Introduction INTRODUCTION The 695XL saw is designed to cut concrete, stone, and masonry when used with the appropriate genuine ICS Diamond Chain. Ductile iron pipe may also be cut but ONLY if using PowerGrit® Utility Saw Chain. This is a professional tool and is solely intended for use by trained and experienced operators.

695XL OPERATOR MANUAL Unpacking & Assembly CHECKING & ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION All chains have a tendency to stretch when used. ICS chains stretch more than wood cutting chains because of the abrasive materials they are cutting. WARNING Improper chain tension can lead to failure of the chain or derailing of the chain off of the guidebar.

Following are the basic instructions to assure correct water supply to the saw. WARNING ICS diamond saws require a continuous water supply to the guidebar and chain. A key purpose of the supply water is dust suppression. The potential for airborne particulates depends on many factors including, but not limited to, the material being cut, application and cutting environment.
2% (50:1). Due to the heavy duty cycle ICS saws are subjected to in both concrete and utility pipe cutting applications, oil mixture and fuel quality are critical to the performance and life of the engine.
Customers are encouraged to remain consistent in the fuel option they choose for ICS saws. Alternating between options, such as going between traditional fuel to Alkylate fuel (Aspen) and back again may have negative impacts on the engine.

Operation 695XL OPERATOR MANUAL CUTTING WITH THE SAW To assure the best performance from your ICS saw, follow all safety precautions and recommended techniques. Additional helpful information can be obtained at icsdiamondtools.com. CONCRETE/MASONRY CUTTING Planning the Cut 1. Select the proper chain type for the material being cut. Refer to the chain selection guide in this manual.
Proper handling of the saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the guidebar and chain. IMPORTANT ICS recommends mixing fuel in small batches, to be used within 30 days. Fuel stabilizers (additives) can prolong the life of the fuel, but still should not be stored longer than 90 days.
Also included may be hoses, connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, ICS will repair your saw engine at no cost to you.
