ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

5)Turn the height adjustment lever clockwise to lower the blade into the crack until the desired sawing depth is achieved. Each full turn of the crank lever will raise/lower the blade approximately 1/16 inch.

6)Following the random crack direction and/or pattern with the blade is accomplished by viewing the blade and crack in the louvered opening in the blade guard. The louvers are intended to provide protection for the operator in the event that a diamond segment becomes separated from the blade blank. Probable causes for such occurrences are discussed in detail in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

a)The geometric design of the louvered blade guard is intended to provide a high mathematical percentage of protection for the operator in a normal operating position as described in this manual. The mathematical percentage will decrease for operating positions not described in this manual.

b)In the event of diamond segment separation from the blade blank, there is a high mathematical probability that the segment will be thrown forward against the dust pan located under the main frame or directly against the forward (non louvered) section of the blade guard. The manufacturer has conducted extensive testing to substantiate this theory. In actual field tests, diamond segments were purposely separated from the blade blanks through abusive operational techniques. In all field tests, no separated diamond segments made direct contact with the blade guard louvers.

c)In the very low probability that a diamond segment would make direct contact with the blade guard louvers, the geometric design has a high mathematical probability to not allow the segment to penetrate the vertical plane as defined by the location of the louvers. The spaces, angle orientation and number of louvers minimize the mathematical probability that a segment can penetrate the vertical plane, exit the louvers and eventually strike the operator.

d)The geometric configuration of the louvers are designed to allow for adequate and/or proper visibility for the operator during the sawing process. With use, concrete and/or asphalt dust will accumulate at the bottom of the blade guard opening. At regular intervals, this material should be removed to enhance operator visibility during the sawing process.

DANGER

DO NOT MODIFY THE ORIGINAL OPERATING CONFIGURATION FOR THE LOUVERS FOR ANY REASON. MODIFICATIONS TO THE LOUVERS CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

7)Proper operator posture and stance will enhance operational safety and overall productivity. FIGURE 24 depicts a proper operator's position. FIGURE 25 depicts an improper operator's position that can accelerate fatigue, decrease productivity and reduce safety. The downcut orientation of the diamond blade will normally produce a "self-propelled" effect against the operator. This effect is intended to reduce the operator fatigue associated with the operation of the machine and to increase overall productivity.

8)In some operating conditions, it may be necessary for the operator to apply a resisting force (push) against the operator handle to counteract the "self-propelled effect. In some other operating conditions, it may be necessary for the operator to apply a force (pull with) to the operator handle in order to assist the sawing action of the Crack Saw.
