carbon monoxide. This gas is colorless and
odorless, and can cause death if inhaled.
NEVER operate this equipment in a confined
area or enclosed structure that does not
provide ample free flow air.
Explosive Fuel
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its
vapors can cause an explosion if ignited. DO
NOT start the engine near spilled fuel or
combustible fluids. DO NOT fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot. DO NOT
overfill tank, since spilled fuel could ignite if it
comes into contact with hot engine parts or
sparks from the ignition system. Store fuel in
approved containers, in well-ventilated areas
and away from sparks and flames. NEVER
use fuel as a cleaning agent.

Diamond Blade Safety
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
Saw Transportation Safety
■
■
■
■
Use appropriate steel centered diamond blades
manufactured for use on concrete saws.
WARNING
ALWAYS inspect diamond blades before each use. The
blade should exhibit no cracks,
dings, or flaws in the steel
centered core and/or rim. Center
(arbor) hole must be undamaged
and true.
Examine blade flanges for
damage, excessive wear and
cleanliness before mounting
blade. Blade should fit snugly on the shaft and against the
inside/outside blade flanges.
Ensure the blade is marked with an operating speed greater
than the blade shaft speed of the saw.
Only cut the material that is specified by the diamond blade.
Read the specifications of the diamond blade to ensure the
proper tool has been matched to the material being cut.
ALWAYS keep blade guards in place. Exposure of the
diamond blade must not exceed 180 degrees.
Ensure that the diamond blade does not come into contact
with the ground or surface during transportation. DO NOT
drop the diamond blade on ground or surface.
The engine governor is designed to permit maximum
engine speed in a no-load condition. Speeds that exceed
this limit may cause the diamond blade to exceed the
maximum safe allowable speed.
Ensure that the blade is mounted correctly for proper
operation.
NEVER transport the saw with the blade mounted.
ALWAYS use caution when

Figure 2. HS62A Cut-off Saw Components 1
Figures 2 and 3 shows the location of the basic controls or
components for the Multiquip Model HS62A Cut-off Saw. Listed
below is a brief explanation of each control or component.
1. Air Filter – Prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine
air intake. Check filter periodically and keep cleaned or
replace when necessary. NEVER run engine with a dirty
air filter.
2. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions. NEVER!
touch muffler when engine is running. Allow engine to cool
down. This component gets extremely hot!
3. Guard Adjustmet Knob – Allows for the adjustment of
the blade guard. Turn this knob clockwise to tighten,
counter-clockwise to loosen.
4. Pulley Lock Pin Hole – Insert a phillips head screw driver
or similar tool into this hole to prevent the pulley from rotating.
5. V-belt Tensioning Cam – Allows for the adjustment of the
V-belt. To tighten V-belt turn clockwise, to slacken turn
counterclockwise.

7. Roller Wheel – Allows for easy free movement of the saw
when cutting on a flat surface.
8. V-belt Cover (Clutch) – Unscrew these 2 nuts to remove
the clutch V-belt cover. NEVER operate the saw with this
cover removed. It may be necessary to remove the pulley
cover first before this cover can be removed.
9. Decompression Valve – Push inward when starting
engine.
10. Choke Lever – Used in the starting of a cold engine, or in
cold weather conditions. The choke enriches the fuel
mixture.
11. Rear Handle – When starting engine, place right foot onto
rear handle base. For normal operation always place one
hand on the rear handle and the other hand on the upper
handle. Always use two hands when operating the saw.

HS62A CUT-OFF SAW — BLADES
PREPARATION / PRE-INSPECTION
1. Read and fully understand this manual,
the safety instructions in particular, and
the engine manufacturer's manual
supplied with the saw.
2. Select the correct blade for each application. If abrasive
blades are used, MAKE CERTAIN they are designed for
use on a concrete floor saw. They must be reinforced and
have a hole for the driving pin. When wet cutting with an
abrasive blade, MAKE CERTAIN the blade is intended for
wet cutting. Water will destroy a dry cut abrasive blade.
Some diamond blades require water cooling and failure to
do so will destroy them almost immediately. Other diamond
blades can be used with or without water.
3. Handle all blades with care and NEVER use a damaged
blade. NEVER use an abrasive blade that has been
dropped.
BLADES
Saw blades, or cutting disks, are available in either an abrasive
design or as diamond blades. Either blade will work on the
HS62A CUT-OFF SAW , however, diamond blades are recommended.
Ask your dealer about your specific cutting application.
SAW BLADE INSPECTION
WARNING
Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond
blade (Figure 12) for operational safety
could result in damage to the blades or
the saw and may cause injury to the user
or others in the operating area.
1. Stress Relief Holes (Gullets) - Check the steel core for
cracks that may have propagated from the slots and/or
gullets. Cracks indicate extreme fatigue failure and if sawing
continues, catastrophic failure will occur.
2. Edge of the Steel Core - Check the diameter edge for
discoloration (blue oxidation) indicating an overheating
condition caused by insufficient cooling water/air.
Overheating of blades may lead to loss of core tension and/
or increase the possibility for blade failure. Make sure the
steel core's width is uniform about the rim of the blade, and
not succumbing to an "under-cutting" condition brought
about by highly abrasive material or improper under-cutting
core protection
3. Directional Arrow - Ensure that the blade is oriented
properly on the blade shaft for sawing. Reference the
directional arrow on the blade and place it so the direction
of rotation "downcuts" with the turn of the shaft.
4. Diamond Segment or Rim - Ensure there are no cracks,
dings, or missing portions of the diamond segment/rim. DO
NOT

cause damage to your saw or injury to the user or others in
the operating area.
5. Specifications - Ensure that the blade specifications, size,
and diameter properly match up to sawing operations.
Utilizing a blade not matched properly to the task may result
in poor performance and/or blade damage.
6. Arbor Hole - It is essential that the arbor hole diameter
properly matches the blade, and that it is free from distortion.
Correct blade flanges (collars) must be used. The inside
face of the flanges must be clean and free of debris. An outof-round arbor condition will cause damage to the blade
and the saw.
7. MAX RPM - This RPM reference is the maximum safe
operating speed for the blade selected. NEVER exceed the
max RPM on the diamond blade. Exceeding the maximum
RPM is dangerous and may cause poor performance and
may damage the blade.
