7. Line up the straight edge along the outside face of both pulleys as shown in the
drawing.
8. Misalignment will show up as a gap between the pulley face and the
straight edge.
9. Make sure that the width of the outside land (Area between the belt and the edge
of the pulley) is equal on both pulleys.
D. Depth Control
The cutting depth is controlled by a chrome turn handle. It is located next to the
push handle base, easily accessible from the rear of the saw. The handle must first
be unlocked before it can be turned. It is locked by a black knob located on the
operator’s left side of the hand wheel near the base of the handle. This knob must
be turned counter-clockwise to unlock the handle. Once unlocked rotating the
handle clockwise will lower the cutting blade. Rotating it counter-clockwise will raise
the cutting blade. When the proper cutting depth is achieved by reading the depth
gauge, relock the turn handle to ensure a constant cutting depth throughout the cut.
The depth gauge can be found further down the shaft of the turn handle. This gauge
will already be preset for an Ø10" blade, but it still must be calibrated by the user
since blade diameters may vary. When using an Ø8" blade, the gauge must be
readjusted from an Ø10" blade to an Ø8" blade. Simply loosen the black knob found
near the collar of the gauge and slide it accordingly to achieve the proper reading.
The collar used to support the turn handle's screw should be checked after each use
to make sure it is lubricated and turning freely. If more lubricant must be added,
NLGI #2, aluminum complex type grease is recommended.
E. Cleaning
It is recommended to wipe all concrete dust off of the unit after each use. Once a
month blow the motor and motor fan off with compressed air. Do not pressure wash
the motor, switch boxes, electrical connects, bearings, belts, or bellows as damage
by occur. Damage caused by pressure washing is not covered under any warranty.
