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).

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:

zDetermining WET or DRY cutting

zMaterial to be Cut

zType of Saw Being Used

zHorsepower of Saw

zHardness Characteristics of the Material

zPerformance Expectations

Factors for sawing economy:

zType of Blade

zDepth of Cut

zSawing Speed

zCharacteristics of the Material Being Cut

zWet 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.

zSP2 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.
