To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection suitable to the material being sawed, ground or drilled; (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are dangerous.
  • Page 7: Electrical Requirements & Grounding Instructions

    PF10 SAFETY ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times! In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

  • Page 11: Setup

    SETUP CONTENTS In the shipping crate, you will find one Barranca Diamond PF10 Trim Saw assembly (saw, motor, baseboard, spray hood and 10" x 0.040 x 5/8 303 Pro diamond blade). One package of six rubber feet and mounting screws, and one 1" x 1" x 6" sharpening stick.
  • Page 12: Inspection

    Fig 3. Toggle power switch positions and functions Prior to operating the PF10 Trim Saw, you must fill the oil reservoir so that the lubricant fluid covers the bottom 1/4" of the blade (fig 4). 1/2 gallon of oil will adequately cover the bottom of a 10” blade and 3/4 gallon will be sufficient for an 8”...
  • Page 13: Start Up

    PF10 START UP START UP With the table removed from the reservoir, inspect the motor mounts and belt tension. Check the four motor mounting nuts (fig 6) to insure they are tight and the motor is secure. The V-belt is adjusted and tensioned at the factory.
  • Page 14 Fig 9. Motor cord attached to the power feed box receptacle If an extension cord is used to attach to the PF10 Trim Saw, use an extension cord that is at least 14 gauge wire and no longer than 25 feet.
  • Page 15: Start Up

    PF10 START UP START UP (continued) Once the rock vise is placed in the far back position, lock the clutch handle in the 9 or 3 o’clock position (fig 11). Now engage the power feed and main motor to begin advancing the vise and rotating the blade by pushing the toggle to the rear or to the BACK/POWER FEED position (fig 3).
  • Page 16: Slab Sawing Mode

    PF10 SLAB SAWING MODE SLAB SAWING MODE To begin slabbing of rock material, turn the toggle switch to the MIDDLE/OFF position (fig 3) and secure the material in the rock vise by opening the vise jaws wide enough to fit the material to be cut. Retighten the jaws with the wing nut screws on the rock vise (fig 14).
  • Page 17 PF10 SLAB SAWING MODE SLAB SAWING MODE (continued) At this point, the clutch handle should be engaged by turning it to the 3 or 9 o’clock position (fig 11). Slab- bing of material can now be initiated by engaging the power feed and blade by moving the toggle switch to the BACK/POWER FEED position (fig 3).
  • Page 18: Trim Sawing Mode

    TRIM SAWING MODE TRIM SAWING MODE Slabbing of rock material to uniform thicknesses using the PF10 Trim Saw is best performed using the auto- matic power feed mode. However, manual trimming of slabs to desired shapes (preforming) can be achieved using the saw in the FORWARD/MANUAL FEED position (fig 3).
  • Page 19: Maintenance

    CUTTING LUBRICANT REPLACEMENT The PF10 Trim Saw requires periodic routine maintenance to remove the build up of rock mud (sludge) and dirty lubricating fluid from the reservoir. It will be apparent to the user that the lubricating fluid is dirty and needs to be changed if the oil residue on the saw table after cutting is thick and dark with rock sludge build up.
  • Page 20 The power feed system utilizes a 4 RPM AC gear motor mounted inside of the rectangular box attached to the front of the PF10 Trim Saw (fig 27). There is no need to service or lubricate the power feed motor unless the motor fails and the screw feed rod fails to rotate when the feed is engaged.
  • Page 21 BLADE ARBOR ASSEMBLY AND PULLEYS The PF10 Trim Saw is equipped with a 5/8"-18 left-hand fine threaded arbor shaft with sealed ball bearings mounted in an aluminum bearing arbor housing. A 2" OD x 5/8" bore die cast zinc coated pulley is mounted on the shaft outside the oil reservoir.
  • Page 22 ON. If the motor does not restart after a cool down period, remove the motor and have an authorized repair service center for Baldor inspect the motor. Barranca Diamond can refer you to an authorized motor repair service center in your area.
  • Page 23: Diamond Blade

    Fig 31. Motor reset button. DIAMOND BLADE Periodically, the diamond blade on the PF10 Trim Saw will need to be resharpened should slow or poor sawing performance occur. Dull or “glazed over” diamonds will either not cut thus stalling the saw and shutting off the motor, or the rock vise and rock material will ride up the blade and possibly damage the blade or “dish”...
  • Page 24: Installation & Removal

    PF10 INSTALL/REMOVAL DIAMOND BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (continued) Reattach the saw table with the four mounting screws. Be sure the cork tank gasket is positioned correctly between the saw table and coolant reservoir and that the proper amount of lubricant is in the reservoir before attaching the saw table.
