FS2 CONCRETE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION
FAMILIARIZATION
The MQ Whiteman FS2 Series Concrete Saws are designed for wet or dry cutting utilizing diamond blades. They have been engineered for general, industrial and high production flat sawing applications. The exceptional performance of these saws centers around innovative features, top quality components, and committed attention to
The reinforced heavy gauge steel frame and chassis assembly has been precisely jig welded to eliminate operational bending and/or flex that would lead to diminished blade performance. Additionally, the general
An innovative outboard blade shaft bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter and shaft harmonics providing the most advantageous condition for a diamond blade at operating speeds. Heavy duty front and rear axles, oversized reinforced wheels supported by roller wheel bearings and locking collars, and industrial under carriage assembly ensure accurate tracking and years of reliable use.
The positive locking Raise/Lower screw feed system with accurate depth gauge easily orients blade elevation, and will not permit blade creep during cutting operations.
A unique water plumbing system allows for independent orientation of either fluted floodwater to the blade for wet cutting applications or cones of aerosol mist to diminish material dust when dry cutting.
Operator control of the saw is safely accomplished with adjustable ergonomic handle bars, and a combination of conveniently oriented items on the console such as: Raise/Lower Handle, Tachometer/ Hourmeter,
All FS2 saws are designed, engineered and manufactured with strict adherence to American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) guidelines B7.1 and B7.5.
POWER PLANTS
The FS2 Saw Series provides a variety of gasoline engine choices (Table 3). Selection of a specific engine, and its capacity measured in horsepower/torque, directly affects the performance of the diamond blade.
The FS2 series is generally classified in the industry as a "LOW to MEDIUM " horsepower saw. This classification is particularly useful when selecting the proper diamond blade for an application. Refer to the engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions regarding engine operation and maintenance practices.
