I. PREPARATION

A. Safety Precautions

Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed.

Hazard Symbols

Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if

ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers; in
well ventilated; unoccupied areas approved; and away

engine near spilled fuel. Never use the fuel as a cleaning agent

Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the
engine is running or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate
the engine with any heat shields or guards removed.

Keep all guard in place when operating any piece of equipment

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts

Lethal Exhaust Gas: use only in well ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide which is
odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling
exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or
confined area

Never tamper with the governor components of settings to increase
the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the
engine or equipment or equipment can result if operated at speed
above maximum. Always obey the maximum speed rating of blade.

from sparks or flames. Do not fill the saw fuel tank
while the engine is hot or running. Do not start the

DO NOT LIFT THE SAW BY THE HANDLE BARS

Dust and Silica 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 and make certain to comply with all
product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the material
being cut. 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 manufacturer/supplier,
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 through engineering controls such
as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator and any bystanders should always wear
a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut.

A. Safety Precautions

1. Before mounting any blade on the saw: the blade should be inspected for
any damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or
previous use.

2. The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for damage
before mounting the blade.

3. The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the
outside collar projecting through the drive pin hole on the blade and
inside collar.

4. The blade shaft bolt which is a left hand thread bolt on the operator’s right

hand side and right hand thread on the operator’s left hand side must be
tightened securely against the outside blade shaft collar.

5. The blade must be operated within the specified maximum operating speed
listed on the blade.

6. Turn water control valve to full to provide adequate coolant (5 to 8 gallons
per minute) for diamond blades and wet cutting abrasive blades.
Insufficient coolant could result in severe blade breakage or diamond
segment separation.

7. The blade guard must be in place with the nose guard down and locked

when the saw is running.

8. The operator should wear safety glasses and any other appropriate safety
equipment.

9. When starting the saw, the operator should stand away and to the side of
the blade.

10. If for any reason the saw should stall in the cut, raise the blade out of the

cut. Check the outside blade shaft collar and nut for tightness. Inspect
the blade for damage before restarting the saw. Use caution when
resuming a cut. Be certain that the blade is in alignment with the
previous cut.

11. During cutting operations do not exert excess side pressure on the

handles as a method of steering. Do not force the blade into the cut by
lowering the blade too fast or by pushing the saw too fast.

come in contact with the body. Before disposing of the container, empty
and rinse thoroughly with water.

6. Attach the Red Battery Cable to the Positive Battery Terminal and attach
the Black Battery Cable to the Negative Battery Terminal.

7. Reattach the Rear Console Cover.

8. Make sure the hydraulic pump is filled with fluid (See section on hydraulic
pumps).

9. Check the engine oil. The engine has been filled with oil and test run at the
factory and should not require the addition of oil. Oil capacity of crankcase
is 6.4 U.S. quarts (6.1 liters).

10. Fill the fuel tank with Diesel fuel. NOTE: Units are shipped with out fuel.

11. Attach the Muffler and Muffler Retaining Clamp.

Read and understand the remaining sections of this Owners Manual.
NOTE: Do not install the blade until it is time to use the saw. ANSI
regulations prohibit the transportation of any concrete saw with the
blade installed.

The electrolyte should be added to the battery in an area
where running water is quickly available for rinsing, should it

D. Water Supply

Pressurized source: Turn the water control to full "ON" when using wet

cutting blades. The required flow rate is 5 to 8 gallons per minute.
Optional Water Pump: The optional water pump is centrifugal pump

designed to boost the flow rate of the water. In order for the optional water
pump to work correctly the system requires a pressurized water source or
the water source must be above the pump. The optional water pump will
not draw water from a supply tank. The part number for the optional water
pump kit is 237243.

1. Centrifugal pumps have a single rotating impeller. Liquid enters at the
center and is thrown outward radically by the centrifugal force. The impeller
is not in contact with other parts resulting in quiet efficient pumping action.
This pump is not self priming. It must be located below the liquid level so
liquid will flow to it by gravity. Air traps in piping must be avoided. Avoid
down loops where air can be trapped.

2. Excessive system pressure above 15 P.S.I. is not recommended as he
seal could be forced out of the pump housing. If water is to be pumped to
the saw; always place an inline shut-off valve in front of the water pump.

3. Replacement Water Pump Seal Kit: Part Number 107523

E. Operating the Saw

Before beginning inspect the work area, machine, and blade for problems or
hazards. Some areas may have underground utilities (water, gas lines, or
electrical lines) located and mark all utilities before beginning. Do not run this
machine or any internal combustion engine indoors or underground with out
proper ventilation and a proper exhaust system for indoors or underground
usage. The machine is not supplied with the proper exhaust for indoors or
underground usage.

Never saw deeper than 4” per pass as deeper passes will shorten the
blade life and places higher stresses on the saw. Never twist, rotate, or
bend the blade while in the cut. Do not attempt to cut in a circle or arc as
the blade may be damaged.

11. Transmission Engage/Disengage lever by fully to the engage position and
slowly push the Forward/Reverse Lever forward until the desired speed is
reached. NOTE: The further the Forward/Reverse Lever is moved the
faster the machine will move in that direction. If the engine begins to stall
or the saw raises out of the cut slow the forward speed down!! The further
the lever is pushed the fast the saw will move.

12. When the end of the cut is reached, raise the blade out of the cut by moving
the Raise/Lower Switch to the rear of the machine until the blade is at least
one (1) inch above the ground.

13. To use reverse, move the saw move the Speed Control lever to the rear of
the saw. Only move the saw in reverse with the blade in the raise position.
Always place the speed control back in the neutral position after moving
the saw.

14. When moving the saw to a new location be sure that the blade is not
touching the ground and always pay close attention to where you are
moving and where the blade is at all times.

14. When the next cut is reached, align the saw with the cut and lower the
blade into the concrete. Push the control lever forward until the lever aligns
with the same location used to make the previous cut.

15. To disengage the transmission, place the Speed Control in the Neutral
position and then slide the Transmission Engage/Disengage lever by fully
to the “Disengage” position.

Caution: Do Not Engage Or Disengage The
Transmission While The Machine Is In The
Forward Or Reverse Positions!

F. Cutting Technique

The machine is equipped with Depth Gauge and a Depth Stop to help with the
sawing process.

Depth Gauge

The Depth Gauge shows the depth of cut in inches and centimeters. Each time
the blade is changed the Depth Gauge must be reset.

To set the Depth Gauge:

1. Do Not Start the Engine.

2. Insure that the Water Flow Control valve is off.

3. Slowly lower the machine with the Raise/Lower Switch by moving it
towards the front of the machine until the blade touches the work
surface.

4. Rotate the Depth Gauge Indicator to Zero (0)

5. Raise the Blade off the work surface by moving the Raise/Lower
Switch towards the rear of the machine.

Now the Depth Gauge is reset and will read properly for the blade in stalled on
the machine.

Depth Lock
The Depth Lock allows the operator to set the cutting depth. When the Depth

Lock is used the machine will not lower below the operator preset depth of cut.

To set the Depth Lock:

1. Follow the instructions in sections D. Operating the Saw pages 9 to
21 and E. Cutting Technique subsection Depth Gauge page 22.

2. When the desired depth of cut is reached rotate the Depth Stop Knob
clockwise unit it can not be rotated any more. The Depth Stop is now
set. A cut will be at this preset depth until the Depth Stop is
disengaged by rotating the Depth Stop Knob counter clockwise until it
can not be rotated any more.

For example: If the Depth Stop is preset by the operator to 3” the machine
will not lower more than 3” below the work surface until the Depth Stop is
disengaged.

If the machine will not lower, the Depth Stop has
been set. Rotate the Depth Stop Knob counter
clockwise to disengage the Depth Stop.

xx). Do not force the blade in to the cut!! Step Cutting provides the best
performance (fastest cut and longest blade life). Never saw deeper than 4” per
pass as deeper passes will shorten the blade life and places higher stresses on
the saw. Never twist, rotate, or bend the blade while in the cut. Do not attempt
to cut in a circle or arc as the blade may be damaged.

Step Cutting

1. Follow general instructions outlined in the section D. Operating the Saw
pages 9 to 20.

2. When deep sawing (more than 4”) or concrete with hard aggregate, sawing

to full depth in several cuts should be made in incremental steps of 1-1/2 to 2
inches until the desired depth of cut is reached. In softer aggregates or
asphalt, it may be possible to saw full depth in two passes.

3. Gradually move the speed control lever forward to increase the cutting

speed. If the blade stalls in the cut (which can happen when deep sawing)
immediately raise blade from cut using the button on the top of the speed
control lever. If not done at once, the belts will spin freely and burn. Check
belts for proper tension and continue sawing at a slower rate of speed.

4. On final pass, lower the blade until it hits the sub-base (sandy color will

appear in the water being discharged from the cut). Raise blade
approximately 1/2" from bottom. The sand and gravel particles of the sub­base may cause premature wear or damage to the saw blade.

It is common, on the final pass of the cut, for pavement to wedge blade,
particularly on a hot day. When this happens, immediately stop engine. If the
blade is wedged, remove the Blade Shaft Bolt and Outside Collar and move the
saw away from the blade. To remove a wedged blade from the concrete, use a
jack hammer and carefully chip out concrete around the blade. (Pounding or
twisting the blade may cause severe damage).

6. Go slowly with a new blade until it "opens up" that is, until you can see and

feel the diamonds.

7. If saw leads off excessively, adjustment can be made on the left side of the

rear axle (see section F. Lead Off Adjustment on page 26 of this manual).
Small corrections can be made by leaning on handles.

8. Deep sawing is very hard on saws and blades. Experienced operators soon
get a "feel" for the saw and are constantly on guard to slow down when they
hit excessive steel or hard aggregate.

25

Never operate saw with nose guard up.

Never stand directly in front or in back of blade, either in or
out of the cut.

Never operate the saw without the blade guard and blade
guard retaining pin in proper position.

Use the Pointers as a guide.

Never exert side press or twist the blade in the cut. Damage
to the blade will occur.

If the saw begins to stall, retard the forward movement until
full rpm is restored to the blade. If the saw stalls, raise the
blade out of the cut before restarting.

Additional Guide Lines for Sawing:

• Understand and follow all of the instruction in this owner’s manual.

• If wet cutting, turn on the water supply so that there is a 5 to 8 gallons per

minute of water flow!!

• In critically hard aggregate more than a single pass may be needed to cut
the desired depth.

• Only move the Engage/Disengage Lever while the transmission speed
control is in the neutral position.

• Move the transmission speed control slowly.

26

• If the saw stalls in the cut, immediately stop the forward speed and raise the
blade out of the cut. If this is not done the belts can fail or the blade may be
damaged.

• Go slowly with a new blade until it opens up, that is, until the diamonds can
be seen and felt.

• If the saw leads off excessively small steering corrections may be made by
applying slight pressure to the right or left side of the handle bar. The drive
rollers will need to be cleaned from time to time. From time to time the Lead
Off Adjustment may need alteration fine-tuning see section F. Lead Off
Adjustment on page 26 to 27.

F. Lead Off Adjustment

1. Lead off is the term used to refer to procedure used to account for the off

sawing which occurs when cutting with diamond or abrasive blades. The
correction procedure involves the alignment of either the front or rear axle so
that the natural paths of the machine follows straight line while the blade is in
the cut. Several factors affect lead off adjustment on concrete saws. Some of
the most common factors are: surface texture, segment width, concrete
(cured vs. green), steel center thickness, aggregate hardness, blade style,
shaft RPM, cutting rate. The machines are preset from the factory with a
Lead Off at 1 foot (305mm) in 25 feet (762cm) to the operators Left.

2. To adjust the lead off on the Model C61xx concrete saw a bolt with a 1/2"

Hex Head Bolt located on the lower left corner of the rear cowl has been
provided. Turning the bolt to the right moves the left rear bearing backward
causing the machine to veer to the right. Turning the Lead Off Adjustment
Bolt to the left results in the saw veering to the left side. (Note all directional
references are made from the operator’s position).

3. Should a situation occur where turning the lead off bolt results in no

adjustment, the following procedure is required.
a) Place the left rear bearing in the middle of the adjustment range.

b) Loosen the right bearing and align the rear axle so that it rests parallel to

the back of the saw. (Note it is not necessary to remove the hardware;
simply loosen the bolts on the right rear bearing and tap the bearing
forward or backward until the rear axle is parallel.)

c) With the axle parallel re tighten the bolts on the right rear bearing and use

the lead off bolt to adjust the tracking as before.

4. The lead off on the Model C61xx concrete saw has been set at the factory.

The guards on these machines can be readily used on the Operator’s Right

27

hand side. If the blade is to be used on the Operator’s Left hand side the
lead off will need to be reset. A good starting point is to set the lead off to 1
foot (305mm) movement to the opposite side of the blade in 25 feet (762cm)
of forward movement of the saw.

Warning: Adjustments to the lead off should be made in very small increments.
Radical adjustments and/or attempting to steer with the lead off bolt will destroy
blades and bearings, voiding blade and equipment warranties.
