Read and understand this Operator’s Instruction Manual,
and the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
before operating this equipment.
Death of serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly.
Safety Guidelines
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times while the saw is in use. During normal operation, sound pressure levels exceed 92dBA. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses to help prevent eye injury . S tandard eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can get tangled in moving parts. Footwear should provide sure footing and protection from debris that may be dropped. Take step s to insure hair will not be caught in moving part s. If necessary ,
tie it back.
• When loading or unloading the saw, use caution. Make sure rolling t able is locked so that the blade will not be damaged. Do not move the saw while the engine is running.
• Never exceed the maximum operating speed of the blade. Match the blade speed rating with the arbor shaft speed. (See page 1 1)
• Never leave the saw running unattended.
• Never operate this saw under the influence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that impair the senses or reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
• Do not lend or rent this equipment without including the Operator’s Instruction Manual and the Engine Manufacturer’s Manual.
• Make sure all safety decals can be clearly read and understood. Replace damaged or missing decals immediately .
For Electric Models:
• Electric motor must be properly grounded at all times. Check the outlet box to be sure the electrical service is properly grounded and that adequate power is available. Insufficient power will cause motor to overheat and burn out. Use only grounded extension cords correctly sized for the current draw and voltage drop (amp rating and length). Never use frayed, damaged, taped or underrated extension cords. Electrical shock could result in death or serious injury and damage to the equipment.
For Gasoline Models:
• Poisonous exhaust gas. Do not operate gasoline powered equipment without adequate ventilation. Carbon monox­ide is an invisible, odorless gas that can kill. NEVER REFUEL AN ENGINE WHILE IT IS HOT OR AN ENGINE WHILE IT IS RUNNING . Only refuel in a well-ventilated area and only refuel after the engine has cooled completely. Thoroughly cleanup any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Dry cutting creates a large volume of airborne dust. For health reasons, the operator should wear an applicable respirator. The dust may cont ain chemicals known to cause serious illnesses, includ­ing Silicosis - a fatal disease of the lungs. Check the chemical properties of the material to be cut and follow all EPA/OSHA regulations.
Safety warnings and guidelines do not by themselves eliminate danger.
They are not substitutes for proper accident prevention procedures and good judgement.

Operating Instructions
Before Starting:
• Read and understand the instructions supplied by the engine manufacturer.
• Familiarize yourself with all engine and saw controls. (Figures 2-5)
• Visually inspect the entire machine for damage or wear. Look for signs of oil or fuel
leaks. Remove excess dirt or debris. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight. Check for proper alignment of moving parts, possible binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, loose mounting brackets, and any other condition that might affect operation.
E-MS-GMS14&20-I-1002
• Inspect diamond blade and arbor shaft. Check blades for cracks, loose segments,
worn or out-of-round arbor holes. Do not use warped, twisted, out-of-balance blades or any blade of questionable condition. Refer to Rx for Diamond Blades.
• Install back splash shield (Figure 6 and 7).
Figure 6
On Gasoline Models:
• Gasoline models are shipped from the factory dry , meaning without oil or gasoline.
Both will need to be added before the unit is used. Check the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for instructions on break-in, servicing and proper use of engine.
• Check engine oil. Make sure that it is at the proper level and that it is clean.
Note: Some engines have an Oil Alert System that will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit. T o avoid an unexpected shut down, check the oil level regularly during operation.
• Check the fuel level. Do not over fill fuel tank and never refuel a hot engine. If refueling is necessary during operation,
allow engine to cool down first.
Figure 7
On Electric Models:
• Electric masonry saws are shipped with a twist lock, grounded, male plug attached to the machine and a female
mating connector which a qualified licensed electrician should attach to a user-supplied extension cord. V erify
that the extension cord is sized appropriately for the electrical load and that it is properly grounded. Use only 3 wire (single phase), 4 wire (three phase) grounded electrical
cables that are marked U.L. and/or C.S.A. approved.
• Inspect the power and extension cords for damage. Do not use if either cord is frayed or
showing signs of wear.
• Identify the electrical power requirements of the saw . The voltage requirement s of the
motor can be found on the motor data plate. For dual voltage models, be sure the voltage selector switch position correctly matches the incoming power source and that it is locked into the selected voltage position with the locking bolt. (Figure 8)
• V erify that the power switch is in the off position before plugging machine into the power
source.

Cutting:
• Do not strain the engine/motor while cutting. Do not jam work piece into the blade. Do not twist the work piece while
cutting.
• When you have finished cutting:
On gasoline models: To stop engine, return throttle to idle. Stop the engine by turning the engine mounted stop
switch to the OFF position. Do not leave the saw running unattended.
On electric models: Depress the stop botton on the motor starter box. Wait until saw comes to a complete stop
before performing any type maintenance.
• Clean dust and debris from machine.
IMPORT ANT:
• When actually cutting masonry products, it is important that the blade is at it’s maximum RPM. DO NOT force or
jam the blade. Forcing the blade will cause the motor to overheat, tripping the overload device or severe motor
damage.
• Do not reach underneath or around work piece while the blade is rotating.
• Keep stable footing at all times while cutting.
• Keep hair, clothing, fingers and all body parts away from the blade and any other

Belt Adjustment and Replacement:
• Periodically check belts for damage, same type and are at the proper tension. Do not mix belts. Slipping belts will overheat causing the cutting speed to be limited and shorten the life of the belts. Over-tensioned belts will shorten the life of the belts and bearings.
• On new equipment and after installing new belts of the same type, be certain to re-tension the belts after the first 4
hours of use. New belts are stiff and require a break in period. Belts that are loose could slip and/or overheat.
• Damaged, stretched or excessively worn belts should be replaced with a new complete set of belts of the same
type. Do not mix belts.
Important!
• Belts must be replaced as a complete set of the same type, do not mix
belts even if only one belt is showing wear.
• Blade must be realigned every time the belts are tensioned.
On Gasoline Models:
• Access belts from back of machine.
• Unlock belt guard and lift top portion out of the way . Water pump and drive belts are now accessible.
• T o change water pump belt, follow “disengage”
instructions on page 9.
• T o change drive belts, loosen engine mount bolts and adjust jacking bolt until belts can be removed.
