C. Water Supply
Pressurized source: Turn the water control to full "ON" when using wet
cutting blades. The required flow rate is 4-6 gallons per minute.
Water Tank on saw: This supply is designed for use with dry blades to
keep the dust levels down. The tank will not supply the proper water flow
rates when used with wet cut only blades. Do not drink the water from this
tank. Fill the tank with water only. Close the water tank valve. Attach the
saws water supply hose to the tank outlet. Fill the tank with water. The
capacity of the tank is 6.5 US Gallons (24.6 liter) . When you are ready to
cut, adjust the water supply rate until a fine mist or a slow trickle is made.
The use of water greatly decreases the amount of dust produced during the
cutting process, aids in the cooling of the blade, and provides additional
stability.
