CONNECT TO WATER SUPPLY
Following are the basic instructions to assure correct water supply to the saw.
ICS® diamond saws require a continuous water supply to the guidebar and
chain
. A key purpose of the supply water is dust suppression. The potential for
airborne particulates depends on many factors including, but not limited to, the
material being cut, application and cutting environment. In all cases, assure that
the water supply is capable of delivering 1.5 bar (20 psi) pressure to the saw at a
minimum flow rate of 4 lpm (1gpm).
NOTE: Local and/or regional regulation can vary widely. It is the responsibility of the
operator to wear appropriate dust protection applicable in their area and suitable to
the application.
Never operate saw with insufficient water supply.
Insufficient water supply will result in excessive wear to the chain, which can
lead to excessive stretch, chain breakage and/or damage to the guidebar nose
sprocket.
Attach to water supply capable of delivering 1.5 bar
(20 psi) pressure to the saw at a minimum flow rate
of 4 lpm (1 gpm). The single most important factor
an operator can control to increase chain life is to
use adequate water pressure.
