The height of the fork can be adjusted totally 12 mm by turning the fork CW or CCW, to compensate for irregularities on the wall. Please be sure that the fork is not threaded all the way out before the track is mounted.
Operator’s manual for Pentruder 8-20HF/iQ and Pentpak HF-power pack – Original instructions Page 15 Mounting the saw head on the track The saw head runs on the track on four conical rollers. The upper rollers are fitted on eccentric shafts, opened and locked by turning the lifting handles. Fold the saw onto the track, the bottom rollers engaged first.
Operator’s manual for Pentruder 8-20HF/iQ and Pentpak HF-power pack – Original instructions Page 16 Quick disconnect coupling for HF-motor on saw head To reduce the weight of the parts that must be handled by the operator, the saw head is basically divided in the saw head unit and the drive motor.
Operator’s manual for Pentruder 8-20HF/iQ and Pentpak HF-power pack – Original instructions Page 17 Quick disconnect coupling for the saw blade Function principle: The saw blade is fitted on a blade flange by means of an outer collar and clamped by means of a special centre screw, or, for flush cutting, on a special flush cutting flange by means of 6 countersunk screws and nuts.
Operator’s manual for Pentruder 8-20HF/iQ and Pentpak HF-power pack – Original instructions Page 18 Warning! The drive dogs on the machine spindle and blade flange bust be completely in mesh before the clamping screw is tightened to prevent damage to the coupling. Failure to follow this instruction may result in coupling overload and a failure can lead to serious personal injury or death.

350 to 1165 rpm for the Pentruder 8-20HF and 310-1180 rpm for the Pentruder 8-20iQ is available. The difference between the Pentruder 8-20HF and the Pentruder 8-20iQ is that the Pentruder 8- 20iQ has 20% lower spindle speed and 20% higher torque, which makes is suitable for cutting with big blades and in hard concrete.
