Pre-Setup
WARNING -
Whenever cleaning, adjusting or lubricating any part of the saw, MAKE CERTAIN to place the power ON/ OFF switch in the OFF position and disconnect the plug from the power source.
Assembly (Electric Powered Saws Only)
1.Remove the MP2 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 6) 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.

5.Insert the water pump power plug into the outlet receptacle on the electric motor conduit box as shown in Figure 7.

Conveyor Cart Placement
1.Place the conveyor cart across the water tray as shown in Figure 8. Align the wheels of the cart with the outer edge of the water tray. Push the cart back and forth, it should move freely in both directions.
