SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• The cutoff saw is designed to provide safe and de-
pendable service if operated according to instructions. Read and understand this manual and any
decals attached to the saw before operating. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
• New operators must start in a work area without by-
standers. He/she must be familiar with all prohibited
work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
• When using tools around energized transmission
lines, be sure to use only hoses labeled and certi-
ed non-conductive and follow all safety practices.
• Know the location of buried or covered services be-
fore starting your work.
• Do not inspect or clean the tool with the power
source operating or with operating pressure at the
tool. Accidental engagement of the tool can cause
serious injury.
• Never wear loose clothing that can get entangled in
the working end of the tool.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
• Always connect hoses to the tool hose couplers be-
fore energizing the power source. Be sure that all
hose connections are tight.
• Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above
140 °F/60 °C. Operation at higher temperatures can
cause higher than normal temperatures at the tool,
which can result in operator discomfort.

• Always store an idle cutoff saw in a clean dry space
safe from damage or pilferage.
• Replace the cutoff wheel if worn for maximum
tool performance. Make sure that the wheel is not
chipped or damaged.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels
and warning stickers legible.
• Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts
with replacement parts recommended by Stanley
Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2000 psi/140 bar.
• All hoses must have an oil resistant inner surface
and an abrasive resistant outer surface. Hoses that
conform to SAE100R1A are recommended for most
tool applications.
• Use only cutoff wheels that meet requirements of
ANSI 87.5. Wheels should be no larger than 10-inches/25.4 em in diameter, 5/32-inch/4 mm thick with a
1-inch/25.4 or 22 mm arbor hole. Rated speed must
be 5000 rpm minimum.
• Tool repair should be performed by experienced
personnel only.
• Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before connection.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the
“OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling hydraulic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the quick couplers and cause overheating of the hydraulic system.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS
• The hydraulic system should provide a ow of 10-15
gpm/38-57 lpm at an operating pressure of 15002000 psi/105-140 bar. Recommended relief valve
settings are 2100-2250 psi/145-155 bar.
• The system should have no more than 250 psi/17
bar backpressure measured at the tool end of the
operating hoses. The system conditions for mea-
• The hydraulic system should have sufcient heat rejection capacity to limit the maximum oil temperature
to 140 °F/60 °C at the maximum expected ambient
temperature. The recommended minimum cooling
capacity is 7 hp/5.22 kW at a 40 °F/22 °C difference
between ambient temperature and oil temperature.
• The hydraulic system should have a minimum of 25
micron ltration. It is recommended that lter elements be sized for a ow of at least 30 gpm/1131
pm for cold temperature startup and maximum dirt
holding capacity.
• The hydraulic uid used should have a viscosity
between 100 and 400 ssu/20 and 82 centistokes
at the maximum and minimum expected operating
temperatures. Hydraulic uids of petroleum base
with anti wear properties and viscosity indexes over
140 will meet the recommended requirements over
a wide range of operating temperatures.
• The recommended hose size is .625 in/ 16 mm 1.0.
up to 50 ft/15 m long and .750 in/20 mm 1.0. minimum up to 100 ft/30 m long.
PREOPERATION CHECKOUT
PROCEDURES
POWER SOURCE
1. Using a calibrated owmeter and pressure gauge,
check that the hydraulic power source develops a
ow of 10-15 gpm/38-57 lpm at 1500-2000 psi/105-
140 bar.
2. Make certain that the power source is equipped with
a relief valve set to open at 2250 psi/155 bar maximum.
3. Check that all operating controls and indicators are
easily accessible.
CUTOFF SAW TRIGGER AND SAFETY
CATCH
1. Check that the trigger operates smoothly and is free
to travel between the “ON” and “OFF” positions.
2. Check that the trigger is set to disengage the cutoff
saw when released.
3. Check that the safety catch on the handle assembly
is operating properly. It should prevent engagement
of the trigger unless the catch is fully pressed down
into the handle slot.
HANDLE
Check that the handle bar is securely fastened to the
motor housing and handle bar strut. Remove any oil
from the handle bar.
WHEEL GUARD
1. Inspect the wheel guard for cracks and other structural damage.
2. Rotate the guard to ensure that it moves freely on
the wheel-arbor centerline.
10 ► CO23 User Manual
IMPORTANT
OPERATION
3. Check that the locking mechanism operates properly to hold the guard in a set position.
WHEEL CONDITION
1. Before installing abrasive wheels, “sound” the wheel
for possible damage by hanging the wheel vertically
by the arbor hole and rapping lightly with a screwdriver handle or similar instrument. Thin, organic
bond wheels will produce a low drumming tone if it
is physically sound. If the wheel produces a “dead”
or “at” sound, it may be cracked. Cracked or damaged wheels must never be used.
2. Check that the surfaces of the wheel that come in
contact with blotters and anges are free of dirt and
other foreign particles.
3. Check that the correct wheel is used for the job.
4. Check that the wheel conforms to the physical re-
quirements listed in the Specication section of this
manual. The cutoff wheel shall t freely on the drive
ange and remain free under all cutting conditions.
A controlled clearance between the arbor hole and
the cutoff saw drive ange is essential to avoid excessive pressure from installation and/or arbor expansion.
5. Check diamond wheels to ensure all seg ments are
intact.
ARBOR AND COLLARS
1. Inspect the drive ange and outer ange prior to installation. Check for burrs. Check that the bearing
surfaces are at and run true when mounted on the
drive shaft.
2. Inspect the drive shaft threads.
REDUCING BUSHINGS
1. When a reducing bushing is used in the cutoff wheel
mounting hole, check that it does not exceed the
thickness of the wheel.
2. Make sure that the reducing bushing does not protrude beyond the surface of the wheel on both sides.
Bushings that are too thick will not allow the collars
to t properly against the wheel.
3. Check that reducing bushings are tight in the cutoff
wheel mounting hole. Never use bushings that do
not t tightly in the mounting hole. Never use shim
stock.
DRIVESHAFT SPEED CHECK
The speed of the motor output shaft should be checked
at least every 100 hours of operation by trained and
experienced personnel. A record of the speed checks
should be maintained. The maximum rated speed of the
cutoff saw is 3600 rpm. This speed must be equal to or
less than the rated speed of the cutting wheel.
Tests should be conducted while operating the normal
hydraulic power supply used with the cutoff saw.
NOTE:
Excessive speed may be caused by excessive oil
ow to the tool.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTOFF WHEEL INSTALLATION
Make sure the wheel has been thoroughly inspected
prior to installation.
NOTE:
When mounting the wheel, use blotters at the col-
lars. The blotters should be made from highly compressible material and should not be more than
0.025-inch/.6 mm thick.
1. Install the wheel on the drive ange. Refer to the
Specication and Parts List sections of this manual
for wheel requirements and parts orientation, respectively.
2. Install the outer ange. (Use the Spirol drive pin on
diamond wheels only.)
3. Install and tighten the wheel nut. Tighten the nut
only tight enough to prevent slippage of the wheel.
4. Adjust the sole plate assembly for proper depth of
cut.
CONNECTING HOSES
1. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean lint-free cloth
before making connections.
2. Connect the hoses from the power supply to the
tool hoses. It is a good practice to connect return
hoses rst and disconnect last to minimize or avoid
trapped pressure within the tool.
3. If hose couplers are used, observe the arrow on the
coupler to ensure that the ow is in the proper direction. The female coupler on the tool hose is the inlet
coupler.
4. Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the “ON”
position to operate the tool.
CO23 User Manual ◄ 11
OPERATION
NOTE:
If uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure in-
crease within the hose may make them difcult to
connect. When possible, connect the free ends of
operating hoses together.
TOOL OPERATION
NOTE:
At the beginning of each shift or when a new cutoff
wheel has been installed, run the saw at operating
speed for at least one minute before starting work.
Keep personnel from in front of or in line with the
wheel.
GENERAL PROCEDURES
1. Whenever possible, the work should be held down
and securely supported on both sides of the cut.
2. Press down the safety catch; then slowly squeeze
the trigger. Start the cut with the wheel rotating. Start
the work gently, do not “bump” the work.
3. Feed the wheel through the material as fast as possible without allowing the wheel to reduce its speed.
Cutting through the material too slowly allows heat
expansion and can cause wheel “pinching” in the
material. “Pinching” the wheel from heat expansion
is one of the most common causes of wheel breakage.
When used on cutoff saws carried on emergency vehicles, wheels should be removed after use and discarded
or carefully stored as described in this section.
If wheels are supplied with blotters attached, suitable
separators should be used to preserve atness.
INVESTIGATION OF WHEEL BREAKAGE
Wheels designed for use with hand-held portable saws
are specically manufactured for this application. They
are manufactured to be extremely tough and are difcult
to break under normal use.
If a wheel breaks during use, a careful investigation
should be conducted by the user to determine the cause
of the breakage. The cause must then be corrected as
soon as possible.
If the user is unable to determine the cause of breakage,
the wheel manufacturer should be consulted.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the saw is to be used during cold weather, preheat
the hydraulic oil at low engine speed. When using the
normally recommended oils, oil should be at or above
50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or saw can result from
use with oil that is too viscous or thick.
CARE OF ABRASIVE CUTOFF WHEELS
All abrasive cutting-off wheels are breakable and, therefore, care must be exercised during handling and storage to prevent damage.
STORAGE
Thin, organic bonded wheels such as cutting off wheels
should be laid horizontally on a at surface of steel or
similar rigid material away from excessive heat or moisture. Wheels should not be stored where they will be
exposed to high humidity, water, other liquids, or freezing temperatures. Temperatures low enough to cause
condensation on the wheels when moving them from
storage to an area of higher temperatures should be
avoided.
12 ► CO23 User Manual
TROUBLESHOOTING
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem.
When diagnosing faults in operation of the cutoff saw, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the
correct hy draulic ow and pressure to the cutoff saw as listed in the table. Use a owmeter known to be accurate.
Check the ow with the hydraulic oil temperature at least 80 °F/27 °C.

UNDERWATER TOOLS DEPTH GUIDELINE
UNDERWATER MODELS ONLY
CAUTION
DO NOT USE HYDRAULIC TOOLS UNDER-
WATER THAT ARE NOT DESIGNATED AS
AN “UNDERWATER” MODEL, OR THIS
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TOOL.
For underwater hydraulic tools the applications are
broken down into four quadrants depending on
type of tool and method of operation.
The types of tools are percussive and rotational,
each with different characteristics allowing for different depth operation. With percussive tools, the
nitrogen accumulator PSI must counter the increase in ambient pressure found at lower depths.
Since there is a maximum PSI for percussive tools
they are limited to certain depths. Rotational tools
do not have accumulators and thus capable of
deeper depths.

The methods are broken into diver operated or
remote operated vehicle (ROV). ROV's can reach
lower depths and with an on-board hydraulic
power source that is depth compensated, can
operate hydraulic tools at depths of thousands of
feet. ROV operation is still limited to the tool, for
example a percussive tool has the same depth
limitation whether ROV or diver operated.
