MP2 MASONRY SAW — OPERATION

Operation

DANGER - Amputation Hazard

ALWAYS be alert to the fact that there is a rotating blade on the saw and be extremely aware of your body position - especially your hands in relationship to the rotating blade. The possibility exists of severe bodily harm even death if your body comes in contact with the rotating saw blade.

The MP2 Masonry Saw has two methods availible for cutting: Using the step pedal to lower the blade into the material or fixing the height of the blade before cutting using the raise/ lower crank handle to allow for a constant cutting depth.

"Fixed Height" Cutting Method

1.Using the Raise/Lower Crank Handle, located above the step pedal, turn the handle CLOCKWISE to LOWER the saw blade to the required depth (Figure 24).

Turn the handle COUNTER- CLOCKWISE to RAISE the saw blade to the required depth.

Figure 24. Raise/Lower Crank Handle

2.Place the material to be cut (Figure 25) on the conveyor cart against the backstop.

4.Push the conveyor cart, with the material in place, slowly and evenly until the cut is complete. When finished cutting, move the cart back and remove the cut pieces.

CAUTION - Dry Cutting Guidelines

NEVER lift the blade guard while the blade is rotating.The possibility exists of severe bodily harm if fingers or hands come in contact

with the rotating saw blade. Wait for the blade to stop rotating before lifting the blade guard.

"Step Pedal" Cutting Method

1.Place the material to be cut (Figure 25) on the conveyor cart against the backstop.

2.With the blade away from the material to be cut, start the Motor (or Engine) using the steps listed in the Startup/Shutdown Procedure (Electric Motors or Gasoline Engine).

3.Move the conveyor cart, with the matrial in place, under the blade. Using your foot, depress the step pedal using a slow even pressure to lower the blade for cutting (Figure 26).

Jamming the blade into the

NOTEobject being cut will reduce the life of the blade and could damage the blade or material.

4.When finished cutting, slowly lift your foot up to raise the blade away from the conveyor cart and your cut material. Hold on to the mounting plate handle to prevent the plate from rising rapidly, possibly causing the saw to become unstable. DO NOT remove your foot from the step pedal until the blade has fully raised.
