If you have mounted a wet cutting Saw Blade, attach the Concrete Saw to a water
4.
supply. To do so, thread a standard garden hose onto the threads of the Swivel Hose
Fitting (26). The flow of water is regulated with the Service Lever (28). Make sure the
Service Lever is closed and turn on the water supply at the source. When the Service
Lever is in the “ON” position, the water will flow out of the Water Hose (29) and into the
Water Manifold (38) on the Blade Guard Assembly (36).
(See Figure D)
Turn the Hand Wheel (17) clockwise to raise the Saw Blade off the concrete surface.
5.
(See Figure D)
Lower the Saw Guide (21). Then lower the Pointer (24) and adjust the Pointer to guide
6.
the Concrete Saw along the cut line.
(See Figure D)
Start the Engine (30), and allow it to reach the appropriate operating temperature as
7.
instructed in the Engine manufacturer’s instruction manual.
WARNING! The Saw
Blade will immediately being to spin. Stand clear! Always operate the Saw at full
throttle.
Lower the Saw Blade slowly to make contact with the concrete surface by turning the
8.
Hand Wheel (17) counterclockwise until you have reached the desired depth (maximum
depth is 4-3/4”).
(See Figure D)
This is not a self-propelled machine. You must exert force to move the Concrete Saw.
9.
Slowly move the Concrete Saw forward with just enough pressure to make the Engine
labor. If the Engine begins to stall, you are moving too fast and you need to pull back.
IMPORTANT:
10.
Keep the Saw Blade perpendicular to the concrete surface. Avoid twisting or any
a.
excessive sideways motion which will stress the Saw Blade.
When cutting deep (4 inches or more), make several shallow passes at 1-1/2” to
b.
2” deep.
If the Engine stalls, use the Hand Wheels (17) and lift the Saw Blade completely
c.
out of the concrete surface before re-starting.
(See Figure D)
When finished cutting, turn the Hand Wheel (17) clockwise to raise the Saw Blade. Then
11.
turn off the Engine and the water supply.
(See Figure D)
Prior to moving the Concrete Saw away from the worksite, the Saw Guide (21) must
12.
be in its locked (upward) position and the Pointer (24) in its downward position.
(See
Figure D)
Always store the Concrete Saw in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and
13.
other unauthorized people.
