SILICOSIS /RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
WARNING
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry,concrete,metaland
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.
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry,concrete,metaland
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.

General Safety Warnings
Most accidents involving product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to
observe basic safety rules and precautions. Accidents can often be avoided by recognizing
potentially hazardous situations before an incident occurs.
WARNING
Before operating the saw, make sure all protective guards are securely
in place. All saws are supplied with a blade guard, collar guard and belt
guard.
Whenever necessary, replace operation and safety decals if they
become difficult to read
Verify the engine start switch is set to the OFF position before installing
a blade.
Make sure the operator knows how to turn the engine OFF in case of
an emergency.
Do not go near rotating parts (blades, belts, pulleys or wheels) while
engine is running.
Muffler and exhaust gases are extremely hot. Stay clear of muffler and
exhaust gases. Allow these parts to cool before servicing the saw.
Stay clear of the saw while it is being hoisted.
Anytime the saw is lifted onto its nose, or tilted fully back, for
maintenance access, the high end MUST be blocked up to prevent the
possibility of crush injury!
Allow the engine to cool before adding fuel or performing service and
maintenance functions. Contact with HOT components can cause
serious burns.
Never operate the saw in any enclosed or narrow area where free flow
of air is restricted. If the airflow is restricted it will cause serious
damage to the saw’s engine and may cause injury to people.
Remember the saw’s engine gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area; away from sparks and open
flame. Avoid “topping off” the filler port as spills can result.
ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.
When refueling, STOP the engine and allow it to cool.
NEVER smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion could
result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a HOT engine.
NEVER operate the saw in an explosive atmosphere where fumes are
present or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could
result causing severe bodily harm or even death.
NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
MQ SP-3035 CONCRETE SAW — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #3 (09/29/06) — PAGE 11
General Safety Warnings
WARNING
ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in the Operator’s

Be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety precautions and
operating techniques before using the saw.
Make sure the operating area is clear before starting the engine.
Maintain this equipment in a safe operating condition at all times
Keep the saw clean. It will work better and last longer
Use proper blades and follow the blade manufacturer’s
recommendations. Match blade rpm (Spindle rpm) to recommended
blade surface feet per minute (SFPM).
Tighten the 5/8” blade-mounting bolt to 100-125 foot-lbs. torque.
Turn engine OFF prior to fueling the saw!
Start engine with the joystick in NEUTRAL to prevent unexpected saw
movement.
Do not leave saw unattended while engine is running.
Do not start engine on a sloping surface to prevent unexpected loss of
control.
Do not park or leave saw unattended on a slope - the saw can roll when
the engine is OFF. Block the unit when leaving.
If the saw must be parked on a slope, turn it across the angle of the
slope, to prevent accidental downhill movement.
Prior Always store equipment properly when not being used. Equipment
should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children.
When storing the saw in freezing weather, blow out water lines to
prevent damage to components in the water delivery system.
Prior to service, level the frame surface.
Do not over tighten the Spindle drive belt
Turn on water flow prior to starting the engine, to prevent damage to the
impeller of a belt-driven water pump.
Don’t pollute! Waste oils and other chemicals must be disposed of in a
MQ SP-3035 CONCRETE SAW
manner consistent with local and state environmental protection
regulations.
MQ SP-3035 CONCRETE SAW — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #3 (09/29/06) — PAGE 12
BLADE SAFETY
MQ SP-3035 CONCRETE SAW
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
of the saw.
Only cut the material that is specified by the blade.
Read the specifications of the blade to ensure the
proper tool has been matched to the material being
cut.
ALWAYS keep blade guards in place. Exposure of
the blade must not exceed 180 degrees.
Ensure that the blade does not come into contact
with the ground or surface during transportation. DO
NOT drop the blade on the 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 blade to exceed the
maximum safe allowable speed.
Ensure that the blade is mounted for proper
operating direction.
MQ SP-3035 CONCRETE SAW — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #3 (09/29/06) — PAGE 13
MQ SP-3035 CONCRETE SAW

movement of the saw.
DO NOT use the handle bars and/or front pointer as lifting
points.
NEVER attempt to tow the untrailered saw behind a vehicle.
NEVER transport the saw with the blade mounted.
EMERGENCIES
WARNING
ALWAYS know the location of the
nearest fire extinguisher.
ALWAYS know the location of the
nearest first aid kit.
In emergencies always know the
location of the nearest phone or

Stacking Blades for Wide Cuts
WARNING
Remain Clear of all parts of saw while installing blade to
prevent crush injury or death.
Verify the engine start switch is OFF before installing
blade.
Tighten the 5/8” blade-mounting bolt to 100-125 footpounds torque.
Combining (stacking) blades to make wide cuts requires an optional Bushing Extension Kit.
Kit #18502 allows blade stacking from .375” to .75” thickness.
Kit #18501 allows blade stacking from .75” to 1.125” thickness.
1. Ensure on/off switch is off. See Fig. 5 or Fig. 15
2. Remove the existing blade. See Removing the Blade Fig. 7
3. Replace the standard Flange Bushing, Flange Pin, and Mounting Bolt that came with the saw
with the longer Bolt, Pin and Bushing which comes with the Kit.
4. Insert the Bushing and Mounting Bolt through the Outer Flange and Blades. The longer
bushing and bolt allow blades to be stacked together.
5. Align the Flange Pin through the stack of Blades into the Inner Flange.
6. Tighten the 5/8” Mounting Bolt to 100-125 foot-pounds of torque.
7. Install blade guard.

Removing the Blade Guard
During use, the Blade Guard can become tight on the tapered mounting tab. To loosen it, wiggle
the Rear Blade Guard Handle up and down, while lifting with the Top Handle.
Blade Guard Water Supply
Verify that the water hose on the saw is connected to the Blade Guard and that the water pipes are
pointed into both Blade Collars.
Make sure that the outlets of the water tubes point toward the lower
NOTE
portion of the blade collars, aimed at the delivery ports, for proper
water delivery to the blade.

Water Supply and Control
MQ SP-3035 CONCRETE SAW
WARNING
To prevent damage to the impeller of a belt driven water pump, do
not run the engine with the water pump switch on, unless the water
supply is connected and water is flowing.
When storing the saw during freezing weather, blow out the water
lines to prevent damage to the water delivery system.
Connect the job water hose to the water inlet fitting on the left side of the saw.
Verify that the water hose on the saw is connected to the Blade Guard and that the water delivery
tubes are pointed into both lower Blade Flanges.
The yellow lever on the control panel regulates water flow volume.
If the saw is equipped with an optional water pump, the ON/OFF switch is on the control panel
next to the water flow control valve.
Because of the water delivery efficiency of the 24-port blade flanges,
NOTE
these saws use less water for blade cooling and flushing than other
saws.

Handlebars
The handlebars are adjustable to three different angles, for optimum operator control, and can
also be slid fully inward for storage. Once handlebars are adjusted, lock them into position by
tightening the lock knob on each side.
Using the handlebars in position #2 or #3, when employing larger diameter blades reduces the
need to bend over and the effort required by the operator to maneuver the unit.
