SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Saw blade should be inspected daily for excessive wear, core cracks, and arbor
damage. Replace any blade that shows signs of damage.

• To mount blade, clean arbor and outer flanges, tightening nut securely.

• DO NOT place any portion of body in line with blade while it is rotating.

• To reduce risk of electrical shock, it is recommended to use GFCI and refer

servicing to qualified professional.

We recommends the use of these safety items when operating the saw:

USE PROPER GROUND CICUIT !

USE BLADE GUARD WHEN OPERATING SAW !

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GEAR !

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

• Never use the machine improperly or work in an unsafe manner.

• Always wear safety goggles, dust mask, and ear protection while operating

the saw (to comply with ANSI-Z87.1).

• Always remain alert when the saw is in use. Failure to pay attention on the
operator’s part may lead to serious injury.

• Before you start working, familiarize yourself with the work site and its
surroundings. Take notice of circumstances, which may impede working or
traffic, observe soil conditions (good bearing or not), and take measures to
ensure safety (i.e. the shielding of road works from public traffic).

• Take measures to ensure that the machine is in a safe and trouble-free
condition prior to usage. Use the machine only when all protective devices
(i.e. guards, noise absorbers, emergency-off devices) are operating in the
intended locations.

• A visual check of the machine must be made at least once a shift to ensure
that visible damages or faults are recognized. Any changes (including
changes in the performance or behavior of the machine) must be reported to
the supervisor. If necessary, stop the machine at once and secure it.

• In the case of a malfunction, stop the machine immediately and secure it. Fix
the problem as soon as possible.

• For starting and stopping the machine follow the operating instruction steps
and observe any indicator lights.

• Before switching the machine on make sure that the activated machine will be
of no danger to anyone.

• Be sure to connect the plug to a properly grounded receptacle to reduce the
risk of electric shock.

HEALTH WARNINGS

Some dust are created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and cause
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
are, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Universal wrench

• Owner’s manual

DIAMOND BLADE INSTALLATION

1. Move the blade shaft cover upwards.
To remove the blade lock nut, open
the shaft space.

2. Place the blade onto the blade shaft.
Make sure that the directional arrow is
pointing in the direction of the shaft
rotation

3. Lock the blade lock nut with the outer
flange. Use the multiple wrench
provided to fasten the blade tightly

CUTTING TABLE ASSEMBLY

To install the cutting table to the machine:

1. Set the cutting table on the rails

2. Install the screw and brackets to
the cutting table

3. To remove the cutting table do
the reverse of the above two
steps.

THE CUTTING TABLE

Features:

• The heavy-duty cutting table with

steel wheels provides the durability
to handle large materials.

Only use the Ø14" (350 mm) blade for this saw. Setting smaller size of
diamond blade may grab the material being cut, causing damage and
possibly injury.

USE PROPER GROUND CICUIT !

USE BLADE GUARD WHEN OPERATING SAW !

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GEAR !

THE RIP GUIDE

Steps to use the 45º / 90º rip guide

1. Set the rip guide by positioning it on the desired dimension and tighten the
threaded knob. Make sure that the rip guide is firmly tightened to avoid
slippage. The rip guide can be used for 90º rip cuts and 45º angle cuts from
both the left and right side. (Note the straight and 45º angled slits on the
bottom of the rip guide

2. After the rip guide is positioned for the desired cut, place material flat against
the rip guide and the measurement rail. After the rip guide is positioned for
the desired cut, place material flat against the rip guide and the measurement
rail. For 45º rip cuts, place the corner of material in the open slot of the
measurement rail.

3. Simply line up the material being cut with the appropriate pre-marked lines on
the cutting table.

4. Now you are ready to make your cut

CUTTING DEPTH

The recommended cutting depth is ¼" below the cutting table surface. The
cutting clearance has been fixed from original designed.

Only use the Ø14" (350 mm) blade for this saw. Setting smaller size of
diamond blade may grab the material being cut, causing damage and
possibly injury.

WATER PUMP INSTALLATION

1. Remove the water pump from the box and check that it is not damaged.

2. Place the pump into the middle of the water tray along its side so that the
water outlet is positioned horizontally. Connect the water hose from the blade
guard to the pump and plug the power cord into the 3-prong receptacle.

3. Fill the water tray so that the water intake is fully immersed.

4. Be sure to support the pump during installation to prevent pump failure or
damage.

Disconnect the pump before attempting to handle the pump.
Never operate pump without water in the tray

12

SLIDE-IN LEGS

1. Slide each of the four legs into the housing at the four corners of the saw
frame.

2. After sliding the leg as far as possible, lock the leg in place with the ring bolt
located on the leg housing.

SAW MAINTENANCE

Maintenance interval Wath to do for maintenance and care
After ecery use ot the

machine

- Remove dirty water from container.

- Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the container

- Rinse teh immersion pump with fresh water to prevent water

pump dogging from residual dirt.

After wet clearing and
before using the machine
again

Connect the machine to an electric power outlet equipped with
a“GFI” safety power breaker. If the safety power breaker cuts off
the electrical power supply, do not try to operate the machine but
have it checked by an authorized dealer first.

Before not using the
machine for a prolonged
period of time

Clean and lubricate all movable part.

Before not using the
machine for a prolonged
period of time

- Check that the stand is safely fixed.

- Check that all screw joints and nuts are fixed.

- Check that the roller table is in its guides and that it easliy

moves to and fro.

- With the saw blade removed, switch on the motor for an

instant and switch it off again. If the motor does not run, have
the machine inspected by a qualified electrician.

- Check that the immersion pump works properly. Turn on the

cooling water tap and switch the machine on. If the pump
does not give any water or only a little, switch the machine off
at once. Clean the pump, or replace of necessary.

Ambient temperture
below 0°C
(operation in winter)

To prevent the water in the pump and cooling system from
freezing, remove the water after using the machine or when there
will be a long break. Make sure that the cooling system is entirely
drained so that there is no water left inside the pump, water hose
and bearing housing

For your safety, before performing any maintenance on the saw turn off
the power switch and unplug the power card
