Multiquip SP2S13H20A manual Finishing a Cut, Extreme heat Diamond Blades, Blade Speed

OPERATION

Finishing A Cut

1.Raise the blade out of the cut by cranking the Raise/Lower handle COUNTER-CLOCKWISE(Figure 37). Raise the bladehighenoughoutofthecuttoclearthesurfaceandallow the saw to be maneuvered.

2.Move the engine throttle lever to the idle (SLOW) position (Figure 30, 33).

3.Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position (Figure 31, 34).

4.Place the water valve (Figure 44) in the OFF position (as required).

WARNING

Engine components can generate

EXTREME heat.

Diamond Blades

Diamond blade sawing consists of cutting WET (using water to cool the blade) or DRY (using the circulating air to cool the blade).

Selecting the diamond blade TYPE and GRADE defines how the blade will perform both in cutting speed and blade life.

Selection of the proper diamond blade consists of:

Determining WET or DRY cutting

Material to be Cut

Type of Saw Being Used

Horsepower of Saw

Hardness Characteristics of the Material

Performance Expectations

Factors for sawing economy:

Type of Blade

Depth of Cut

Sawing Speed

Characteristics of the Material Being Cut

Wet or Dry Sawing

Blade Speed

A diamond blade’s performance is directly connected to specific peripheral (rim) speeds.

The following shaft rotational speeds have been factory set to ensure optimum blade performance.

SP2S13H20A 20” Capacity - 2,800 RPM.

WARNING

Operating saw blades at rotational speeds greater than those specified by the manu- facture can cause blade damage, and may injure the user or others in the operating area.
