STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION

Intended Use

Operate the CUTTER 1 CE Saw, tools and components in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools for stated operation is considered contrary to designated use. The risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result of misuse.

This saw is not intended for dry cutting.

General Information

The STOW CUTTER 1 CE saws are designed for wet 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 blade vibrations while cutting. By minimizing blade vibrations the performance of the blade is enhanced and thus the life of the blade is extended.

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

Additionally, the general strength-to-weight ratio design of the frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum weight distribution to keep the blade running true in the cut. A rugged spindle bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter and shaft harmonics providing the most advantageous condition for a diamond blade at operating speeds.

The CUTTER 1 CE series saw comes equipped with an 18-inch blade guard and handles Diamond Blades ranging in size from 12- 18-inches in diameter.

An ACME thread, manual raise/lower assembly easily raises and lowers the blade and locks it into position to ensure a constant depth cut. All CUTTER 1 CE series saws are equipped with a retractable cutting guide, oversized roller bearing wheels, industrial spindle bearings, and a rigid steel frame.

Power Plants

The CUTTER 1 CE saw is classified in the industry as a "low" powered saw. This classification is particularly useful when selecting the proper diamond blade for an application.

The CUTTER 1 CE saw is powered by a HONDA GX-390 air cooled, 4-stroke, single cylnder, OHV gasoline engine rated at 13 HP (9.6 kW) at 3,600 RPM. Blade rotation is V-belt driven. The upper drive (engine) pulley on the output shaft of the engine connects to the lower drive (spindle) pulley and thus, the blade, by three V-Belts. As the engine shaft rotates, so does the blade.The ratio,ordifferencebetweentheenginespeedandthespindle(blade) speed is determined by the two different sizes of pulleys used.

Refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions regarding engine operation and maintenance practices.

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

Water System

All CUTTER 1 CE saws provide a hardy water plumbing system that evenly distributes water volume and optimum flow rate to both sides of the blade to keep it cool when cutting. The basic water system provides a valve that connects to a standard garden hose. The water is delivered (via a hose) to the saw blade. A water tank delivery system is optional.
