SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including
silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular
process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful
effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where
possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations. Water should be used for dust
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
the materials being used.

Figure 4. Engine Controls and Components
INITIAL SERVICING-GASOLINE ENGINE
The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication and
filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturers engine
manual for instructions & details of operation and servicing.
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
7. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.
NOTE
DANGER
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when
the engine is stopped and has had an opportunity
to cool down. In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT
attempt to start the engine until the fuel residue has been completely
wiped up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.
2. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever

3. Engine ON/OFF Switch – ON position permits engine
starting, OFF position stops engine operations.
4. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull
the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and
smoothly.
5. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to stop
the flow of fuel.

8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set
spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.028 - 0.031 inch) Clean
spark plug once a month.
9. Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions
operating. NEVER operate the engine with the muffler removed.
10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.
11. Oil Drain Bolt – Drain used oil while the engine is warm.
12. Oil Level Cap and Dipstick – Check engine oil with
engine stopped and in a level position.

on the electric motor conduit box as shown in Figure 6.
WARNING
Whenever cleaning, adjusting or lubricating any part of the saw,
MAKE CERTAIN to place the power ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position and disconnect the plug from the power source.
Assembly (Electric Powered Saws Only)
1. Open the shipping container carefully, lift the saw by its carrying
handles and place it on a suitable table or platform. Make sure
the table or platform can support the weight of the saw. The
saw platform should be rigid and stationary so that it will not
move, sag, or sway due to the vibrations and movements of
the saw.
2. If using the MP1 series
attach stand to the under-side of the water tray. Follow the
instructions supplied with the support stand kit when attaching
it to the water tray.
3. Attach the clear plastic water hose (Figure 5) coming from the
blade guard to the water pump.

4. Diamond Segment or Rim - Ensure there are no cracks,
Failure to thoroughly inspect the blade for
operational safety could result in damage
to the blades or the saw and may cause
serious injury to the user or others in the
operating area. Inspect the blade flanges
and shaft for damage before installing the
blade.
SAW BLADES
Diamond blades are recommended for you saw. Ask your
MULTIQUIP dealer about your specific cutting application.
SAW BLADE DEFINITIONS (FIGURE 8)
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.
