Check the air supply for the correct pressure (90 PSI Min) and
rating (85 CFM Min).
6.3.3
Turn on air supply and check for leaks
6.3.4
Be sure to clean air hose to discharge any dirt, scale or moisture
(and do so before each use).
6.3.5
Connect the air hose and ensure proper couplings are used on
air lines - typically no fitting is smaller than 1/2”. Ensure the in-line oiler is
filled with pneumatic ice free oil.

WHILE OPERATING THE SAW
6.4.1
Before entering the blade into the material to be cut, squeeze
the trigger and allow the saw to reach full speed.
6.4.2
Ease the saw blade into the material to be cut.
6.4.3
At the end of the cut, lift the saw until the blade is clear of the
cut, then release the trigger.
6.4.4
Allow the blade to come to a complete stop before setting it
down.
6.4.5
Check the in-line oiler for oil level after 2-3 hours of operation.
6.5
AFTER OPERATING THE SAW
6.5.1
Shut off air supply and disconnect from saw.
6.5.2
Remove the air line and fit a protective cover over the air inlet.
6.5.3
Clean the saw by removing all accumulated dust.
6.5.4
Give the grease fitting a couple shots of grease after every 40
hours of operation.(gearbox saw only).
6.5.5
Pour a small amount of general purpose air tool oil into other
hose connector on the handle to flush out any moisture and lubricate the
motor.

INSTALLING OR REPLACING BLADE
6.6.1
Turn off and Disconnect air supply and remove arbor nut (left-
hand thread) and outer flange from shaft
6.6.2
Place blade on shaft and check that the directional arrow points
clockwise as you turn the shaft (counterclockwise on up cut saws)
6.6.3
Install outer flange and lock gearbox with lock pin button under
gearbox. Tighten arbor bolt with wrench provided. Release gearbox lock
and spin blade to inspect blade rotation is smooth and straight.

ASSEMBLY OF WATER TANK KIT
6.1.1
Attach the water tank frame to the saw’s chassis by sliding the
frame from the front towards the back. A 3” bolt will secure the top back
of the frame to the handle quadrant and two 5/16” bolts will attach the
front leg of the frame to the front of the chassis.
6.1.2
Mount the plastic water tank to the frame and secure it with 4
bolts. Attach one end of the water feed hose with the control valve to the
bottom of the water tank. The end with the “Y” should be attached to the
two 16” clear plastic tubings.
6.2
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
6.2.1
For shipping convienience, your saw (FSB-150) may have been
shipped without without the Handle Assembly, Jack Assembly and Pointer
attached.
6.2.2
INSTALL THE JACK ASSEMBLY: Release the 2 3/4” bolt on the
jack bracket from the saw chassis and the center bolt on the handle
quadrant. Rotate the crank on the jack assembly counterclockwise so that
the two pivot tubes line up with the nut on the jack bracket and the holes
of the center bolt. Notice that the upper pivot tube has to face down and
the lower pivot tube has to face up. First, insert the center bolt trough the
handle quadrant plates and the jack’s upper tube and tighten it. Then,
insert and tighten the bolt on the jack bracket through the lower pivot tube
until the bolt goes through the hole on the chassis.
6.2.3
INSTALL HANDLE ON THE HANDLE QUADRANT: Attach bar grip to
handle assembly. Adjust the water valve to a 45 degree position by loosen-
ing the bolt and adjusting the water valve bracket with the 45 degree cut
parallel to the handle, tighten the bolt. Pull out the knob’s bolt and the
edge bolt on the handle quadrant. Slide the handle assembly between the
two plates of the handle quadrant so that the two handle pivot tubes line
up with holes of the knob’s bolt and edge bolt. Bolt them up. Attach the
longer air hose on the handle assembly to the oiler on the saw.
6.2.4
INSTALL THE POINTER ON THE SAW: Pull out the 2 1/2” bolt on
the pointer base bracket. Place the pointer base bracket at the hole on the
chassis in front of the motor which is parallel to the chassis base. Insert
the bolt all the way through the blade guard and tighten up.
6.2.5
INSTALL OR REPLACE BLADE: Disconnect air supply. Remove
arbor nut (left-hand threads) and outer flange from shaft. Place blade
on shaft and check that the directional arrow points clockwise (counter-
clockwise on upcut saws) as you turn the shaft. Install outer flange and
hand tighten arbor nut (left-hand thread). Hold inner flange with supplied
2” wrench and tighten the arbor nut using 1” or 1 1/2” wrench supplied.
