USING THE ICS SAW SAFELY

Following are the basic instructions to assure safe use of the saw. Also read and

understand additional safety precautions specic to the operation and

maintenance of the saw throughout this manual.

DANGER

DO NOT operate the ICS saw with a saw chain or saw bar designed to cut wood. Using wood cutting saw chain on the ICS saw could result in severe injuries

to the operator or a bystander! Use ONLY the cutting attachments specied in this

manual on this saw.

WARNING

DO NOT operate the saw with damaged, modied, broken, or missing components.

Below safety features are designed to protect against contact with moving parts, ejected debris, broken chain, thrown water, and concrete slurry.

• Side cover

• Mud ap

• Mud ap bracket (Chain Catcher)

• Rear hand guard

• Throttle trigger interlock

Use only Genuine ICS replacement parts. Use of unauthorized aftermarket parts may result in injury or damage to the saw.

DO NOT insert the guidebar into a slot narrower than the width of the chain. Rapid pushback, kickback and/or chain breakage could result.

DO NOT operate the saw without an adequate water supply.

The integral water supply channels in the guidebar act to cool and lubricate the cutting system as well as to suppress dust and debris generated during cutting. Assure that the water supply is capable of delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the

saw at a minimum ow rate of 4 lpm (1 gpm).

Never attempt to cut ductile iron pipe or similar pipe materials with the saw unless using PowerGrit® Utility Saw Chain.

Using concrete saw chain in these applications can cause the chain to snag abruptly in the cut which may result in chain breakage, pushback and/or kickback.

Unpacking & Assembly

680ES OPERATOR MANUAL

CHECKING & ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION

All chains have a tendency to stretch when used. Diamond chains stretch more than wood cutting chains because of the abrasive materials they are cutting.

WARNING

Improper chain tension can lead to failure of the chain or derailing of the chain

o of the guidebar. Check chain tension frequently and adjust if drive links of chain hang 18 mm (3/4 in) or more below the guidebar.

CAUTION

Assure that proper chain tension is maintained. If tension is set too tight, it will lead to excessive chain stretch, and most of the saw’s power will be used just to overcome friction. In severe cases the chain may not turn at all, and can lead to chain breakage. If the tension is set too loose, the

chain could be thrown o of the bar, or allow the sprocket to turn without turning

the chain, which will damage the drive links.

IMPORTANT

When a chain stretches to a point where the drive links are hanging approximately 12 mm (1/2 in) to 18 mm (3/4 in) below the guidebar groove, it is time to tension the chain.

CONNECT TO WATER SUPPLY

Following are the basic instructions to assure correct water supply to the saw.

WARNING

ICS® diamond saws require a continuous water supply to the guidebar and chain. A key purpose of the supply water is dust suppression. The potential for

airborne particulates depends on many factors including, but not limited to, the material being cut, application and cutting environment. In all cases, assure that the water supply is capable of delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the saw at a

minimum ow rate of 4 lpm (1gpm).

NOTE: Local and/or regional regulation can vary widely. It is the responsibility of the operator to wear appropriate dust protection applicable in their area and suitable to the application.

Never operate saw with insucient water supply.

Insucient water supply will result in excessive wear to the chain, which can

lead to excessive stretch, chain breakage and/or damage to the guidebar nose sprocket.

Attach to water supply capable of delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the saw at a minimum flow rate of 4 lpm (1 gpm). The single most important factor an operator can control to increase chain life is to use adequate water pressure.

Fueling

680ES OPERATOR MANUAL

FUELING

Following are the basic instructions to assure safe fueling procedures.

DANGER

Fuel vapors are highly ammable.

Turn o the saw, assure that the multi-function lever is set in the “STOP” position,

and allow the engine to cool a few minutes before fueling. Do not smoke or refuel the saw in close proximity to any ignition sources. Move the saw at least 3 m (10 ft) from the fueling area before restarting it.

IMPORTANT

FUEL

ICS saws require the use of high quality, 90 Octane (95 RON) or higher fuel

combined with ICS 2-stroke oil (or other high quality 2-stroke oil) specically

formulated for aircooled power equipment at a mixture of 4% (25:1). Due to the heavy duty cycle ICS saws are subjected to in concrete cutting applications, oil mixture and fuel quality are critical to the performance and life of the engine.

ALKYLATE FUELS

Alkylate fuel (i.e. Aspen 4) is an acceptable alternative to conventional fuel when combined with ICS 2-stroke oil (or other high quality 2-stroke oil) at a mixture of 4% (25:1).

NOTE: If using Aspen alkylate fuel or similar, carburetor adjustments are not necessary or recommended.

ETHANOL BLENDED FUEL

While ICS recommends using fuel that does not contain ethanol (alcohol), it is understood that 10% Ethanol blended fuel (E10) is becoming more widespread. ICS saws are not designed to operate with fuel containing more than 10% ethanol.

NOTE: The use of Ethanol blended fuel greater than E10 will cause improper operation and will cause major engine failure. This type of fuel related failure is not covered under warranty.

This saw is certied to be in conformance with Section 213 of the Clean Air Act

by the US EPA. Failure to follow instructions on preparing the fuel and oil mixture may result in emissions violations.

Fueling

FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Pressure can build up in the fuel tank and container and possibly cause sudden release of fuel vapors when the tank is opened.

Open the fuel cap slowly and always provide adequate ventilation when handling fuel.

IMPORTANT

It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed with gasoline to assure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel,

even small inaccuracies can drastically aect the ratio of the mixture.

Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container approved for use with fuel. Keep fuel container closed tightly to prevent moisture from getting into the fuel. Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel. This helps prevent the separation of the 2-stroke oil from the gasoline (varnishing).

Before fueling, clean the area around fuel cap on the saw to prevent dirt from contaminating the fuel. Contamination of the fuel tank can lead to saw malfunction.

Always begin mixing fuel by pouring half the amount of gasoline to be prepared into the mixing container. Then add the correct amount of 2-stroke oil for 4% (25:1)

mixture and nish by adding gasoline to obtain the total quantity of mixed fuel.

Shake the fuel container to thoroughly mix the gasoline and oil before adding to the saw. The table below shows the correct quantity of two-cycle oil to be used.

FUEL MIXTURE: 4% (25:1) mixture gasoline/oil.

FUELING THE SAW

CAUTION

Do not overll the fuel tank. Should any fuel spill happen, wipe up the spillage and allow the rest to evaporate. If fuel is spilled on yourself or your clothes, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash any part of your body that has contacted fuel with soap and warm water.

Pressure can build up in the fuel tank and container and possibly cause sudden release of fuel vapors when the tank is opened.

Open the fuel cap slowly and always provide adequate ventilation when handling fuel.

After adding fuel, carefully install the fuel cap and tighten rmly by hand. Tip the

saw slightly to one side and check for leaks. Should any fuel leaks be observed, do not start the saw.

Customers are encouraged to remain consistent in the fuel option they choose for ICS saws. Alternating between options, such as going between traditional fuel to Alkylate fuel (Aspen) and back again may have negative impacts on the engine.

Operation

STARTING & STOPPING THE SAW

WARNING

Be sure that no part of the cutting system is contacting a solid object when starting the saw.

When the multifunction lever is set to the choke and/or throttle advance position for starting, the chain may move and cause the saw to react if the chain contacts a solid object.

CAUTION

Move the saw at least 3 m (10 ft) from the fueling area before starting it.

Assure that secure footing is established and chain is not contacting any objects.

When starting the saw, place the saw on clear and level ground.

IMPORTANT

Failure to break-in an engine may result in piston seizure. It is very important to break-in a new engine to “seat” all moving parts, especially the piston rings. To break-in the engine, run one full tank of 4% (25:1) fuel at idle, cycling the throttle every 5 to 10 minutes to prevent loading.

Do not obstruct air intake.

Loose clothing can inadvertently be drawn into air intake and obstruct air ow

which may result in engine stall.

STOPPING THE SAW

To turn the engine o, push the multi-function lever down until engine stops. The

multi-function lever will then remain in the “STOP” position and prevent starting. Close water valve completely.

Be sure cut concrete cannot fall and injure the operator or bystanders. Assure cut piece is controlled and does not fall unexpectedly.

NOTE: Concrete is very heavy; one cubic foot = 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm = 68 kg (12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 150 lbs).

CAUTION

Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the saw.

Always keep proper footing and operate the saw only when standing on xed,

secure and level surface.

Unexpected loss of control of the saw and loss of balance can result in injury.

Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.

Do not allow workpiece to pinch the guidebar and chain, or rapid pushback could result.

Always cut bottom of opening rst and assure workpiece is secure and does not

shift during cutting operations. Do not operate saw upside down.

Cutting debris can be directed back towards the operator.

Take special precautions when cutting in horizontal orientation.

Be aware that debris may be ejected dierently than when cutting in a vertical

position.

IMPORTANT

Always operate saw at full throttle.

For best results, always operate the saw at full power.

CUTTING WITH THE SAW

To assure the best performance from your ICS saw, follow all safety precautions and recommended techniques. Additional helpful information can be obtained at icsdiamondtools.com.

CONCRETE/MASONRY CUTTING

Planning the Cut

1. Select the proper chain type for the material being cut. Refer to the chain selection guide in this manual. See page 44.

2. Outline the cut with a permanent marker for a visual cutting guide.

3. Avoid pinching the guidebar and chain by using shims or other anchoring devices to stabilize the workpiece. Always plan to cut the bottom of an opening rst, then top or sides. Save the easiest cut for last. (see image at right)

4. Be sure cut concrete cannot fall and injure the operator or bystanders. As the cut is being completed, assure that appropriate bracing is in place to control the cut section of the workpiece. Concrete is very heavy, one cubic foot = 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm = 68 kg (12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 150 lbs)

CUTTING TIPS

• For the straightest cuts use the “Step Cut” method:

• First score the entire cut line approximately a half-inch deep using the nose of the guidebar.

• Next, deepen the cut by about two inches

• Then plunge all the way through and complete the cut using the WallWalker® as a pivot point and pull on the rear handle to rotate the bar into the cut.

• Always operate the concrete saw at full throttle. If too much force is applied, the saw will lug or stall. The chain will not have enough speed to cut

eectively. If too little feed force is applied, the diamonds will skid and glaze

over.

• Plunge cut instead of starting at the top surface of the wall. This will reduce chatter, extend diamond life, create a straighter cut and more quickly enable the use of the WallWalker.

• When cutting heavy rebar, slowly “rock” the saw so that you’re always cutting concrete as well as steel. This will help keep the diamonds exposed. Also, expect less chain life when cutting heavy rebar.

• Expect more chain stretch when making nose-buried cuts for extended

• periods of time, as the chain does not have a chance to “throw” the slurry away from the nose of the guidebar.

• If the saw begins to cut consistently crooked, stop the saw, remove the bar and chain and turn the bar over and use the other side. Dress worn rails with a belt sander.

Note: The normal life of a guidebar is two to three diamond chains. Heavy rebar can shorten guidebar life.

• The guidebar is solely a guide track for the chain. Never use the guidebar to lift, twist or pry concrete material

• When using a new chain, you can increase the initial cutting speed by “opening

up the diamonds”. This can be accomplished by rst making a few cuts in an

abrasive material such as a cinder block or brick.

680ES OPERATOR MANUAL

TRANSPORTING & STORING

WARNING

Fuel and vapors are highly ammable

When transporting or storing fuel, always use a container approved for fuel and assure it is sealed against leaks and/or escaping fumes. Contact with an ignition

source could cause re or explosion.

CAUTION

Always carry the saw by the front handle with the multi-function lever set to the “STOP” position and away from your body

When transporting the saw, assure it is secured to avoid damage and/or personal injury. Proper handling of the saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the guidebar and chain.

IMPORTANT

ICS recommends mixing fuel in small batches, to be used within 30 days. Fuel stabilizers (additives) can prolong the life of the fuel, but still should not be stored longer than 90 days.

MAINTENANCE

AFTER EACH USE

IMPORTANT

1. After cutting, pull trigger to spin the chain for at least 15 seconds with the

water on to ush slurry and debris from chain, guidebar and drive sprocket.

2. Stop saw and wash concrete slurry from saw assembly with special attention

to the starter housing and ywheel. Do not let slurry dry on saw as it will be very dicult to remove later.

3. Avoid getting any water in the carburetor or exhaust system. If water enters the

exhaust port, it can enter the carburetor. To make sure there is no water in the exhaust system, assure the multi-function lever is set to “STOP” position, point the guidebar tip down and pull the starter handle several times to expel water

from muer.

4. Remove the chain and guidebar. Flush out the chain tensioner and side cover

with water. Lubricate tensioner with waterproof grease.

5. After cleaning the saw, spray the entire saw body, chain, guidebar, and drive

sprocket with lightweight oil. Using lightweight oil on the saw will minimize rust and help reduce slurry build up.

6. Inspect and tighten all fasteners as necessary.

7. Inspect drive sprocket for wear. Replace if tooth tips are pointed, or if groove

cuts through top of tooth.

8. Check clutch cup needle bearing for wear. Assure clutch cup spins freely and

without excessive play.

9. Check starter cord for wear or damage. Replace as necessary.

10. Inspect air lter. Replace lter if dirty or wet.

11. Spray lightweight oil into the air intake slots on the starter housing and ywheel

(this will prevent the starter pawls from sticking).

AFTER EVERY 10 HOURS OF USE

1. Remove the starter cover and clean the ywheel ns and the starter pawls with

a wire brush, then apply waterproof grease to the starter pawls.

2. Remove the spark plug and clean with a wire brush. Check the electrode gap.

The correct gap is 0.5 mm (0.020 in). Replace if necessary.

AFTER EVERY 40 HOURS OF USE

Change the spark plug. Adjust the electrode to 0.5 mm (0.020 in).

AIR FILTER

The polyester air lter must be kept clean for the engine to operate properly. If the saw is not reaching full RPM, most likely the air

lter is dirty or wet.

• The air lter should be free of holes and white in color

• Replace the air lter when dirty or wet.

• When replacing the air lter, clean the area inside the air

box with a clean towel prior to installing new lter

• Inspect air box seal for wear or damage. Replace if damaged.

FUEL SYSTEM

• Clean area around fuel cap before removing.

• Check the fuel cap and seal for damage.

• Check the fuel line for damage.

• Check fuel lter, assure it is free of debris.

• Replace fuel lter if it is stained dark or clogged (fuel lter cannot be cleaned).

SPARK PLUG

• Clean the spark plug with a wire brush and check to assure the plug gap is 0.5

mm (0.020 in).

• Inspect the spark plug boot, replace if needed.

• Inspect lead wire for wear or damage. Replace if necessary (lead wire cannot

be replaced separately from ignition module).

IMPORTANT

• Replace spark plug after 40 hours of use, or if the electrode is corroded or

eroded.

• Always use a recommended spark plug (resistor type) to prevent damage to

the piston and cylinder. (NGK #BPMR8A or Champion RCJ7Y or equivalent).

CARBURETOR

• The function of the carburetor is to mix fuel with air. Adjustments other than

idle speed should only be made by an authorized service center.

• Before adjusting the engine idle speed, make

sure the air lter is clean, the engine is running,

warmed up and the guidebar and chain are assembled on the saw.

• Adjust idle screw so that the engine idles smoothly

but the clutch does not engage. If the chain begins to spin, turn the idle screw counter-clockwise until the chain stops.

• If saw has been running satisfactorily and there is a

gradual decrease in power and drop in RPM at full

throttle, the lter may have become dirty or wet. (See air lter section).

Carburetor idle screw

STARTER RECOIL HOUSING

It is common for concrete slurry to get inside the starter housing assembly during cutting. This can cause starter pawls to stick and not engage when the rope is pulled.

• After each usage, thoroughly ush the starter

housing assembly with water.

• Spray lightweight oil into the air intake slots on the

starter housing and ywheel (this will prevent the starter pawls from sticking).

• Inspect the starter cord for fraying, replace if necessary.

Clutch

Cup

Splined Adapter

Rim

Sprocket

should be replaced every two to three chains, or when the teeth become pointed or if groove cuts through top of tooth.

• Inspect the sprocket for wear.

• The needle bearing inside the splined adapter should be greased regularly and should be replaced with each new clutch cup. A rim sprocket system consists of a clutch cup w/ splined adapter and a rim sprocket. When the rim sprocket wears out, it is the only part that needs to be replaced. The clutch cup with splined adapter is a wear item that needs

replacement after 3 to 5 rim sprockets have been used.

• Check the drive sprocket bearing by spinning clutch cup. Replace the bearing if it is worn out.

DRIVE SPROCKET ASSEMBLY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

• Remove the side cover, guidebar, diamond chain, and clutch slurry shield.

• Remove the spark plug and insert the piston stop (supplied with each saw) into the spark plug hole. Pull the starter cord slowly until the piston stops. Use a 19 mm wrench to turn the clutch clockwise and remove.

• Slide the clutch cup/drive sprocket assembly off the shaft. Remove the needle bearing and inspect for heavy wear or damage.

• Slide the rim sprocket onto the splined adapter, either side out.

• Apply a liberal amount of grease to the needle bearing.

• Place the thin metal washer onto drive shaft. Slide the needle bearing and clutch cup w/rim sprocket onto shaft.

• Install the clutch by turning it counter clockwise on the drive shaft and firmly tighten. Replace the clutch slurry shield. Installation of drive sprocket assembly is now complete.

CHAINS & GUIDEBARS

IMPORTANT

Inspect chain segments and drive links for damage or excessive wear. Chains with damage or excessive wear should not be used or repaired, they should be replaced.

NOTE: Guidebars are designed to be used on both sides. If the cut is consistently leading to one side, turn the guidebar over. It is recommended to turn the guidebar over with every new chain.

• A table mounted belt or disc sander can be used to square the rails of a worn

guidebar. A badly worn guidebar can quickly damage the chain. If the chain is touching the bottom of the guidebar groove, replace the guidebar.

• Check the guidebar for straightness.

• Proper chain tension will extend guidebar life.

• Under some circumstances, especially low water pressure, the sprocket nose

can wear out before the guidebar body. Sprocket nose assemblies may be replaced by an Authorized Service Center.

• Periodically clean the water ports inside the groove of the guidebar using a

small diameter piece of wire or pipe cleaner.

• The guidebar is solely a guide track for the chain. Never use the guidebar to lift,

twist or pry concrete material.

• Prior to storage, spray the chain and guidebar with lightweight oil.
