MP2 Masonry Saw
The MP2 Masonry Saw is designed for vigorous wet-cutting
masonry applications. The heavy-duty steel conveyor cart and
ball bearing roller wheels ensure material stability and smooth
travel. In addition a reinforced jig-welded steel frame provides
rigidity for cutting accuracy and long service life.
This saw is available with either an electric motor or a gasoline
engine . Two heavy duty electric motors are available: a 5 HP
230V single phase or 5 HP 230V three phase, all with overload
protectiom.
If desired, the MP2 Masonry Saw can be configured with a 9.0
HP Honda GX270 gasoline engine.
All MP2 saw models include a high flow water pump, cutting jig,
water hoses and associated plumbing to enable the operator to
begin wet cutting.
Dry Cutting Applications
The MP2 Masonry Saw masonry saw is shipped from the factory
for wet-cutting saw applications, however it can be used for dry-
cutting saw applications (see dry-cutting saw applications in
this manual). The most important thing to remember is to
disconnect the water pump . The water pump is cooled by the
flow of water, and failure to disconnect the pump (when running
dry) will cause pump failure. NEVER! have the water pump
engaged when dry cutting applications are involved.
Blade Applications
This saw has been designed to incorporate the use of diamond
blades as the cutting tool. The optimum performance of this saw
is best evidenced by using 20-inch (508 mm) diamond blades
that match the material being cut. Ask your dealer, or call
Multiquip about your specific cutting application.
