The Multiquip SP1E16A walk-behind saw is designed for wet or dry cutting of concrete or asphalt utilizing diamond blades. These saws have been engineered for general and industrial flat sawing applications.The reinforced steel box frame design adds strength necessary to reduce vibrations while cutting. Minimizing vibrations enhances the performance of the blade and extends the life of the saw.

Heavy-duty front and rear axles, sturdy oversized wheels, and industrial under carriage assembly ensure accurate tracking and years of reliable use.

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.

The SP1E16A saw comes standard with a 16-inch blade guard and can handle diamond blades ranging in size from 12-16-inch in diameter.

The blade shaft accommodates a 1" arbor.

An ACME thread, manual raise/lower assembly, easily raises and lowers the blade and locks it into position to ensure a constant depth cut.The SP1E16A is equipped with a retractable cutting guide, oversized roller bearing wheels, industrial blade shaft berings, and a rigid steel frame.

Power Plants

The SP1E16A saw 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 electric motor Owner's Manual for specific instructions regarding motor operation and maintenance practices.

The SP1E16A saw is powered by a 5.0 HP, 230 VAC single-

phase electric motor. Blade rotation is belt driven.

All Multiquip SP1E16A saws are designed, engineered and manufactured with strict adherence to American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) guidelines B7.1 and B7.5.

Water System

The SP1E16A saw provides a hardy water plumbing system that evenly distributes optimum water volume and flow rate to both sides of the blade to keep the blade cool when cutting.The basic water system consist of a standard "garden hose" valve that connects the water source (via a hose) to the saw.
