MQ SP2 CE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION
Intended Use
Operate the SP2 CE Saw, tools and components in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools for
stated operation is considered contrary to designated use. The
risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damages as a result of misuse.
This saw is not intended for dry cutting.
Power Plants
The SP2 CE saw is classified in the industry as a "low to medium"
powered saw. This classification is particularly useful when selecting
the proper diamond blade for an application.
There are two gasoline engines used with the SP2 CE series
saws: A
single cylinder, OVH rated at 3600 RPM and a
GX620TXF2
General Information
The MQ Whiteman SP2 CE series
for
wet
cutting of
These saws have been engineered for general and industrial
flat sawing applications.The reinforced steel box frame design
adds strength necessary to reduce blade vibrations while cutting.
By minimizing blade vibrations the performance of the blade is
enhanced and thus the life of the blade is extended.
Heavy-duty front and rear axles, sturdy oversized wheels, and
industrial undercarriage assembly ensure accurate tracking and
years of reliable use.
Additionally, the general strength-to-weight ratio design of the
frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum weight
distribution to keep the blade running true in the cut. A rugged
spindle bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter and shaft
harmonics providing the most advantageous condition for a
diamond blade at operating speeds.
The SP2 CE series saw comes equipped with a 20-inch blade
guard and handles Diamond Blades™ ranging in size from 12-20inches in diameter.
A threaded, manual raise/lower assembly easily raises and lowers
the blade and locks it into position to ensure a constant depth cut. All
SP2 CE series saws are equipped with a retractable cutting guide,
oversized roller bearing wheels, industrial spindle bearings, and a
rigid steel frame.

connecting to the output shaft of the engine to an upper drive
pulley. The lower drive pulley (Blade) is then connected to the
upper drive pulley (Engine) by three V-belts. As the engine shaft
rotates, so does the blade.
Refer to the
regarding engine operation and maintenance practices.
All MQ Whiteman SP2 CE series saws are designed,
engineered and manufactured with strict adherence to
American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) guidelines
B7.1 and B7.5.
Water System
All SP2 CE series saws provide a hardy water plumbing system
that evenly distributes water volume and optimum flow rate to
both sides of the blade to keep it cool when cutting. The basic
water system provides a valve that connects to a standard garden
hose. The water is delivered (via a hose) to the saw blade. A water
tank delivery system is optional.

SPECIFIC TOOLS TO BE USED
This saw is to use tools (blades) as follows:
Steel Core Segmented or Continuous Diamond Rim
Cutting Wheel.
Any other type of tool is not to be used. See Table 4 for specific
blade usage for material.
WARNINGWARNING
WARNING
WARNINGWARNING
Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade (Figure 11)
for operational safety could result in damage to the blade,
the saw, and may cause injury to the user or others in the
operating area. All damaged blades must be discarded.
1.Drive Pin Hole – A commonly located hole on the diamond
2.Stress Relief Holes (Gullets) –
3.Edge Of The Steel Core – Check the diameter edge for
4.Directional Arrow – Check to ensure that the blade is
blade core that prevents operational blade slippage
between the inner & outer blade flanges (collars). Inspect
the diameter of the hole to ensure there is no distortion,
and that a snug fit develops between the hole and drive
pin.
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.

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. Check to
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.

rims may cause damage to your saw, and injury to the user
or others in the operating area.
6.Specifications – Ensure that the blade specifications, size,
and diameter properly match up to the sawing operation.
Wet blades must have water to act as a coolant. Utilizing a
diamond blade not matched properly to the task may result
in poor performance and/or blade damage.
7.Arbor Hole – It is essential that the arbor hole diameter
properly matches the blade, and that it is free from
distortions. Correct blade flanges (collars) must be used.
The inside face of the flanges must be clean & free of debris.
An out of round arbor condition will cause damage to the
blade and the saw.
8.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 MAX
RPM is dangerous, and may cause poor performance and
may damage the blade. All blades must be designed to
meet or exceed the maximum spindle RPM.
