I. PREPARATION A. Safety Precautions Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed. Hazard Symbols Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from sparks or flames.
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...

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.
Inspect the saw for shipping damage. If any damage is found, contact the shipper immediately and file a freight claim. Norton Clipper is not responsible for any freight-related damages. Remove the saw from the pallet. Inspect the machine for concealed shipping damaged.
D. Engine Precautions 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.
4. Place the blade on the blade shaft, lining up the drive pin hole in the blade with the drive pinhole in the inside collar. For Best Performance Use Only Norton Diamond Blades Specified For the Material Being Cut. 5. Slide the outside blade shaft collar onto the blade shaft. The drive pin on the outside collar must project through the drive pin hole in the blade and into the inside collar.

Subaru Engine Maintenance Schedule Check the engine oil level before each use when the engine is cool and the engine is level. Add oil if the level is low. The oil level should be within the operating range (see the engine owner’s manual for details). Only use a high-detergent, premium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S.
Page 17
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.
To adjust the C13PE Belt Tension: The C13PE uses a simple single point tensioning system for the belt tensioning. The Belt Tensioning Assembly can be found behind the engine and is located near the Operator’s Left Side Rear Engine Mounting Bolt. The Belt Tensioning Device is designed to pull or push the engine from the center which helps to reduce the Engine from twisting during the Belt Tensioning process.

5. Loosen the two (2) 3/8” Jam Nuts on the C13PE Belt Tensioning Assembly (See Figure: C13PE Belt Tensioning Assembly below).

Nut until the required Belt Tension is achieved. To loosen the Belts turn the front 3/8” Jam Nut counter clockwise until the required Belt Tension is achieved. (See Figure: C13PE Belt Tensioning Jam Nut Directions). NOTE: Do not over tighten the belts as too tight of belts can break Engine Output Shafts, Blade Shafts, Belts, and cause premature Bearing Failures.
Page 23
Check the belt tension frequently during the first day of operation. Check the belt tension periodically thereafter and make any necessary adjustments. To align the Pulleys: 1. Review the locations of the C13PE Belt Tensioning system before proceeding. (See Figure: C131PE Belt Tensioning System on page 15).
Page 24
4. Misalignment will show up as a gap between the pulley face and the straight edge. 5. To correct the misalignment move one pulley in or out as required. Main Causes of Belt Failures: Premature Belt failure can be attributed to the following issues: Tension (too much or too little), Pulley Misalignment, Damaged Pulleys, Improper Handling or Storage, Incorrect Blade Specification for Material Being Cut, and Cutting Too Deep.
E. Depth Control The depth control (raising screw) consists of a threaded rod, which feeds into a steel 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.
Any wear due to normal use of the machine will not be considered as a case of warranty for items designated as Wear Parts (W). For best performance and life Genuine Norton Clipper replacement parts should always be used. Changes to part specifications,...
