Multiquip FS3SP Factors for sawing economy, Finishing a Cut, Diamond Blades and Blade Speed

FS3SP CONCRETE SAW — OPERATION

WARNING

If the engine stalls for any reason during sawing, raise the blade out of the cut before restarting.

10.The operator must recognize and adhere to the optimum speed that the saw advances while sawing. DO NOT force the saw in the cut. Observe the engine tachometer from time to time to get the feel for a smooth sawing pace relative to RPM.

11.Factors for sawing economy:

zType of Blade

zDepth of Cut

zSawing Speed

zCharacteristics of the Material Being Cut

zWet or Dry Sawing

Finishing A Cut

1.Raise the blade out of the cut by cranking the Raise/Lower handle counter-clockwise(Figure 5, item 10). Raise the blade

high enough out of the cut to clear the surface and allow the saw to be maneuvered.

2.Move the engine throttle lever to the idle (SLOW) position (Figure 22).

3.Push the console engine ON/OFF button to the “OFF” position (Figure 5, item 1).

4.Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position (Figure 6, item 3).

5.Place the water valve (Figure 5, item 3) in the “OFF” position (as required).

WARNING

Engine components can generate extreme heat.

Diamond Blades and Blade Speed

1.Diamond sawing consist of cutting WET (using water to cool the blade) or DRY (using the circulating air to cool the blade).

2.Selecting the diamond blade type and grade defines how the blade will perform both in cutting speed and blade life.

MULTIQUIP offers a full line of quality diamond blades to match up with your FS3SP, that provide the highest level of sawing value 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.

z	FS3SP	14” Capacity-3,200 RPM.
z	FS3SP	20” Capacity-2,600 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.
