Operation/maintenance

operation

WARNING

ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while operating this equipment.

NOTICE

MAKE CERTAIN to raise the spindle high enough for the blade to clear the pavement.

WARNING

MAKE CERTAIN the saw path is clear of debris and obstructions to prevent tripping and/or falling onto the saw, and to prevent debris from hitting the blade.

1.To begin sawing, lower the rotating blade allowing it to cut to the preset depth.

2.When the blade has reached full cutting depth, slowly walk behind the saw at a rate that will allow the motor to operate without losing optimum RPM.

CAUTION

DO NOT try to cut faster than the blade will allow. Cutting too fast will cause the blade to rise up out of the cut. Improper cutting rate can decrease the life of the motor and blades.

NOTICE

Mark the cutting line clearly.ONLY saw in a straight line.

3.When the end of the cut has been reached, raise the blade out of the cut by pulling back on the handlebars (using a downward pressure) until the raise/lower rod drops into its slots with the blade in the raised position.

4.If cutting is complete, turn the motor off and wait for the blade to stop rotating.

stopping the saw

1.Place the electric motor’s ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.

2.Disconnect the electric motor’s extension cord from its power source.

maintenance

WARNING

ALWAYS ensure that the motor ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position, the power cable is unplugged, and that the arbor shaft has COMPLETELY STOPPED ROTATING before performing any of the following operations:

Removing or installing blades Adjusting front or rear pointers Lubricating any components Removing motor mounting bolts

Inspecting, adjusting, or replacing drive belt, arbor shaft, or arbor shaft bearings

Saw Blade Removal and Installation

See "Blade Removal and Replacement" section in this manual.

Front Pointer Adjustment

CAUTION

ALWAYS ensure that unit is unplugged (disconnected) when installing blade.

The front pointer wheel has been set at the factory. Use these procedures only if the pointer is suspect of being out of alignment.

1.Chalk out a straight line on the prepared slab or cutting surface.

2.Use a 4 foot straight-edge or level by placing it flat against the blade.

3.Adjust the front pointer wheel so it just touches the side of the straight-edge or level.

4.Remove the straight-edge or level.

5.Position the front pointer and blade directly over the chalk line.

6.Start the saw and lower the blade onto the chalk line.

7.Begin cutting and make sure the blade follows the chalk line as closely as possible.

8.The pointer should follow the chalk line as well. If it does not, adjust the pointer by loosening then tightening the jam nuts on the pointer until the pointer follows the same path as the blade.
