Assembling/Installing Equipment
Wall Mounting
There are two types of wall mounting brackets for the
DIMAS WS 400 series. One, which utilizes the standard
track bracket, but has a spacer to elevate the saw head
to allow enough clearance for the 360° arm to
rotate and not hit any obstructions. This track bracket
can be used on earlier versions without the spacer. The
second bracket is longer, however can only be used with
the 460 saws. (Available July 2005)
CAUTION
The DIMAS WS 400 series may only be used
with the two track brackets described above.
Older Dimas track brackets are similar to the
new standard track brackets, but have a
longer base. This bracket must not be used
with the WS 400 series as there is a risk that
the arm catches on the base of the mounting.
1. Mount track brackets onto surface to be cut using
1/2” (12mm) size expansion anchors. Torque down
the mounting nut (or bolt) to ensure the anchor
has good holding strength and will not pull out.
2. If the anchor pulls out when being torqued down or
when mounting on brick, block or hollow precast
walls it may be necessary to “through-bolt” with a
piece of “all-thread” and a large backing plate
installed on the opposite side of the wall (see Fig. A).
3. Use of three (3) track brackets is required when using
large diameter blades on 90” (2.3m) and 120” (3.1m)
long tracks, when operating WS 400 series wall saws,
9
when mounting any saw on 120” (3.1m) long tracks
and when heavy cutting conditions are encountered
(extremely hard aggregate, high steel
concentrations).
4. Leveling screws should be utilized in all mounting to
help ensure the track brackets remain stable
through out the cutting operation.
