Page 2 Operating/Safety Instructions IMPORTANT: Read Before Operating Equipment To avoid accidents or injury, keep work area clean, well lit, and well ventilated. Always wear eye, hand, and all other appropriate protective apparel when operating saw. Keep all other people, children, and small farm animals away while operating saw.
Page 3 Operating Instructions Installing/Replacing Blade: Note: This saw is designed for stone and masonry applications exclusively. For optimal performance use only blades from Omega Diamond. Place the saw on the rail (with rail rubber side down) providing clearance for installing the blade. Loosen Vertical Adjustment lock and raise motor to full height.
Page 4 Typical Operation: Note: For most cutting operations, it is recommended that you lay your slab on top of a foam sheet at least 1” (3cm) thick. (1.5” (4cm) is preferred for less crumbling). 1) Lay the rail on the slab along the line to be cut. 2) Allow the rails to overhang enough for the blade to clear the stone where you will begin your cut.
Page 5 Troubleshooting Blade seems to be cutting slowly or not cutting at all? Suggestions: Make sure the blade is mounted to spin in the proper direction (See Spin Direction, pg 6). The material being cut may have “loaded” or “glazed” the diamond. Use a dressing stone or “green stone”...
Page 6 Spin Direction Some of the supported motors have an arrow on the guard indicating the spin direction of the blade. If the spin direction of the blade is not indicated, then it may be safe to assume that it spins in a clockwise direction.
