CONCRETE SAW

OWNER'S MANUAL

Install and raise the handle to the desired height and secure in place with provided fasteners

Be certain to check engine oil level and service before using. Refer to engine manual for

detailed information.

1. Be certain you have the correct diamond or abrasive blade. Contact your authorized

servicing dealer for the correct specification. Getting the correct blade will make a

tremendous difference in your blade costs and performance.

2. The blade shaft flange and arbor must be inspected for damage and cleaned before

mounting blade. If damaged replace bad parts. Inspect blade for damage to arbor hole

and flange area before attempting to mount blade.

3. Mount the blade solidly and firmly on blade shaft arbor using the wrench provided. Make

sure the arrow on both the blade and the blade guard are pointing in the same direction

of rotation. The lock pin in the outer blade flange must go completely through the blade

and into the matching hole in the inside blade flange. Tighten blade flange nut very

securely. (Approximately 50 ftIb.). Note that the blade shaft nut on the right hand side

has a left handed thread which tightens by turning counter-clockwise. Some models the

blade shaft nut on the left hand side has right hand threads which tightens by turning

clockwise.

4. Do not operate without proper blade guard in place. Do not operate with front of blade

guard raised. Blade exposure cannot exceed 180 degrees when cutting.

5. The front pointer must be checked for alignment with blade. It must be in line with a

blade mounted on the blade shaft. Use a chalk line or long straight edge to verify

alignment.

6. Do not use conventional (wet) diamond blades without water! You must have from 2.5 to

5 gallons of water per minute flowing over the blade for proper cooling and to get

maximum blade life. For wet sawing be sure the spray holes in the blade guard water

tubes are open and that each side of the blade has an adequate supply of water. Test

your water supply for pressure and quantity (flow) before starting to saw.

7. Saw in a straight line. Mark the cutting line clearly so the saw operator can follow the

line without difficulty .The saw should not be twisted from side to side trying to force the

blade back on line.
