General Instructions

Remove the Blade (2E) before transport.
WARNING: DO NOT operate without the proper
blade guard over the Blade! (2E)
WARNING: DO NOT operate the saw with the
front of the Blade Guard (2H) raised!
WARNING: Blade exposure CANNOT exceed
180 degrees when operating!
• The Front Pointer must be checked for alignment with
the Blade (2E). It must be in line with the Blade (2E)
mounted on the Blade Shaft (2I).
• For WET SAWING, be sure the water jets in the blade
guard water tubes are open and that each side of the
Blade (2E) has an adequate supply of water. Test the
water supply for pressure and quantity (fl ow) before
starting to saw.
WATER FLOW from 2-1/2 to 5 gallons of
water per minute MUST fl ow over the blade
to properly cool it and to get maximum blade
life. DO NOT use conventional (wet) diamond
blades without water!
• Saw only as deep as the specifications and job
conditions require. Sawing excessively deep is
wasteful–avoid it! Step cut in increments of 2 inches
(50 mm) for best results.
• Saw in a straight line. Mark the cutting line clearly so
the saw operator can follow the line without diffi culty.
The saw should NOT be twisted from side to side try-
ing to force the blade back on the line.
