GENERAL INFORMATION

MP2 Saw

The MP2 Saw is designed for vigorous wet-cutting masonry applications.The heavy-duty steel conveyor cart and ball bearing roller wheels ensure material stability and smooth travel. In addition a reinforced jig-welded steel frame provides rigidity for cutting accuracy and long service life.

This saw is available with either an electric motor or a gasoline engine. Two heavy duty electric motors are available: a 5 HP 230V single phase or 5 HP 230V three phase, all with overload protectiom.

If desired, the MP2 Saw can be configured with a 9.0 HP Honda GX270 gasoline engine.

All MP2 saw models include a high flow water pump, cutting jig, water hoses and associated plumbing to enable the operator to begin wet cutting.

Dry Cutting Applications

The MP2 Saw masonry saw is shipped from the factory for wet- cutting saw applications, however it can be used for dry-cutting saw applications (see dry-cutting saw applications in this manual).The most important thing to remember is to disconnect the water pump.The water pump is cooled by the flow of water, and failure to disconnect the pump (when running dry) will cause pump failure. NEVER! have the water pump engaged when dry cutting applications are involved.

Blade Applications

This saw has been designed to incorporate the use of diamond blades as the cutting tool.The optimum performance of this saw is best evidenced by using 20-inch (508 mm) diamond blades that match the material being cut. Ask your dealer, or call Multiquip about your specific cutting application.
