Straight Line Sawing; Hydraulic System; Transport And Storage - Husqvarna FS 3500 G Operator's Manual

• Rotate the Blade Depth Indicator knob to the zero
position. The blade cutting depth will now be indicated on
the Depth Indicator when the blade is lowered into the
cutting surface.
CAUTION! The touch should be smooth to
prevent damaging the blade. Use Saw
lowering speed control knob to slow down
the lowering speed.
Use of the Blade Depth Stop
• Lower the saw by pushing the Raise/Lower switch on the
Forward/Reverse control lever downwards until the blade
is at the required depth ( as indicated on the Blade Depth
Indicator).
• Set the Blade Depth Stop by turning the knob clockwise
until tight. Now the maximum cutting depth is set. If the
saw is raised out of the cut surface for any reason it can
now be lowered to this specific depth by lowering the
blade into the cutting surface with the Raise/Lower switch
on the Speed control lever.

Straight line sawing

While cutting, the blade is creating resistance to driving force
from rear wheels which will cause the machine to yaw in the
same direction as the blade is mounted on. This effect can be
counteracted by adjusting the angle of the rear axle using the
manual axle adjustment.

OPERATING
Rear axle adjustment
NOTICE! First loosen the bolts on the rear axle and the
console on wheel motor.
• The rear axle is adjusted by turning the adjustment bolt
located at the rear lower left of saw frame with an 18mm
wrench.
• If the saw steers to the right while sawing, turn the
adjustment bolt counterclockwise.
• If the saw steers to the left while sawing, turn the
adjustment bolt clockwise.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system on this saw is used to raise/lower the
diamond blade and to propel the saw forward or reverse.
The hydraulic system consists of a Hydrostatic Transmission,
a DC Lift Pump with a Flow Control Valve and a Hydraulic Lift
Cylinder.
• The lowering rate of the saw can be adjusted using the
Flow Control Valve. If the saw falls too quickly, turn the
knob on the Flow Control Valve clockwise until an
adequate lowering rate is set.

Transport and storage

• Remove the blade before transportation or storage of the
machine, to avoid damage to the blade.
• Remove all adjustment tools and wrenches
• Close the fuel shut-off valve.
WARNING! Remove the cutting blade prior to
lifting, loading, unloading or transporting
the machine.
