
under normal conditions. However, to assure long life the bearings do need to be
lubricated periodically. The time interval between greasing is dependent on the running
speed and operating conditions. The following chart covers most situations and can be
used as a guide.

TEMPERATURE CLEANLINESS

GREASING INTERVAL

*UP TO 150 F Dirty 6 to 12 months
Over 150 F Dirty Daily to 2 Weeks
Any Temp Very Dirty Daily to 2 Weeks
Any Temp Extreme Conditions Daily to 2 Weeks

22

Note: Never operate saw without bearing cover in place.
For normal conditions the grease should conform to the NLGI grade two consistency
and be free of any chemical impurities such as free acid or free alkali, dust, rust, metal
particles or abrasives.
For best results, the bearings should be lubricated while in operation.

Note:
Due caution for personal safety must be observed when servicing rotating
equipment.

If necessary to lubricate while the bearing is idle, refer to lubrication table for the
maximum grease capacity for the bearings.

E. Pump

The submersible pump is mechanically driven by the V-belts and the sealed bearings
require no lubrication. The pump is designed to run wet or dry, but for continued dry
cutting, disconnect the pump.

1. Be sure to keep the pump clean - do not allow sediment to cake in the pump and

2. Keep all lines clean and running free.

3. Do not allow the Flex-cable to be pinched by the blade guard or anything else.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often

you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
