Operator’s Manual Pentruder CW630 HF Chain Saw – Original instructions Page 10 Safety precautions at site WARNING! BEFORE CUTTING Before cutting is commenced, make sure that; There are no power lines, gas or piping which can be damaged by the CW630 chain saw. The statics of the building are not compromised because of the cut openings. No damage is done on the other side of the concrete when cutting through. Check with the foreman responsible that all necessary precautions have been performed before commencing work. Await the approval of the safety precautions and position of the machine from the foreman before work is commenced. Safety and health regulations at the work place must be followed. No work should be commenced which cannot be judged to be safe. Always use common sense and good working practice. Always check that the machine, diamond chain and guidebar are in faultless condition and that all functions are in order before work is commenced. Never use a diamond chain for material which it is not intended for. Before cutting is commenced all persons involved must know how the emergency stop buttons are working. Insufficient water supply may result in excessive wear to the diamond chain, which can lead to loss of strength and chain breakage, and/or damage to the guidebar nose sprocket. Assure that the water supply is capable of delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the chain saw at a minimum flow rate of 4 lpm (1 gpm). Only use PowerGrit® Utility Saw Chain when cutting ductile iron pipe or like materials with the saw. Using chain platforms not specifically designed for this type of material may cause segment loss or diamond chain breakage. WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT All persons working with, or in the proximity of the machine should wear safety equipment, i.e. protection helmet, protection shoes, gloves, eye and ear protectors and long pants. The noise level during cutting might lead to permanent hearing disorders if ear guards are not worn. Find out what material is cut and wear appropriate dust mask or respirator protection if necessary. Avoid loose fitting clothing. ...
Operator’s Manual Pentruder CW630 HF Chain Saw – Original instructions Page 11 WARNING! RISK AREA The risk area must be roped off and the operator must make sure that no unauthorised persons enter the risk area. Clear the working area and make sure no unauthorized persons are within the risk area before the machine is allowed to be started. Remember always to cover cut openings so that no person falls down and hurts himself. Secure the concrete before starting work to make sure there is no possibility that concrete blocks may fall down causing injury or damage to persons or property.

Diamond chains stretch bar. more than wood cutting chains because of the abrasive materials they are cutting. When a chain stretches to a point where the drive links are hanging approximately 12 mm If the chain is too tight, a lot of the saw's power (1/2 in) to 18 mm (3/4 in) below the bar, it is goes into turning the chain rather than into the time to tension the chain. cut. In extreme over‐tightened cases, the saw may not be able to turn the chain at all. In addition, damage can occur to the bar nose and premature stretch may occur. Connection to water supply The HF‐power pack and HF‐chain saw have to be drained from water in sub zero temperatures. The HF‐chain saw is self draining if put on a flat surface with the chain side down and with the water hose open. Important! Insufficient water supply will result in excessive wear to the chain, which can lead to loss of strength and chain breakage, and/or damage to the guide bar nose sprocket. Cooling water is supplied through the HF‐drive system to the Pentruder CW630. The Pentruder CW630 is equipped with an efficient electric motor cooling system. At least 4 litres/minute (1 gpm) of cool water is required to keep the temperature down when maximum power is used Please refer to the Operator’s Manual for the Pentruder HF‐drive system being used for information regarding water ...
Operator’s Manual Pentruder CW630 HF Chain Saw – Original instructions Page 14 Pre‐cut checklist Ensure proper chain tension: The chain should be easily pulled around the guide bar by hand. Ensure all safety devices are properly mounted and functional and that all controls are in proper working order. Be sure there are no obstructions (plumbing, electrical conduit, air ducts, etc.) and no unnecessary people present. Always wear protective clothing, including hard hat, eye protection, hearing protection, non‐slip safety boots, gloves. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing. Planning the cut Outline the cut with a permanent marker for a visual cutting guide. Avoid pinching the guide bar and diamond chain. Always cut the bottom of an opening first, then top, and then the sides. Save the easiest cut for last. For the straightest cuts use the “Step Cut” method. First score the entire cut line approximately 12 mm (1/2 in) deep using the nose of the guide bar. Next, deepen the cut by about 50 mm (2 in). Then plunge all the way through and complete the cut using the WallWalker®. Be sure cut concrete cannot fall and injure operator or bystanders. Warning! Concrete is very heavy, one cubic foot = 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm = 68 kg (12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 150 lbs). Check for live electrical wiring near the cutting area or in the concrete to ...
Operator’s Manual Pentruder CW630 HF Chain Saw – Original instructions Page 15 Cutting Before cutting, it is essential that all personnel working with or in close Warning! proximity of the machine have read and understood the contents of this Operator’s Manual and the Operator’s Manual for the HF‐drive system and that the instructions are followed. If the safety precautions are not respected, this can result in serious injury and even fatal injuries to persons in close proximity of the machine. When all safety precautions are taken as described in chapter 3 and the Pentruder CW630 is prepared as described in chapter 4, the operation can start. Please refer to the Operator’s Manual for the Pentpak HF‐drive system being used for detailed information on how to connect and start the HF‐power pack. Starting and stopping the Pentruder CW630 The remote control must be connected to the Pentpak for being able to operate the CW630. It is part of the emergency stop safety system.

Operator’s Manual Pentruder CW630 HF Chain Saw – Original instructions Page 16 Cutting tips Do not run the saw upside‐down. Concrete debris can fly back into the Warning! operator’s face. Always operate tool with solid footing and with both hands firmly gripping the handles. To avoid overheating, the HF‐motor will be switched off automatically if the motor winding temperature is over 140°C (284°F). The coolant water should then be left running through the HF‐power pack and HF‐chain saw to avoid terminal overheating. If the water is turned off immediately after the HF‐motor has been switched off Important! automatically, for instance due to overload and the warning light is on, terminal damage to the motor windings may occur. Rebar must be encased in concrete. Never cut bare rebar with a Diamond Chain. If one of the emergency stop buttons is pressed or the unit has been unplugged from the power supply, both the blade speed and the feed and travel potentiometers must be returned to zero before the machine is Note! operational again. The single most important factor an operator can control to increase chain life is to use adequate water pressure and flow. To start a cut, hold trigger and slowly plunge the nose of the guide bar straight into the wall. Use the fixed WallWalker® as a pivot point and pull up on the rear handle to rotate the guide bar into the cut. Always operate the saw at full speed. If too much force is applied, the saw will lug or stall. The chain will not ...
