Optional Leather Wiper
The leather wiper functions to help reduce the amount of over spray that might be carried from the blade to the upper wheel chamber. If you run the saw with a diamond blade, we recommend you install the wiper at this time. If you are using a WoodCut™ or MetalCut™ blade the wiper is not needed and you may omit this step.
Installing the Wiper:
1.Use a pair of pliers to compress one end of the leather wiper. Clamp down hard.
2.Apply a small amount of common bar soap to the crimped end.
3.Use your pliers to push the crimped end into the slot so that the edge of the leather just brushes against the blade. Make sure the wiper does not push the blade out of its normal path.
Using the Diamond Blade
If you have purchased a saw with a diamond blade or are installing a diamond blade for use on your saw, please follow the instructions outlined below for its proper use. Your saw must be converted for wet sawing before use.
1.Before sawing with a diamond blade, check to make sure the coolant reservoir, coolant hose holder and drain hose are installed on the saw (see steps above).
2.Make sure that the coolant flow adjustment screw on the back of the reservoir is closed shut and then fill the reservoir with water. You can fill the reservoir with plain water or add a capful of MTI Diamond Coolant (stock no. 50011).
3.Plug the saw into a grounded electrical outlet.
