4.Make sure you have proper eye protection on before operating the saw.
5.Turn on the saw. The black control knob is located on the left side of the saw. Please note the saw has a variable speed motor. You need to turn the knob slowly until you reach your desired sawing speed. It is not necessary to run your saw at full speed to achieve maximum cutting ability. In fact running the saw at full speed on a continual basis cases extra stress on the blade and does not increase its cutting ability.
6.Adjust the flow of coolant onto the blade by slowly turning the coolant flow adjustment screw. Coolant flow rate should be about one drop of coolant every
7.With the saw now running, place a scrap piece of material flat on the work table in front of the blade. Using light pressure, guide the material into the blade. It is important not to force or push material into the diamond blade . Once you have the right "feel", the blade will seem like it is pulling material into it. Pushing into the blade will not increase cutting speed and is more likely to bog it down. Use the speed control to adjust the sawing speed to the material being cut and intricacy involved. The tighter the cut, the slower the speed needed to maintain control and not twist the blade.
8.Your blade will last longer if you do not let the motor run idly. The continuous bending and unbending that the metal experiences as it moves over the wheels causes the blade to work harden and become brittle over time. A properly used blade will often fail from this work hardening before the diamonds wear out. To maximize the value of your blade, make sure you are using the diamonds every time you make that metal bend and unbend.
9.Shut off the coolant flow after use. Frequently check the reservoir level while sawing and fill as needed.
Using the WoodCut™ or MetalCut™ Blade
If you have purchased a saw with a WoodCut™ blade or are installing a WoodCut™ or MetalCut™ blade onto your saw, follow the instructions outlined here for proper use.
1)If your saw was set up for wet sawing using a diamond blade, make sure the flow adjustment screw that controls the water drip rate is completely turned off. Drain the water coolant reservoir. Remove the drain hose and dry out the interior of the saw.
2)Install the blade with the teeth pointing downward. Refer to installing the blade on page 3.
3)Plug the saw into a grounded outlet.
4)Wear safety eye protection while operating the saw.
5)Turn the saw on. The black control knob is on the left of the saw. Please note that the saw has a variable speed motor. When turning the saw on, turn the speed up slowly to your desired sawing speed. It is not necessary to run the saw at full speed to cut. In fact, running the saw at full speed on a continual basis will cause extra stress on the blade and does not increase its cutting ability.
6)With the saw now running, place a scrap piece of material flat on the work table in front of the blade. Using light pressure at first, slowly guide the material into the blade. It is important not to force material into the blade. Allow the blade to do the work. As you get the right "feel", the blade will seem to pull the material into it.
