intenDeD uSe
Operate the SP1 Saw, tools and components in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools
for stated operation is considered contrary to designated
use. The risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result
of misuse.
general inFormation
The SP1 Saws are designed for wet or dry cutting of
concrete or asphalt utilizing Diamond Blades. These saws
have been engineered for general and industrial flat sawing
applications.The reinforced steel box frame design adds
strength necessary to reduce blade vibrations while cutting.
By minimizing blade vibrations the performance of the blade
is enhanced and thus the life of the blade is extended.
Heavy-duty front and rear axles, sturdy oversized wheels,
and industrial undercarriage assembly ensure accurate
tracking and years of reliable use.
Additionally, the general strength-to-weight ratio design
of the frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum
weight distribution to keep the blade running true in the cut.
A rugged spindle bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter
and shaft harmonics providing the most advantageous
condition for a diamond blade at operating speeds.
This saw comes equipped with an 18-inch blade guard and
handles Diamond Blades ranging in size from 12-18-inches
in diameter.

power plantS
The SP1 saw is generally considered a "low" powered saw
in the industry. This classification is particularly useful when
selecting the proper diamond blade for an application.
This SP1 saw is powered by a HONDA GX390U1QWT2
air cooled, 4-stroke, single cylnder, OHV gasoline engine
rated at 11 HP (8.2 kW) at 3,600 RPM.
Refer to the HONDA Engine Owner's Manual for specific
information regarding engine operation and maintenance
procedures.
BlaDe rotation
Three premium 3VX belts connecting a properly sized drive
(engine) pulley and an output blade shaft pulley provides
the rotational power of the diamond blade. Specific pulley
diameters have been chosen to support the design of the
SP1 saw.
Ultimate blade shaft RPM speed is very important for the
safe, efficient operation of the diamond blade in the cut.
all Sp1 SawS are designed, engineered and
manufactured with strict adherence to american
national Standards institute, inc. (anSi) guidelines
B7.1 and B7.5.
