PRE-SETUP

WARNING

Whenever cleaning, adjusting or lubricating any part of the saw, MAKE CERTAIN to stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.

Assembly (Gasoline Powered Saws Only)

1.Remove the MP1 saw from its container and place it on a suitable table or platform. Make sure the table or platform can support the weight of the saw.The saw platform should be rigid and stationary so that it will not move, sag, or sway due to the vibrations and movements of the saw.

2.If using the MP1 series support stand kit (P/NTRAK14SS), attach stand to the under-side of the water tray. Follow the instructions supplied with the support stand kit when attaching it to the water tray.

3.The gasolinepoweredsawusesamechanicalwaterpump. This pump operates by drawing power from the driveV-belts, and has been adjusted and locked for wet cutting operation when shipped from the factory.

4.Fill the water tray with clean fresh water. The water pump intake (strainer) must always be fully covered by water to operate effectively. Also, keep the pump intake free of sludge, debris and other materials that may accumulate in the tray.

5.Make certain that the water hose will not come in contact with the blade or interfere with any moving parts. The best location for the water pump/strainer is between the splash shield and the rear of the water tray. This will prevent some of the abrasive particles from flowing through the pump.

CAUTION

ALWAYS position the strainer in the water tray in a manner that will allow the free movement of the conveyor cart, and clearance from the cutting blade and cutting action.

The MP1 gasoline model utilizes some of the same procedures that are used for the MP1 electric models. Please reference pages
