Tractive Support 

 

Remote control unit

 

 
The remote control unit is connected to the power pack through a Cannon connector. It is not 
possible to control any functions on the power pack unless the remote control is connected to the 
power pack. 

 
Available functions: 
 
Switch for Blade  
Motor ON/OFF:

  

First push forward and hold the switch for Water ON/OFF and then push 
the  Blade ON / OFF switch forward to start the blade. To stop the blade, 
push the  Blade ON / OFF switch forward once again. 

 

Switch for water valve:

   Move the switch forward to start and stop the water flow through the 

machine. The water flow will be switched on automatically when the blade 
is started. The water will be left running when the blade motor is stopped 
and the water must be switched off manually. 

 

Potentiometer for blade 
speed control

:   

The minimum speed is set at 70% of the maximum speed. Full power is 
available when the potentiometer knob is between 85 % and 100 % on 
the potentiometer scale. At its maximum CW position, i.e. 100%, the 
motor power output is slightly reduced, by approximately 0.4 kW. 

 

Potentiometer for feed 
and power regulation:

   As long as the blade is spinning in the air, the potentiometer is used only 

to control rapid feed of the machine. From the moment the blade touches 
the concrete and a preset amperage draw is exceeded, the potentiometer 
changes its function and is then used to control the power used to drive 
the blade.  
 
Between 80 - 100% the system will always try to reach maximum power. 
At 100 % the feed regulation is more aggressive than at 90 or 80%, but 
the machine will always try to reach maximum power also at the 80% or 
90% setting. If the potentiometer is turned below 80% the power output 
will be reduced correspondingly. 

 

Joystick for control  
of the movement of  
the saw head and  
radial arm:

  

Flick the joystick up or down to rotate the radial arm. Flick the joystick left 
or right to move the saw head along the track.
