PAGE 16 — MP2 SERIES MASONRY SAW • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #3 (10/17/17)
SET-UP
ASSEMBLY (ELECTRIC POWERED SAWS ONLY)
1. Remove the MP2 Masonry Saw from its container and
place it on a stable, level surface. Make sure location
you choose can support the weight of the saw. The saw
location should be rigid and stationary so that the saw
will not move, sag, or sway due to the vibrations and
movements of the saw.
2. Connect the barb fitting to the water pump. Attach the
clear plastic water hose (Figure 5) coming from the
blade guard to the water pump.
3. Fill the water tray with
clean fresh water
. The
water
pump intake must always be fully covered by water
.
Also, keep the pump intake free of sludge, debris and
other materials that may accumulate in the tray.
4. Make certain that the water hose will not come in
contact with the blade or interfere with any moving
parts. The best location for the water pump/strainer is
between the splash shield and the rear of the water
tray. This will prevent some of the abrasive particles
from flowing through the pump.
