OPERATING
•
Tighten the blade shaft bolt firmly using the blade shaft
wrench while resistance between diamond blade and
ground helps to achieve proper and final tightening.
•
Lower blade guard front and position the blade guard latch
on the blade guard front bolt. Tighten the blade guard front
bolt.
•
Test run the machine and check that no unusual sounds
occur. Unusual sounds are a sign of an incorrectly
mounted blade.
Install the blade guard
Slip on blade guards are secured with a blade guard lock
which engages the rear half of the blade guard.
Do not operate this saw without the lock engaged. Inspect
blade guards and locks frequently. Do not use if damaged.
Lower the guard onto the support spade and use moderate
force to press down the blade guard until lock engages.
Remove the blade guard
1
Disconnect the water hose from the blade guard.
2
Remove the bolt holding the blade guard.
3
Move the blade guard lock forward until it stops and
unlatches. Lift the blade guard with its handle off the
support spade.
Blade cutting depth
This saw is equipped with a Blade Depth Indicator which
indicates the depth at which the blade is cutting. This saw also
includes a Blade Depth Stop which stops the cutting depth of
the blade at a specific depth.
For more information about maximum cutting depth for
different blade sizes, see section ”Blades”
Use of the Blade Depth Indicator
•
If the engine is running, turn the Engine start switch to the
OFF position to stop the engine.
•
Turn the engine start switch to the ON position.
•
Lower the saw by pushing the Raise/lower switch on the
Forward/Reverse control lever downwards until the blade
touches the surface to be cut. This will be the reference
point.
NOTICE! Do not operate this saw without the latch engaged
and the bolt installed. Do not use if damaged.
NOTICE! Only saw as deep as the job specifications require
since deeper sawing can cause structural strength
problems.
