FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION

FAMILIARIZATION

The MQWhiteman FS1 Series Concrete Saws are designed for wet or dry cutting utilizing diamond blades. They have been engineered for general and industrial flat sawing applications. The exceptional performance of these saws centers around simple operating features, top quality components, and committed attention to state-of-the-art manufacturing. 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 weight-to-strength ratio design of the frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum weight distribution to keep the blade running true in the cut. A rugged 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, sturdy oversized wheels, and industrial under carriage assembly ensure accurate tracking and years of reliable use. A positive locking counter balance Raise/ Lower system with a depth meter easily orients blade elevation.

A hardy water plumbing system evenly distributes optimum water volume & flow rate to both sides of the blade. Operator control of the saw is safely accomplished with adjustable ergonomic handlebars.

All FS1 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 FS1 Saw Series provides a variety of gasoline engine choices. Selection of a specific engine, and its capacity measured in horsepower/torque, directly affects the performance of the diamond blade. The FS1 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. [See Table 3]
