The saw consists of the following components parts:
1. Saw Carriage
A separate saw carriage is one of the new features
of the WS 400 series. A separate saw carriage
results in a system that is easier and faster to
setup than other saws. The saw carriage supplied is
adjusted at the factory. The saw carriage features
two levels to help facilitate mounting the track
straight when cutting horizontally and vertically.
2. Locking Handle
Used to lock the saw unit in the saw carriage.
3. Saw Head
Houses the feed motors for the saw’s travel and the
arm’s 360° rotation as well as two slip clutches that
prevent the saw from being damaged if it should jam.
4. Speed Valve
The speed of saw motor is controlled with this
valve. There are two or three positions of the motor
(depending on saw configuration). The speed of
rotation to be used depends on the blade size used.
5. Cutting Arm
The cutting arm allows blades up to 40” (1000 mm) to
be used as the start blade. The cutting arm can be
rotated 360° in either direction, which gives great
freedom when planning the cut. As the cutting arm
has been moved in 2.5” (63.5 mm) closer to the track
compared to earlier saw models, the forces that affect
the saw are reduced significantly, which give
straighter cuts and less friction losses between the
blade body and the cut.

6. Blade Guard Guide
The blade guard is suspended from this guide.
When the saw is to be lifted the blade guard
guide acts as a handle. The blade guard guide
also acts as a protective cage for the saw.
7. Track
The machine is supplied with two tracks, one 40”
(1m) and one 90”(2.3m).
8. Quick-Attach Blade Flange
The quick-attach blade flange is another new
feature on the WS 400 series. The flange unit can
be mounted on the blade before the blade is
fitted on the saw. Doing so permits easier
assembly of the blade on the saw especially when
flush cutting. The flange also is ready for flush
cutting by simply removing the outer blade flange.
9. Outer Blade Flange
Locks the saw blade on the quick-attach blade
flange.
10. Hydraulic Hose Connections
The hydraulic flow in the large hoses drives the
blade while the hydraulic flow in the smaller hose
drives the direction of the saw and the arm
rotation.
The hoses connected to the saw’s small female
couplings (closest to the arm) drive the arm
rotation while those connected to the small male
couplings (furthest from the arm) drive the saw
along the track.
11. Water Connector
Water coolant for the blade is connected here. In
addition to cooling blade, the water also helps to
control the dust.
