Page 15: Battery Preparation
Preparation Add Oil To fill the crankcase with oil, place the engine level. In order for this to be accomplished the blade must not be installed, and the depth adjustment must be down (until the engine is level). Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for details on the type and amount of oil required. -
Page 16: Mounting The Blade
Preparation Mounting the Blade When mounting the blade, locate the direction arrow on the blade and install the blade in the proper orientation. The blade rotates clockwise when viewed from the right side of the saw. The blade must be properly fitted over the blade shaft and drive pin. The drive pin must project through the hole in the blade and into the flange for proper performance. -
Page 17: Saw Operations
Operation Saw Operations This section of the manual describes the operating procedures, and safety precautions for proper use of this concrete saw. This saw is intended for industrial applications by experienced operators.

Page 18: Operation In Enclosed Areas
Operation Buried or Concealed Hazards Prior to operation of this machine the operator must determine the existence and location of any subsurface features which may be hazardous or could damage the equipment (i.e. electric cable, natural WARNING gas line, etc.). Operation in Enclosed Areas The operator is cautioned not to use this equipment within enclosed spaces. -
Page 19: Maneuvering The Saw
Operation Maneuvering the Saw NOTICE: Raise the blade as high as possible when maneuvering so that the blade will not strike the pavement. The blade is spinning whenever the saw is running. WARNING The speed control lever for the hydrostatic transmission is adjusted at the factory to provide approximately 40 ft/min maximum in forward and 20 ft/min maximum in reverse with the engine running at full throttle. -
Page 20: Aligning The Saw With A Marked Line
Operation Saw only as deep as the specifications and job conditions require. Remember, airflow helps to cool the blade during dry cutting. Cutting too deep with one pass, or exerting excessive forward or side pressure can be dangerous. Step cut in increments of 2 inches (50 mm) or less, for the best results. -
Page 21: Sawing A Straight Line
Operation If the saw should stall for any reason, raise the blade out of the cut before restarting the engine! When lowering the blade into a partially made cut, the blade must be perfectly aligned within the cut before starting to saw again. DO NOT force the blade into the material by lowering the blade too fast. -
Page 22: Cutting With The Blade On The Left Side
Operation 5.1 Cutting with the Blade on the Left Side Left side cutting can be easily accomplished by moving the blade guard to the left hand side of the saw belt guard using the following steps: 5.12.1 Turn kill switch to off position. 5.12.2 Disconnect water hose from blade guard. -
Page 23: Maintenance
Maintenance Maintenance Periodic maintenance including cleaning, lubrication, tensioning of drive belts, and inspection for wear and damage are routine servicing procedures. Following the procedures as outlined in the following table can prevent serious damage or malfunctioning of the machine and aid in preserving the useful life of saw blades.

Page 24: Engine Maintenance
Maintenance Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. If the engine must be run after a maintenance operation make sure the area is WARNING well ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas! Exposure can cause loss of consciousness and may result in death. -
Page 25: Controls
Maintenance Controls Stiff or sluggish response of controls must be corrected immediately. Periodically clean and lubricate the throttle cable, the throttle and choke controls. The frequency of this maintenance will depend on the utilization rate and the amount of dust. After performing any maintenance on controls, saw responsiveness must be checked before the initiation of sawing operations. -
