2. Operating Instructions
•
The wooden skids on which the saw is mounted,
should be left permanently attached to the saw
legs.
•
Remove the loose bolt in the cross tube. Raise the
tilting bar and connecting link to the upright
position, so that the bolt may be installed and
tightened.
•
Before placing the cutting head on the frame, make
sure that the bearing rests are clean. Tighten hold-
down straps over bearings securely. Install the
connecting bar to the rear underside of the cutting
head by inserting the pin through the lugs and
connecting bar.
•
Fasten the "Quick Disconnect" fitting on the
connecting link to the ball on the blade guard by
pulling back on the spring loaded sleeve while it is
placed over the ball; then release it. The length of
the link has been factory set for best blade guard
position. Adjustment may be modified should other
settings be desired by loosening the lock nuts at
the front and rear, and lengthening or shortening
the length of the link.
•
For wet cutting, fill the water reservoir pan to within
one inch of the top. Be sure the water pump in-
take is fully covered by water at all times. Keep the
pump in-take free of accumulated sludge, and
other foreign material.
•
FELKER single phase masonry saws are furnished
with the correct approved NEMA configuration plug
on the motor pigtail; the plug appropriate for the
voltage to which the motor is set. It will be
necessary to proved a matching NEMA
configuration connector on the extension cord into
which the pigtail from the motor is plugged. For
example: a 5 HP saw set for 230 Volt operation in
supplied with a NEMA #L6-30P plug on the pigtail.
The extension cord will require an L6-30C to make
the proper connection. Bear in mind, for the user
to meet the Code, the plug on the extension cord
should also be a NEMA number L6-30P, and
receptacle in the box into which this will be plugged
should be a NEMA number L6-30R.
