Operating Instructions
• FOR WET CUTTING: Attach the water supply. A ow rate of approximately 2 gallons per minute
(minimum) is required. Attach the water hose to the coolant valve. Use the valve to control the
ow of water.
• FOR DRY CUTTING: Provide a respirator and dust control system.
• FOR GASOLINE MODELS: Put the engine stop switch and the machine stop switch in the “RUN”
position. Consult the engine manufacturers operating instructions and follow the directions for starting
and breaking in the engine.
• BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE OR MOTOR: Raise the saw blade clear of the working surface.
The blade is raised using the depth control handwheel knob mounted on the lower handle assembly
(Figure 2)
. Lift the knob to unlock and turn the handwheel clockwise until the blade is clearly
o the ground
(Figure 3)
.
• START ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING SPEED: Position the saw over the cutting
line. Bring the engine to full speed. Lower the blade into the slab surface by slowly turning the depth
control handwheel knob. NOTE - the 14 inch blade has a maximum cutting depth of 4 3/4”. Do not
allow the arbor anges to contact slab surface.
When the selected cutting depth is reached, lock the depth control handwheel knob and proceed to
push the saw forward. The saw blade must remain straight, do not twist, and do not force blade, the
engine or motor should not strain when cutting.
• TO STOP THE MACHINE: Stop forward motion. Push the throttle to idle. Turn the depth control
handwheel knob clockwise to raise the blade clear of the cut. Turn ignition or power switch
o and let the engine come to a complete stop. Turn o the water supply.
• WHEN MANEUVERING THE SAW: Make sure the blade is raised high enough so it does not strike
the slab surface. Damage to blade may occur with inadvertent contact with the slab or other object.
• DO NOT FORCE BLADE WHILE CUTTING.
• IF THE POWER SOURCE STALLS IN THE CUT: Raise the blade completely out of the cut.
Disconnect the power source (i.e. the spark plug wire on a gasoline engine or disconnect an electric
model at the machine). Inspect the blade ange nut/bolt to verify that they are still tight, and inspect
the blade for damage. Replace damaged (or questionable) blades immediately.
• WHEN TRANSPORTING THE SAW: Be sure to remove the blade. Before removing the blade,
disconnect the power source before lifting or removing any guard. See the directions for Changing
Blades on
(page 8)
.
• WHEN STORING THE SAW: Loosen handle locks. Pull handle up and rotate forward
