Preparing to Saw
Place a container on the floor. Put the end of your long drain hose into the container.
Important: Fill the base up to the
overflow with water. The water
provides cooling for the blade and
extends guide life.
Overflow
®
Gryphon
Diamond
Wire-Saw
made in U.S.A.
Oil both 1/4" shafts frequently
Do not run with cover off
Wear Eye Protection
Do not remove Finger Guard
Used water valve
Fill the water tray 3/4 full with water
Unscrew the water tray screw until water begins to
flow onto the blade. Unscrewing further increases
the water flow.
Wear eye protection. Turn the switch on and you may
begin sawing. You may push the glass in any direction.
When sawing is finished, screw in the water tray screw
until water no longer flows onto the blade.
At the end of the day, you can drain the water in the
base by unscrewing the base screw until water begins
to flow through the long hose into the container on the
floor.
Start up Maintenance
It is necessary to keep the two steel vertical shafts lubricated with light oil. If your shafts do not feel oily to the touch, wipe
Sewing Machine Oil or other light oil on them with your fingers. Do not use vegetable oil. Do not use spray lubricants.
These shafts are ground to micro finish in order to make your blade chuck last a long time. If you allow your shafts to rust or
become dry you will drastically reduce the blade chuck life.
Sawing
Put on eye protection. Start the water flow to the blade. The water feed hose should touch the blade. Turn the switch on
and saw in any direction.
Pulling the glass towards you pulls the blade away from the water feed and may make it difficult to see your pattern line. If
this happens, increase the water flow by unscrewing the water tray feed screw a little more.
As you near the end of your cut, ease off on the pressure you apply to the glass to minimize risk of breakage.
