Safety Rules
HANDLING HYDRAULIC FLUID SAFELY
Check for hydraulic leaks before starting the hydraulic power source.
Visually check for leaks from the hydraulic ttings, and lines and do not use if
any leaks are found.
Hydraulic uid is combustible or can become combustible.
Consult the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for the hydraulic uid being used for ash point and auto ignition temperature ranges. When these uids discharge under pressure in a ne mist, they ignite easily, burn rapidly, and emit large quantities of heat. In fact, their heats of combustion, which are over 18,000 BTU/lb (2327 kJ/kg), are comparable to fuel oil.
WARNING
CAUTION
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep bystanders away from work area.
Set up a well-marked safety zone with a roped boundary and clear signs to keep bystanders at least 6 m (20 ft) away.
Remove or control slurry to prevent slippery conditions while cutting. This power cutter uses water and can cause slippery surfaces due to the slurry
produced and/or freezing temperatures.
Drugs or alcohol can impair vision, dexterity, and judgment.
Do not operate the power cutter when tired or under the inuence of any substance.
WARNING
CAUTION
Following are the basic instructions for work area safety.
Do not operate this product during severe inclement weather.

CHECKING & ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION
Unpacking & Assembly
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.
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.
A tight chain may rob power reducing cutting performance and increasing
chain friction, resulting in chain stretch. 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
WARNING
Improper chain tension can lead to breakage 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.
CONNECTING TO HYDRAULIC SUPPLY
Assure hydraulic hoses are connected to power cutter with the proper ow direction. The chain should travel away from the operator on the top of the bar and return on the bottom of the bar. If hydraulic motor does not turn when trigger is depressed, this may be an indication that the hydraulic ow direction
is likely reversed. Refer to diagram on page 13 for more details.

CONNECT TO WATER SUPPLY
Following are the basic instructions for correct water supply to the
power cutter.
Inadequate water can result in increased potential for harmful airborne particulates.
ICS® power cutters require a continuous water supply to the guidebar and chain for the key purposes of cooling, lubrication and dust suppression. The potential for airborne particulates depends on many factors including, but not limited to, the material being cut, application and cutting environment.
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.
Insucient water supply will result in excessive chain stretch and may
cause chain breakage, damage to the guidebar, nose sprocket and drive sprocket.
Never operate the power cutter with insucient water supply. In all cases, assure that the water supply is delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the power cutter at a minimum ow rate of 4 lpm (1gpm).
CAUTION
Attach to water supply capable of delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the power cutter 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.

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.
When the WallWalker is extended in the mechanical mode, the Wall Walker provides a 4:1 mechanical advantage.
Always operate the concrete power cutter at full throttle. If too much force is applied, the power cutter 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 power cutter 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 extende periods of time, as the chain does not have a chance to “throw” the slurry away from the nose of the guidebar (use step cut method).
If the power cutter begins to cut consistently crooked, stop the power cutter, remove the bar and chain and turn the bar over and use the other side. Dress worn rails with a belt sander, at le or bar rail dresser.
Note: The normal life of a guidebar is two to three diamond chains (with rotation after every chain). 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.

PIPE CUTTING USING POWERGRIT® UTILITY CHAIN
To assure the best performance from your ICS® power cutter when cutting
ductile iron pipe or similar pipe materials, follow all safety precautions and rec­ommended cutting techniques.
Never attempt to cut ductile iron pipe or similar pipe materials with the power cutter unless using PowerGrit® Utility Chain.
Using concrete diamond chain in these applications can cause the chain to snag abruptly in the cut which may result in chain breakage, pushback and/or kickback.
Always assure that pipe is properly evacuated before cutting.
Pipes may contain sewage, gas or other hazardous materials.
Always support the pipe on both sides of the cut to assure the cut remains
open throughout the cutting operation, including when the cut is nished.
An improperly supported pipe can cause the cut to close, pinching the chain and guidebar which may result in chain breakage, pushback and/or kickback.
WARNING
1. Make a small plunge cut into the lower quadrant
of the pipe to relieve internal pressure and allow contents to drain from pipe in a controlled manner.
2. With pipe drained, cut from the top of pipe and continue through bottom of the pipe.
4. To assist with cutting, engage the WallWalker® in the cut when possible to provide additional leverage and alternate cutting between the near
and far side walls of the pipe.
3. To assure straightness of cut, guidebar should extend completely through the pipe during the cut.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
Maintenance
SYSTEM CLEAN-UP
After cutting, run the power cutter for at least 15 seconds with the water on to flush slurry and debris from diamond chain, guidebar and drive sprocket.
Wash concrete slurry and debris from power cutter assembly.
Remove guidebar and chain. Flush out the chain tensioner and side cover with water. Lubricate tensioner with waterproof grease.
After cleaning the power cutter, spray the entire power cutter body, chain, guidebar, and drive sprocket with lightweight oil. Using lightweight oil on the power cutter will minimize rust and help reduce slurry build up.
AFTER EACH USE
Inspect drive sprocket for wear
Inspect and tighten all fasteners as necessary.
Flush and rinse the power cutter, guidebar and chain with water
Check trigger function assembly
Check mud ap for tears or damage
Check guidebar and chain for damage or missing segments
Check trigger cover bubble levels
With power cutter disconnected from power source, check hose whips for leaks or damage.
Inspect drive sprocket for wear.
• Replace when the drive teeth are worn more than half way through.

Maintenance
DRIVE SPROCKET
The drive sprocket is a wear item and
should be replaced every two to three chains, or when the teeth become pointed
or if a groove cuts through top of tooth.
Inspect the sprocket for wear.
Inspect drive shaft for wear.
DRIVE SPROCKET ASSEMBLY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
Disconnect power cutter from the power source
Remove the side cover, bar retainer plate,
guidebar and diamond chain
Remove snap ring from shaft
Slide drive sprocket off shaft
Slide new sprocket onto shaft
Replace snap ring onto shaft and assure complete engagement in shaft groove
Installation of new drive sprocket is complete.
Reinstall guidebar, diamond chain, bar retainer plate and side cover.
Assure diamond chain and guidebar are in good, useable condition. Worn
or damaged guidebar and chain can damage the new drive sprocket.

Maintenance
CHAINS & GUIDEBARS
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, disc sander, at le or bar rail dressercan 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.
IMPORTANT
Chain Tensioner
CHAIN TENSIONER
The chain tensioner can become clogged with concrete slurry during cutting.
After each use thoroughly ush the chain tensioner with water and apply a liberal amount of waterproof grease covering the chain tensioner screw.
