Dust and Silica Warning Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and...

1. Before mounting any blade on the saw, the blade should be inspected for any damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or previous use. 2. The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for damage before mounting the blade. 3.
I. PREPARATION B. Assembly The self-propelled concrete saws are shipped completely assembled and ready for use except for diamond blade, gasoline, oil, and handle bar. Inspect the saw for shipping damage. If any damage is found, contact the shipper immediately and file a freight claim.
II. OPERATION Read and understand this manual before running or using the machine! A. Installing the Blade 1. Insure that the Ignition Power Key Switch is in the OFF position and then disconnect the spark plug. 2. Remove the blade shaft nut, (NOTE: Operator’s Right side is a left hand thread and the Operator’s Left side is right hand thread), and remove the outside collar.
pin hole to insure both are round. If any problems are found do not use the blade. In addition check that the blade is the correct specification for the application. Use only Clipper Diamond Blades. This machine was not designed for the use with abrasive blades. 5.

NOTE: Diamond blades are direction dependent so verify the direction of rotation of the blade. The machine will rotate the blade into the work surface (down cut).
C. Engine Operation Prior to attempting to operate the engine, read the information contained in the engine owner's manual. An engine owner’s manual is supplied with every gasoline powered concrete saw. 1. Check Oil: Add oil if low. Refer to the engine owner's manual for the recommended SAE viscosity grades.

Turn the Fuel Control To the ON Position Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. NOTE: do not use the choke if the engine is warm or the air temperature is high. Pull The Throttle Control Slightly to the Rear to provide some engine throttle.
D. 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. Optional 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.
Page 17
Controls the cutting depth of the blade. Rotate Clockwise to raise and counter clockwise to lower the depth of cut. Fuel Tank (20 HP Only): An internal all metal fuel tank is standard equipment for 20 HP models only (C2016, C2020, C2024, PC2016, PC2020,and PC2024). All 13 HP models have a fuel tank attached to the top of the engine.
instructions for starting the engine found in the Engine manual. All 13 HP units are equipped with a Choke control attached to the Engine below the Air Cleaner on the Operator’s Right Hand Side. Engine Throttle: The Engine Throttle Control allows the operator to adjust the Engine Speed while starting and operating the machine.

8. If wet cutting turn on the water supply at the source and then open the water valves on the saw. Make sure that there is a minimum of two gallons per minute of water flow!! 9. Be sure that the engine is running at full throttle!!! Check Engine Speed on the Tachometer to that listed on the Blade Speed Chart located on the Console is correct for the diameter of Blade being used.
15. To disengage the transmission, place the Speed Control in the Neutral position and then slide the Transmission Engage/Disengage lever fully to the “Disengage” position. Caution: Do Not Engage Or Disengage The Transmission While The Machine Is In The Forward Or Reverse Positions! G.
If the saw leads off excessively check the contact between the drive rollers and the rear wheels. Small steering corrections may be made by applying slight pressure to the right or left side of the handle bar. The drive rollers will need to be cleaned from time to time.
III. MAINTENANCE A. Engine Maintenance Follow the below schedule for engine maintenance. NOTE: Check the Honda Engine manual that came with the engine for any changes to the maintenance schedule. If the charts have any differences, follow the chart in the Honda Engine Manual.

Honda 20HP Engines: The “Refer to Page” shown references in chart shown above is from the Honda Engine Manual. * = Replace the paper filter element only ** = Refer to the Shop Manual (1) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas (2) These items should be serviced by your Honda servicing dealer, unless you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient.

Only use a high-detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service Classification SG, SF/CC, CD. Motor oils will show the classification on the container. A SAE viscosity of 10W-30 is recommend by Honda for general, all temperature use. Please consult the below chart or contact your local Honda service center for the proper viscosity for your temperature range.
Page 25
Always refer to the engine manual for more detailed information on checking the oil, changing oil, and oil capacity, air filter changes, and fuel type to use. Use only Honda air filters. Do not clean the air filter with gasoline or other flammable solvents.
B. Bearings Re lubrication type bearings must be relubricated daily to assure long life. The grease used should conform to the NLGI grade two consistencies and be free of any chemical impurities such as free acid or free alkali, dust rust, metal particles or abrasives.
C. V-Belts Warning: Never make adjustments to belts or pulleys while engine is running! 1. The best tension for a belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip under full load. 2. Simply take up the drive until the belts are snug in the grooves.
D. Depth Control The depth control (raising screw) consists of a threaded rod which feeds into a brass nut. In order to keep the two parts working smoothly it is necessary to keep the rod free from dirt and sludge as much as possible. Cleaning the threaded rod with a rag after each use will prevent sludge from collecting in the tube assembly and protect the threads.
