FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — OPERATION

Dry Saw Operation

WARNING

The operator must wear the appropriate protective equipment and clothing while engaged in sawing.

1.Ensure the proper DRY Cutting blade is selected for the job.

2.The preferred method of sawing is to step cut in increments of 2” (51 mm). “ Step-cutting” provides the optimum opportu- nity for the blade to cut fast and last its longest. Airflow acts as a blade coolant during sawing. Cutting too deep with one pass, or exerting excessive forward/side-ward pressure may damage the blade.

Finishing a Cut

1.Raise the blade out of the cut by utilizing the ball handle

adjustment assembly. Raise the blade high enough out of the cut to clear the surface and allow the saw to be maneu- vered.

2.Move the engine throttle lever to the idle (SLOW) position (Figure 20).

3.Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position (Figure 18).

4.Place the two-way water valve (Figure 6) in the “OFF” position .

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat.

Diamond Blades and Blade Speed

1.Diamond Sawing consists of cutting WET or DRY.

2.Matching the correct blade for the specific job and material being cut optimizes performance and value.

3.Selection of the proper diamond blade consists of:

zDetermining WET or DRY cutting

zMaterial to be Cut

zType of Saw Being Used

zHorsepower of Saw

zHardness Characteristics of the Material

zPerformance Expectations

4.Selecting the “grade” of diamond blade often defines the performance factors that can be achieved. Multiquip offers a variety of diamond blade grades to provide the desired level of valve and performance.

Blade Speed

1.A diamond blade’s performance is directly connected to specific peripheral (rim) speeds.

2.The following shaft rotational speeds have been factory set to ensure optimum blade performance.

zFS 1 14” Capacity-3,200 RPM.

zFS 1 18” Capacity-2,700 RPM.

WARNING

Operating saw blades at rotational speeds greater than those specified by the manufac- ture can cause blade damage, and may in- jure the user or others in the operating area.
