HS150 / HS300 / HS500 INITIAL SET UP
• Mount your HS Series Hose Saw on a sturdy workbench in a
well-lit area. Workbench should be able to support the hose saw
weight.
• Check electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the hose
saw requirements shown on the tag attached to the hose saw
cord.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR RUN FROM
PORTABLE POWER SOURCES AS LOW VOLTAGE CAN
DAMAGE THE MOTOR.
• Check to be certain that the blade rotates in the direction of
the arrow shown on the motor housing.
Note: Blade also has a rotation arrow.
Note: New blades must be properly conditioned to assure
long life and clean cuts. For the first ten cuts, feed the blade
slowly through a medium size hose. This will properly break
in and condition the blade for long life.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR HS SERIES
HOSE SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME.

HS150 / HS300 / HS500 BLADE AWARENESS
Note: New blades must be properly conditioned to
assure long life and clean cuts. For the first ten cuts,
feed the blade slowly through a medium size hose.
this will properly break in and condition the blade for
long life.
Note: The hose should begin to bend before contacting
the blade. This will increase blade life and keep the
hose from tearing and deforming.
Note: Once the blade and motor reach full RPM apply
steady downward pressure on the handle in order to force
the hose into the blade. Do not apply enough force to stall
the blade, and ease up on the pressure before the blade
completes the cut. This will keep from separating the wires
as the blade exits the hose.
Note: The edges of the blade may appear to be dull.
This does not mean that the blade is not effective.
As long as the blade is still giving clean cuts, do not
replace the blade.
NOTE: PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DIRECTION OF
ROTATION MARKED ON THE SERRATED BLADE.
IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF MOST BLADES OF THIS TYPE.
CAUTION: Cracks can cause extremely damage to the
blade, periodically examine the blade for cracks and / or
broken teeth.

HS150 / HS300 / HS500 HOSE BENDING PINS SET UP
Hose Bending Pins Set UP
All the HS150 / HS300 / HS500 series hose saws have a
“Hose Bending Pins Position” decal placed on top of the
hose saw.
Step 1
Position the hose bending pins according to the hose
size.
For example for a 1/2 inch hose, position the pins in the
hole closest to the blade.
Note: Pins MUST be positioned in the holes in the saw
table such that the hose opens slightly during the cut.
Spread the pins further apart for larger hoses.
Step 2
Turn on the hose saw, apply steady downward pressure
on the handle in order to force the hose into the blade.
As you making a cut, the hose bending pins will allow the
hose to bend as shown in the picture, this will minimize
the friction during the cut.
Step 3
For a (larger) 2 inch hose, position the pins further out as
shown in the picture.

HOW TO CHANGE THE SAW BLADE
Tighten Rotation Arrow
Hex Jam Nut
Blade Grip
Step 2
Use a 5/32 inch Allen wrench to remove the 5 screws, and
the side access panel.
Step 3
Use 1/8 inch Allen wrench to remove the 2 screws,
and the Black Saw Blade Access Panel to
provide clearance to remove the blade.
Step 4

For HS300 / HS500 series, use a 1-1/4" wrench to keep the
Motor Shaft Arbor in place.
Note: there is a notched on the motor shaft arbor where the
wrench falls into place.
Step 5
Use a 1-1/2" wrench or an adjustable wrench to lose the
Hex Jam Nut, remove it and the Blade Grip as well.
Note: Pay close attention to the tighten rotation arrow on the
hex jam nut, this is a left handed hex jam nut.
Note: To lose the hex jam nut would be clockwise, and to
tighten it would be counter-clockwise.
Step 1
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE HOSE SAW IS TURNED OFF AND UNPLUG IT.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND PROTECTIVE GLOVES AT ALL TIMES WHEN
CHANGING SAW BLADE AND OPERATING THE HOSE SAW.

changing blade and operating the hose saw.
Step 7
Use an air gun or a clean rag to clean the inside to remove any
debris.
Step 8
Make certain that the new blade does not have any broken teeth,
cracks or any other damage before installing.
Step 9
Before installing the new blade, if the blade has a rotation arrow
make certain that the blade is installed so that it rotates in the
direction of the arrow.
Note: Once the new blade is installed, repeat the process in
reverse order to install all the parts back on the hose saw.
Note: To lose the hex jam nut would be clockwise, and to tighten
it would be counter-clockwise.

Adjust the oil drops (H) so that after approximately 10 seconds you
see a small film appear onto the hose saw blade (I).
Note: If the sound of the air going against the blade is too loud, reduce
the air pressure and increase the oil drop. Adjust the air pressure to a
more comfortable level, then verify that you are getting your small film
coverage in approximately 10 seconds.
Step 6
When the hose saw is not in use you can turn off the mister by
either option:
A. Un-hook the air disconnect (this allows you not to have to adjust the
air pressure each time).
B.Turn off the air regulator (If you use this option we recommend making
a mark on your air pressure gage to show what the desired setting is for
quick setup).
