ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
1)Determine the location of the fuel tank filler cap.
2)Carefully clean the filler cap and surrounding area to insure that no dirt or debris falls into the fuel tank. Remove the filler cap.
3)Using the funnel, fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel according to the specifications outlined in the material supplied by the engine manufacturer. Do not overfill the tank or spill any fuel. If the fuel tank incorporates a screen mesh to prevent debris from falling into the tank, do not remove to increase the fill rate. Replace the filler cap. Wipe away any excess spilled fuel.
DANGER
MANY FUELS ARE EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE FUEL TANK. DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING OR IF IT IS HOT. ALLOW AMPLE TIME BETWEEN EACH REFUELING FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL.
Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION.
The RCC130H Crack Saw operates on the principle of transmitting horsepower through a
The crack sawing process is directly controlled by these conditions:
a)The use of a suitable mechanism (diamond blade) of proper design and configuration to penetrate the work surface and remove material while delivering acceptable service life.
b)Sufficient static weight supporting the diamond blade to allow it to effectively penetrate the work surface and remove material.
c)Adequate horsepower capable of rotating the diamond blade at industry recognized speeds against the work surface to deliver acceptable productivity rates.
Since no two materials are exactly alike, no two work surface materials can be sawed by the exact same method. The nature of the sawing process, along with operator experience, skill and common sense, would suggest that efficient and productive crack sawing is a matter of trial and error. Combinations of diamond blade type, condition, and
feed rate are direct factors that will also determine the overall success of the job application.
INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE USE OF DIAMOND BLADES.
Safety requirements always override performance considerations. Diamond blade technology has made such rapid advances during the past few years that a diamond blade, properly used, on well designed and well maintained equipment, can provide the lowest cost per cut of any of the methods of cutting now in use. But, put that same blade onto a piece of poorly maintained equipment and in the hands of a poorly trained operator and the cost of cutting can virtually put you out of business.
The members of the Saw Manufacturer's Institute have been a significant contributor to the state of the diamond blade art. We hope that some of the knowledge and experience that we have accumulated in our many years in the business can, through this booklet, assist you in keeping your cost down to an absolute minimum.
Of all the problems that confront diamond blade users, blade wear is the most difficult to accurately evaluate. Reporting life performance of identical diamond blade specifications operating under seemingly identical conditions tend to be inconsistent.
Masonry blade operators frequently report blade life in terms of hours, days or weeks. However, these reports neglect to mention type of material being cut, the size of the cuts, and the number of cuts per day. In addition, the amount and the cleanliness of the water and the amount of pressure the operator applies to the cut have an effect on blade life.
Obviously, trying to compare the life of one diamond blade with another, simply on the basis of hours, is analogous to trying to compare a set of tires on one car with an identical set on another car...it is virtually impossible. There are just too many variables...the weight of the car, the types of roads driven on, the condition of the car...particularly the suspension, the manner in which the operator handles the car, etc. Just as many variables apply to diamond blades.
So, the next time you have reason to compare blade life, keep these variables in mind. Some of the problems arising from these variables can be quickly identified, and possibly corrected"...
