II. OPERATION A. How to Mount Blade Be sure blade shaft collars and arbor are free of dirt and all foreign material before mounting blade on the arbor shaft. Tightening blade against an uneven surface can cause fracture of an abrasive blade or cause to run-out of alignment, causing excessive blade wear.
Page 18
start "step cutting" - which means passing the material beneath the blade with rapid , (50 to 60 strokes per minute) full length strokes, taking a shallow cut (approximately 1/8" deep ) on the forward, and also on the backward stroke. Complete each rapid stroke backward and forward, by passing the material beyond the center of the blade before starting the reverse movement of the cart.

5. When a new diamond blade is broken in, make the first few cuts slowly until the blade cuts freely and easily. 6. When the blade is cutting freely and easily. Use it! As long as it cuts satisfactorily do not dress the diamond blade or remove it from the blade shaft. 7.

3. The saw uses a belt driven mechanical pump which only operates when the engine/motor is running. 4. Handle on petcock should be turned in line with the water flow. Start motor and be certain that both sides of the blade are getting water. 5.
B. Electric Motor The motors are specially designed for masonry sawing. It is totally enclosed and the sealed bearings require no lubrication. The motor is equipped with thermal overload protection. 1. Periodically clean the dirt and sludge build-up from the motor fan housing and cooling fins.
