DUST WARNING

Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes from the material being cut, which frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other

minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of such dust can cause:

• Respiratory diseases (affecting your ability to breath), including chronic bronchitis, silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from exposure to silica. These diseases may be fatal;

• Skin irritation and rash; and

• Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*

* National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research on Cancer

Take precautionary steps

• Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;

• Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;

• Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory protection such as dust masks

designed to filter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)

California Prop 65 Warning:

CAUTION!

DO NOT run Water Pump (4) for extended periods of time without water! Water Pump (4) could be damaged!

Blade Depth Stop:

This machine is equipped with an adjustable stop that prevents the Blade (6) from cutting into the Conveyor Cart Assembly (2). The Depth Stop (45)

2. By using the Lifting Eye (42), a lifting sling can slipped through the Eye, and along with a lift truck or a crane, the machine can be easily moved. The Cutting Head Assembly (28) should be lowered as much as possible to avoid hitting the lifting sling when the machine is

lifted.

Page 15

WARNING!

Only use Lifting Sling approved for overhead lifting. Using Improper Lifting Sling can result in injury or death of operator or persons in work area!

4. Fitting The Blade

• The blade rotates in a “down-cut” direction. This means that the front of the blade is moving downward while the rear of the blade is moving upward. Mount the Blade (6) so that the arrow on the blade rotates in this “down-cut” direction. The Blade (6) can be installed or removed by using the 3/4” (19 mm) end of the Wrench (7) provided.

• After mounting the Blade (6), it should align over the top of the wooden insert in the Conveyor Cart (2). During operation of this unit, the blade should pass into the wooden insert, but NOT into the cast aluminum part of the Conveyor Cart (2).

3. Mount the Blade (6) to the Arbor Shaft (11) and install the Outer Flange (9). Install and tighten Capscrew (8) by turning it in a Clockwise direction (Right Hand Thread). Use the Wrench (7) to firmly tighten the Capscrew (8) to the arbor shaft.

WARNING!

Use only Abrasive blades of a reinforced type. Never use an abrasive blade with water.

Conventional “Wet” diamond blades MUST be used with water.

DO NOT use conventional “Wet” diamond blades without water. Using conventional “wet” diamond blades without water can result in injury or death of the operator or persons in the work area!

Mounting the Blade (6):

5. Operating Instructions

Configure the saw for wet or dry operation. Note that the saw is factory assembled for dry operation.

Wet Operation:

WARNING!

Use only Abrasive blades of a reinforced type. Never use an abrasive blade with water.

1. Using the Wrench (7) provided (or one of your own) loosen the Capscrew (8) by turning it Counter-Clockwise.

2. Remove the Outer Flange (9) and make sure the Outer Flange (9), the Inner Flange (10), and

Arbor Shaft (11) are clean and not damaged.

Fill the water reservoir pan [of the Frame Assembly (1)] with water to within 1 inch (25 mm) of the top. Be sure that the water pump intake Strainer (12) is fully immersed in water at all times. Keep the intake screen clean and free of sludge, slurry, or other foreign material.

Make sure the Water Valve (13) on the blade guard is in the open position (Lever parallel with valve body). Squeeze the Primer Pump (14) until water flows out of the blade guard water tubes. Adjust the water flow with the Water Valve (13), and check the water flow before cutting.

Page 16

Make sure that the Water Pump (4) is engaged

before cutting material. If the Water Pump (4) is not in the position shown above, loosen the Water Pump Knobs (5) and push all the way to the right.

Dry Operation:

WARNING!

Conventional “Wet” diamond blades MUST be used with water. DO NOT use conventional “Wet” diamond blades without water. Using conventional “wet” diamond blades without water can result in injury or death of the operator or persons in the work area!

When cutting without water use only diamond blades that are intended to be used dry (without water). Conventional “Wet” diamond blades MUST be used with water.

CAUTION!

DO NOT run the WATER PUMP (4) for extended periods of time without water! The WATER PUMP (4) could be damaged!

• Hint: To reduce vibration of the saw, the water

reservoir pan [of the Frame Assemble (1)] can be filled with sand. Be sure to remove the water pump intake Strainer (12) to avoid contaminating it with dirt or sand.

Remove the Water Splash Curtain (17) so that dust flow freely out the back of the saw. The saw is now ready for dry cutting.

Cutting Operations:

Cutting Methods: This unit allows three methods for the blade to contact the material:

Make sure that the Water Pump (4) is disengaged before starting the engine. If it is not in the position shown above, loosen the Water Pump Knobs (5)

and push all the way to the left.

1. Fixed Head Cutting Method:

Position the head to the desired height by turn-

ing the Height Adjustment Handle (15). When the desired height is reached, stop turning the handle and the cutting head will remain in position.

Page 17

STOP

START (ON)

STOP

2. Hand Controlled Cutting Method:

Hold the Hand Grip (16) and lower the blade

into the material. The blade will return to the upper position when force is released from the Hand Grip.

Start the engine by using the procedure in the engine operation manual. Make sure that the Stop Switch (19) is in the “START” (On) Position before using the engine starting rope. Open the engine throttle full open. All sawing is done at full throttle. Do Not change the engine governor setting

-- it is factory set for the correct speed. See the “Specifications” section of this document for proper engine & blade shaft RPM.

3. Foot Controlled Cutting Method:

Push the Foot Pedal (18) using your foot, and

the blade is lowered into the material. The blade will return to the upper position when force is released from the foot pedal.

After the Cutting Method has been determined,

move Conveyor Cart (2) to the front of the saw so that the blade DOES NOT contact the material, then place material on Conveyor Cart Assembly (2).

WARNING!

Keep hands clear of rotating blade during operation. READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS before operating this machine.

When cutting without water use only diamond blades that are intended to be used dry (without water). Conventional “Wet” diamond blades MUST be used with water.

Cut the material using one of the Cutting Methods described in the above section. Gently push the material into the blade. When the material is completely cut, return the conveyor cart to the original position.

Stopping the Unit:

Starting and Stopping:

After determining if the material will be cut wet or dry, and the deciding on the cutting method, the engine can now be started.

Page 18

Stop the unit by putting the Stop Switch (19) into the “Stop” (Off) position. Wait for all blade movement to stop before removing material from the machine.

• Check engine oil daily. Change engine oil after every 50 hours of operation. Engine Oil capacity is shown below. See engine operation manual for proper care and maintenance.

Emergency: In an emergency situation turn the Stop Switch (19) to the STOP (OFF) position.

6. Incidents During Operation

• If the engine or motor stops during sawing, check the following:

1. Out of fuel: Check fuel level.

2. Low Oil Level: This unit is equipped with a

shut down system that stops the engine if a low oil level is encountered. Check the engine oil level while the engine is in a horizontal position.

• If the engine or blade stalls for any reason, raise the blade completely out of the cut, inspect the machine thoroughly before restarting. When lowering the blade into a partial cut, align the blade exactly with the cut to prevent damage to the blade.

• Excessively fast cutting will stall the engine.

• If the blade stops during sawing check that the drive belt tension is adequate.

Every 50 Hours:

• Change Engine Oil:

Change Engine Oil: Change engine oil after every 50 hours of operation.

Engine Oil Type:

Under normal operating conditions use SAE 10W30 API service classification SF or SG. See engine operation manual for other recommended oil types.

Engine Oil Capacity (9hp & 13hp Honda):

1.16 U.S. Quarts, 1.1 Liters.

7. Maintenance

WARNING!

Before performing any maintenance, ALWAYS locate the machine on a level surface with the engine OFF, and the Stop switch in the OFF position.

Check Daily:

• Clean the reservoir pan [of Frame Assembly (1)] to remove sludge and slurry. This concrete slurry is an abrasive cutting compound and will shorten the life of the Water Pump (4) and the Diamond Blade (6). Clean the reservoir pan twice a day in heavy cutting. Then refill the water reservoir pan with clean water.

• At the end of each day clean the water reservoir pan [of Frame Assembly (1)] to remove sludge from the saw. Flush clean water through the Water Pump (4) and hoses.

• Check engine air cleaner daily! If cutting dry check engine air cleaner every four hours! Clean or replace air cleaner element as recommended by the engine manufacturer.

1. Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete oil drain. Place a bucket under the Oil Drain Hose (20) to catch the used oil. Remove the Oil Drain Plug (22) on the end of the Oil Drain Hose (20) and wait for all of the used oil to be drained for the engine.

2. Re-install and securely tighten the Oil Drain Plug (22).

3. Re-fill engine with the recommended oil type. See the engine operation manual for the oil fill location and proper oil level. Note that the required oil capacity will be larger because of the volume of oil contained in the Oil Drain Hose (20).

4. Re-install the oil fill cap after filling engine with oil.

5. Dispose of the used oil in a proper container and in a manner that is compatible with the environment.

When Required:

• “Sta-Level” Blade Guard: If the blade guard becomes loose and pivots too freely the blade guard rotation can be tightened. Adjust the Top Wheel (21) of the three (3) wheels behind the blade guard:

1. Loosen the NUT (23) holding the Top Wheel

(21) in position.

• Note: Before starting to align the head platform

make sure the blade is flat and is NOT bent or damaged!

• Note: When aligning the blade against the

square be sure to allow for the difference in thickness between the diamond segment and the center core of the blade!

Blade Alignment:

1. Make sure the Conveyor Cart Assembly (2) rolls freely along the pan. If the pan is damaged it must be repaired or replaced before the blade can be aligned. Adjust the Cutting Head Assembly (28) so that the Blade (6) is lowered to the Conveyor Cart (2).

2. Adjust the Setscrew (24) to force the Top Wheel (21) down against the Track Bar (25).

3. Re-tighten the Nut (23) holding the Top Wheel (21) in position.

• Blade Shaft Housing Replacement and Blade Alignment: The blade shaft arbor on this machine is aligned at the factory so that a new blade will cut “square” with the material placed on the Conveyor Cart Assembly (2). There are two reasons that a blade could be out of alignment:

1. If the Blade Shaft Housing (29) or Blade Shaft Assembly needs to be replaced. If this is the case, take note of the position and quantity of Shims (26) behind the blade shaft Assembly before completely removing it from the saw. If the shims are placed back in position when the new Blade Housing Assembly (29) is installed there is normally no reason to re-align the blade. If this is not the case, follow the alignment procedure shown below.

2. If the saw is dropped or damaged, the blade could become mis-aligned so that it no longer cuts “squarely” through the material. If this occurs the blade shaft should be re-aligned so that the saw will produce “square” cuts. If the Blade is severely out of alignment [1/16” (1.5 mm)

or more] parts of the Cutting Head assem-

bly (28) may need to be replaced. Precise alignment can be achieved by using the Adjustment Screws (27) and/or Shims (26) and following the procedure.

2. Parallel Alignment: Supply a Square (30) and place it on the Conveyor Cart Assembly (2) as shown in the diagram above. Roll the Conveyor Cart Assembly (2) while the Square (30) rests against the blade. Adjust the Blade Shaft into Parallel Alignment (if required) by putting Shims (26) between the vertical surface behind the Blade Shaft Housing (29) and Head Platform Weldment at location “A1” shown on the diagram above. Loosen, but do not remove, the Capscrews (31) holding the blade shaft in position. Slide a Shim (26), of the proper thickness, upward and position around the thread of ONE of the capscrews. Tighten the hardware and check the blade alignment. Add more shims if required until until the gap between the Blade (6) and the Square (30) is minimized, and consistent over the entire length that the Conveyor Cart (2) travels.

Page 20

3. Perpendicular Alignment: Place the Square (30)

on the Conveyor Cart Assembly (2) so that it is against the saw Blade (6) and is below the center of the blade shaft. If the Square (30) does NOT contact the Blade (6) along the entire height of the square, the blade shaft must adjusted into Perpendicular Alignment. Adjust the Blade Shaft Housing (29) by adjusting the Capscrews And Jam Nuts (33) of the Horizontal surface of the Cutting Head Assembly. First loosen the Blade Shaft Housing Attaching Capscrews (32), then tighten ONE of the Capscrews (33) until the Square and the Blade (6) contact along the entire length of the Square. Tighten down the corresponding Jam Nut (33), the tighten the Blade Shaft Housing Attaching Capscrews (32). Next, gently tighten down the remaining Capscrew and Jam Nut (33) just firmly enough so that it does not loosen during use.

Assembly (2) downward, the Springs (40) should be loosened so that they become shorter in length. To do this, turn each of the Drawbolts (41) CounterClockwise until the desired pivot force is achieved.

Cutting Head Assembley Does Not Raise Properly: If the Cutting Head will not pivot to the

maximum upper position, then the Springs (40) need to be tightened so that they become longer in length. This could be required a few days after using a new saw when it becomes covered in dirt and concrete slurry. To do this, turn each of the Drawbolts (41) Clockwise so the spring force increases until the desired force is achieved.

8. V-Belt Tension

• The saw is equipped with high tension V-Belts. The belts are properly tensioned at the factory, but after a few hours of operation they will stretch and become loose.

Tensioning Engine V-Belts (46):

• Raise-Lower of the Cutting Head Assembly (2):

Cutting Head Assembly Is Hard To Lower:

If excess force required to pivot the Cutting Head

The Engine V-Belt (46) is a “Banded” type 3VX belt. Supplied with each replacement belt is “tension strip” that can be used to check the tension of this belt while installing on the saw.

1. If this belt needs to be tensioned, loosen,

but do not remove, the four (4) Engine Base Capscrews (38) that hold the engine platform in place.

2. Loosen the Engine Belt Tensioning Jam Nut

(35) on the rear underside edge of the engine platform.

3. Tighten the Engine Belt Tensioning Bolt (36)

until the proper belt tension is achieved.

4. Re-tighten the Engine Belt Tensioning Jam Nut

(35), and the four (4) Engine Base Capscrews (38).

Tensioning Blade Shaft V-Belts:

The blade shaft V-Belts are standard “single groove” 3VX belts. Check the tension in these belts when the unit is new and never set the belt tension beyond this point. Belt tension can be checked with a standard belt tension gauge through the Slot (48) in the inner belt guard.

1. Remove Belt Guard.

2. If these belts need to be tensioned, loosen, but do not remove, the six (6) Carriage Bolts (39) that hold front of the Cutting Head Assembly (28) to the rear section of that same assembly.

3. Loosen the Bladeshaft Belt Tensioning Jam Nut (34) on the Top of the Cutting Head Assembly (28).

• Blade flanges must be full diameter - minimum of 4” (101,6 mm). Replace worn flanges at once because undersized flanges shorten blade life and cause blade breakage.

• Check the conveyor cart condition on a regular basis. Replace the wheels and the wooden insert frequently.

• Be certain the cutting head is correctly aligned. Blade misalignment because of handling damage, or transporting the saw with the cutting head on the frame can seriously affect blade life.

• Replace noisy bearings immediately! Worn bearings will quickly destroy the blade.

• Flush clean water through the pump and spray the assembly after every job to prolong the pump and blade life.

• Diamond blades may need to be “sharpened”. Blades may be efficiently “dressed” with dressing sticks.

WARNING!

Never use fire bricks to “sharpen” or dress diamond blades!

• Abrasive blades must be a reinforced type. Never use an abrasive blade with water. These products can be damaged by operator abuse such as jamming the material into the blade. This can also be hazardous!

10. Accessories

4. Tighten the Bladeshaft Belt Tensioning Bolt (37) until the proper belt tension is achieved.

5. Re-tighten the Bladeshaft Belt Tensioning Jam Nut (34), and the six (6) Carriage Bolts (39) on the Cutting Head Assembly (28).

9. Important Advice

• When storing for an extended period of time,

use a wire brush to remove hard, caked sludge. Clean and thoroughly lubricate moving parts - so the next job the saw is ready for operation.

• Drive belts must be tight. When the belts are

loose, power is lost. Replace worn belts without delay!

• The blade must fit the arbor snugly - especially

diamond blades. Otherwise, pounding will occur and this will seriously damage the blades. If the arbor shoulder is grooved where the blade has bound in the cut as the shaft has continued to turn, the arbor must be replaced, or the blade life will be severely shortened.
