OPERATOR’S MANUAL
6
• Always disconnect the air supply and relieve pressure from supply lines
before performing maintenance on the saw.
• Diamond chains and guidebar require a minimum water pressure of 20 psi
(1.4 bar). Insuffi cient water supply may result in excessive wear to the
guidebar or diamond chain, which can lead to loss of strength and diamond
chain breakage and damage the bar.
• When operating a compressor with greater than 90 psi (6 bar) it is
recommended to use a “service unit with pressure regulator” in line to
prevent over speeding the saw.
