GENERAL INFORMATION

Intended Use

Operate the FCG16HA Saw, tools and components in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools for stated operation is considered contrary to designated use. The risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result of misuse.

This saw is not intended for wet cutting. (The use of water sprayed onto the tool [blade] during the cutting operation).

FAMILIARIZATION

This FCG16HA Saw is designed for dry sawing of concrete slabs utilizing diamond blades.The saw has been engineered for general and industrial flat sawing applications that include: Joint Sawing of Green Concrete, Decorative Sawing in Cured Concrete, Light Demolition Sawing and "V" Groove Beveling. The simple and compact nature of the FCG16HA makes it a perfect sawing tool for one person to operate and transport. The saw combines innovative features, top quality components, and a committed attention to state-of-the-art manufacturing.

For peak performance, the FCG16HA has been engineered to operate a powerful GX200 Honda Gasoline engine and 10" diameter diamond blades. This special design allows for fast/ clean cuts in different materials at depths from 1/4" to 3 1/4".

The jig-welded reinforced heavy gauge steel frame and chassis assembly are designed to eliminate operational bending and/or flex that would lead to diminished blade performance. Also, the frame's general weight-to-strength ratio and center mounted blade design ensure accurate tracking in the cut.

A robust blade shaft bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter and shaft harmonics providing the most advantageous conditions for a diamond blade at operating speeds.

Heavy-duty front and rear axles, polyurethane wheels with permanently sealed ball bearings, and solid undercarraige assembly provide years of reliable use. The FCG16HA incorporates an innovative PosiLok raise/lower control assembly that provides fingertip control of blade orientation, infinitely adjustable locking blade depth control, and depth feed gauge.

Retractable front & rear pointers with "tracking wheels" are provided to support precise straight sawing. This system permits the operator to quickly adjust the blade cutting depth and safeguard against "blade-creep" during sawing operations. For operator comfort and ease of transportation & storage, an adjustable locking handle bar is provided.

Operator control of the saws is safely accomplished with adjustable handle bars, and a conveniently oriented raise/lower lever and depth adjustment wheel. An engine-off switch (Item 22 Fig. 3) located next to the handle lock allows the operator to safely turn the engine off from the operator's position and away from moving parts.

ENGINE
