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.

CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE
CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE
Proper blade selection is a product of:
Understanding the capability of your saw
Understanding the specifications of the engine
Understanding the blade shaft speed of your saw
Understanding diamond blade operating limitations
The depth of cut required
Cutting conditions
Desired cutting performance requirements
Engine (RPM) and Surface Feet per Minute (SFPM) Speeds
This saw uses a belt drive system to propel the diamond blade. Specifically sized engine drive and blade shaft pulleys, engine (RPM) and blade diameter determine the ultimate peripheral speed (SFPM) of the diamond blade. It is important to understand the SFPM speed — For safety
and performance, it is essential that the selected diameter diamond blade be matched up to a proper SFPM. See Table 8.
Four 4030 models are available (403016, 403020, 403026,
403030), and are designed with different pulley ratio speeds to govern the blade shaft RPM output. The combination of the different diameters of the pulleys along with engine (RPM) determines this ratio that ultimately provides a RPM speed at the blade shaft (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Blade Shaft Ratios
MQ SP4030 SAW • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/22/09) — PAGE 23
CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE
Blade RPM vs. Surface Feet Per Minute (SFPM)
When choosing a blade for your cutting conditions, follow the blade manufacturer’s recommendations. Match the blade speed (blade shaft RPM) to the recommended blade surface feet per minute (SFPM). See Table 8.
WARNING
Maximum allowable blade surface feet per minute per ANSI Standard B.7.1 is 16,000 SFPM.
Verify the engine start switch is OFF before removing or installing a blade.
Tighten the 5/8" blade-mounting bolt to 125-175 ft. lbs. of torque.
RATIO SPEEDS AND BLADE GUARD SIZE
The 4030 Series offers four blade guard sizes (16", 20", 26", 30") that will accommodate most commonly used diamond blades up to a 30" (762mm). The series further offers four distinct pulley ratio set-ups that provide specific blade shaft RPM. Pairing a diamond blade diameter to a proper ratio speed and blade guard size is imperative. Additionally, matching up blade diameters with the appropriate blade guard size is equally as important. See Table 7.

SPECIFIC TOOLS / SAW BLADES
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.
SAW BLADES
WARNING — Inspect Diamond Blade
Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade (Figure
8) for operational safety could result in damage to the blade or the saw and may cause injury to the user or others in the operating area. Discard damaged or worn blades and replace with fresh blade.
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.
4. Directional Arrow — Check to ensure that the blade is oriented properly on the spindle for sawing. Reference the directional arrow on the blade and place it so the direction of rotation “downcuts” with the turn of the shaft.
5. Diamond Segment or Rim — Ensure there are no cracks, dings, or missing portions of the diamond segment/rim. DO NOT
segment or a portion of
missing segments/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.

Figure 8. Diamond Blade
1. Drive Pin Hole — A commonly located hole on the diamond 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.
2. 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.
3. 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. Check to make sure the steel core’s width is
7. Arbor Hole — It is essential that the arbor hole diameter properly matches the shaft arbor, and that it is free from distortions. Correct blade flanges (collars) must be used. The inside face of the flanges must be clean and 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 used must be designed for the maximum spindle RPM.
MQ SP4030 SAW • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/22/09) — PAGE 25
INSTALLING THE BLADE
The blade can be mounted on either side of the saw to accomodate different cutting jobs. With the proper sized blade selected, reference the following procedure to install the new blade.
Ensure the flange faces are kept clean and smooth as well as the inside diameter of the blade shaft.
Figure 10. Aligning Flange Pin Through Blade
1. Raise the saw so the blade will clear the ground when installed.
2. Remove the blade flange bolt. This bolt is LEFT-HAND thread on the RIGHT side of the saw and RIGHT-HAND thread on the LEFT side of the saw.
3. Verify the blade flanges are clean and not damaged. Pay particular attention to all holes and recesses (Figure 9).
(Standard Blade Flange System shown)
Failure to properly tighten the blade mounting bolt can result in the bolts coming loose with the blade flange potentially falling off the rotating blade shaft assembly. The blade and other parts coming loose from the saw during operation pose a high risk of serious injury or even death!

RAISE-LOWER CONTROLS
RAISE - LOWER CONTROLS
The MQ SP4030 saw uses a 24-volt motor and hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the saw. The raise-lower function is controlled by the operator through a 3-position toggle switch on the raise-lower control handle located on the operator’s control panel.
Figure 24. Raise-Lower Control Toggle Switch
1. To lower the blade, push the toggle switch located on the end of the control handle FORWARD (Figure 24).
2. To raise the blade, pull the toggle switch located on the end of the control handle BACKWARD.
SETTING THE DEPTH STOP
The SP4030 saw uses a controlled depth stop to position and set the blade at a desired cut depth (Figure 26).
Setting the Depth Indicator
Figure 26. Depth Stop
If a blade is changed for any reason, or if wear is suspected since the last time depth stop was set, you will need to reset the depth stop. If a cut at a precise depth is
necessary, it is best to make a pre-cut and MEASURE at deepest part of cut to confirm cut is at desired depth.
1. Lower the blade until it just touches the cutting surface.
2. Set the Depth Indicator dial to zero. (The depth indicator now accurately indicates how deep the blade is cutting.) See Figure 25.
Figure 25. Depth Indicator
PAGE 34 — MQ SP4030 SAW • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/22/09)
Always adhere to manufacturer’s blade speed recommendations for surface feet per minute when choosing a blade for your cutting conditions. See blade size/speed information section.

WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
The 4030 Series features a cable-controlled hydraulic powered gear motor system with infinite Forward-Neutral­Reverse (F-N-R) speed adjustment. This is controlled by the operator through the speed control handle located on the control panel. The saw is designed with a locked axle drive and can travel forward at transportation speeds up to 275 feet per minute.
A bi-directional variable displacement transmission pump powers two hydraulic wheel motors that are directly coupled to the wheels. This design provides vehicle propulsion in both forward and reverse depending on the position and direction of movement of the F-N-R control handle. The wheel drive system also provides dynamic braking action.
2. Depth Indicator Pointer
Figure 27. Indicator and Depth Control Knob
Figure 28. F-N-R Control
Refer to Figure 28.
To increase the forward speed, slowly move the control handle FORWARD.
To decrease the forward speed, pull the control handle BACKWARD.
When the control handle is in the neutral position, the saw will have neither a forward nor reverse motion.
As the control handle is passed backward through the neutral position the saw will start to move in REVERSE. Reverse speed is also controlled by the position of the control handle.

MAINTENANCE
Removal and Replacement
To ensure correct blade shaft/wheel alignment, this operation should be performed by and authorized service center.
Blade Alignment
Maintaining proper blade and drive system alignment will allow the saw to cut lines that are straight without much effort. Therefore the blade shaft flanges MUST be equadistant to the sides of the saw, (+/- .030"). See Figure 50 below where distance A must equal distance B.
The second requirement for the blade is that it MUST be square to horizontal (90o to flat surface). See Figure 50.
DRIVE SYSTEM ALIGNMENT
In addition to blade alignment, maintaining proper blade and drive system alignment will allow the saw to cut lines that are straight without much effort. Therefore the front wheels and blade shaft axles MUST be at right angles to the frame edge.
In Figure 51 you see the distance “A” on the right side is shown as “A + .187"” which means that the distance between centers of the front and rear drive axles are 3/16" longer than on the opposite side. This will have the effect of causing the saw to “steer” slightly to the left. After becoming familar with the saws particular sawing characteristics, the operator may wish to have this alignment altered to fit his own preferences or to fit a particular application.

While adjustment of the depth stop limiting bolts can change the maximum usable cut depth, they should not be adjusted to compensate for unit “wobble” or blade/cut problems. These indications are a result of other issues that should be addressed.
The saw comes factory-adjusted for maximum usable cut depth. Should this setting need to be changed, perform the following:
1. With the BLADE REMOVED, park the saw on a flat and level surface.
2. Fully lower the saw onto the depth limiting stop bolts.
3. Measure the distance from the blade flanges to the surface.
4. If adjustment is required, loosen locknut on the right­side depth limiting stop bolt (Figure 57, item 2) and screw bolt in several turns until it no longer makes contact with the axle.
5. Adjust the left-side stop bolt (item 1) in or out until the blade flange or lower belt guard achieves 1/8" to 3/16" ground clearance. Tighten lock nut on left side.
6. Raise saw and place 2 jack stands under the blade shaft housing.
7. While holding the raise-lower Switch in the Lowering position, raise the front axle assembly until it contacts the left-side depth limiting stop bolt.
8. While holding the axle firmly against the left-side depth limiting stop bolt, screw the right-side depth limiting stop bolt out until it makes contact with the axle. Tighten lock nut on right side.
Following this procedure will prevent torsional stresses being applied to the frame when fully lowered due to uneven adjustment of depth limiting stop bolts.
