Installing the coolant kit

Refer to

 for a complete view of the compo-

nents in the coolant kit, and refer to

 Figure 17 

for the

attachment of the valve to the valve bracket on the
guide bearing seat.
1.  Install the baffle in the tank so the pump is held at
one end.
2.  Install the 90 degree elbow and one of the hose
fittings in the bottom of the coolant pump.
3.  Install one end of the coolant hose on the pump
fitting.
4.  Put the pump in the tank and put the assembly
into the tray underneath the saw base.  Flanges are
on the tray to keep the coolant tank in position.
5.  Put the valve into the holder on the right blade
guide assembly and secure it with the set screw on
the holder.  Position the valve so the handle is easy
to operate.
6.  Install the nozzle into the valve.
7.  Install the hose fitting into the valve.
8.  Route the hose to the hose fitting on the valve and
install it on the fitting.
9.  Fill the tank with enough coolant to flow over the
baffle in the tank.
10.  Put the valve handle in OFF position -- at right
angle to the direction of flow through the valve.
11.  Install the coolant return hose and fitting to the
trough and route the return hose to the tank.
12.  Connect the pump to its electrical source.

Note:  The pump cable is supplied with a
standard plug for a 120V single phase grounded
branch receptable.  Always use a grounded
receptable for this purpose.

Figure 17: Installing the valve in the valve bracket --
1: Install the valve, back end first, into the bracket.
2: Secure it with the set screw after being sure the
handle can turn its full 1/4 turn.
3:  Install the nozzle on the front of the valve, then
install the hose fitting and hose on the back end of
the valve.

Machine set-up

Uncrating and spotting the saw

The saw was operated and adjusted by the

manufacturer.  Therefore no saw adjustment should be
required, and the only set-up procedures are as
follows:
1.  Remove the saw from the box .
2.  Remove the rubber shipping plug on the top of the
gearbox and replace it with the permanent metal
breather plug supplied.
3.  Plug the saw into a suitable service branch.  The
saw is a 120V single phase motor and the motor
cable has a standard 3-prong grounded plug installed.

Caution

 Always connect the plug to a grounded branch
circuit.
If local regulations required that the saw be
permanently wired, or if the environment in
which the saw is used makes this advisable,
the connection should only be made by a
licensed electrician who is familiar with all
national and local electrical codes.
 The service disconnect should have an
external ON/OFF switch or lever which permits
the saw operator to disconnect branch power
to the saw during set-up and maintenance
operations as described in this manual.

Wiring diagram

The motor standard on the saw is a 120V single

phase, 1750RPM motor which can also be
reconfigured for 240V operation.  If the saw will be
used on a 240V single phase branch circuit, the
electrician will find a diagram for reconfiguring the
motor wiring underneath the motor terminal plate.

The wiring diagram here is included for refer-

ence when replacing the motor, ON/OFF switch or
cable.  These operations should be performed only by
a licensed electrician.
