Accessory Pack contains:
The DDMMS is a versatile cutting machine designed to use diamond blades and operate under wet or dry
general application sawing depending on type of blade selected. Its function is to cut a variety of materials
to include block and brick. This saw is engineered as a self-contained unit consisting of a powerful “dual-
voltage” AC induction motor for electric models and Honda OHV engine with cyclone air ltration for the gas
model, removable water reservoir and water recirculating system. The motor operates on standard 115V cur-
rent, and the water pump is conveniently energized by the motor.

The DDMMS is wired for 115V, single phase operation, and draws 12.4 AMPS at 115V. This is not a large load, however if the machine is
operated on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, the circuit breaker may be tripped. If this occurs, eliminate other loads from
the circuit. A separate circuit protected by a 20 amp breaker is ideal. If other loads do not exist and power failure still occurs, have the
circuit inspected by a quali ed electrician. If a generator is used, use one rated at 3.5Kw minimum.
The recoil spring (part#??) should be lubricated with light machine oil prior to operation of the DDMMS Brick Saw.

.
The
aluminum
casting
supports (2) double sealed bearings, a heavy-duty blade shaft and an inner and outer blade flange. The
bearings are permanently lubricated, totally enclosed, and are self-aligning. Over a period of time and
usage, the shaft may begin to make excessive noise and vibrations, signaling the necessity for component
replacements. The maintenance is easily accomplished by replacing this (1) piece assembly in its entirety.
The assembly is removed and replaced by (4) bolts, is self-aligning, and is immediately ready for work.
The DDMMS Saws utilize a premium oil & heat treated V-belt the is tensioned at the factory. The belt may require a slight
adjustment after it “breaks-in” and seats on the pulleys (usually after several months of usage). Additionally, after heavy
usage over time, the belt may become worn, frayed or cracked. For retension or replacement of your V-belt, loosen the (4)
nuts that secure the motor base to the cutting head, remove the belt guard casting, loosen the motor strap bolt, replace/
reseat the V-belt, tightening the motor strap bolt (provide @ 1/2” pinch/de ection from the center of the V-belt), replace the
reseat the V-belt, tightening the motor strap bolt (provide @ 1/2” pinch/de ection from the center of the V-belt), replace the
belt guard casting, tighten the (4) motor plate screws & resume operations.

.
The
cutting
head may be adjusted to a fixed position for “forced” cutting, or the action of pushing the material steadily into the
blade completing the cut in one pass. The material may also be “Step” cut. This process requires several passes
of the blade at various depths as a means to incrementally cut the piece. Also, the “Chopping” action of the saw
can be employed to speedily “come down onto” and “push through” the material utilizing the mechanics of the saw.

the

are

guidelines
when

the
1.
Hold the material firmly against table and table backstop. If the material is allowed to slip, the blade may bend,
get caught up in the cut, or twist so violently that the blade may break off a diamond segment.
2.
Do not force material into blade. Allow the diamonds to do the grinding. When nearing the completion of the
cut, retard and slightly hold back the table. If this is not done, the material may be pulled into the blade so fast that
excessive pressure on the rim may cause warping or twisting of the steel core.
3.
When using a brand new diamond blade, make the first cuts slowly until the blade is “broken in” and cuts freely
and easily.
4.
After continuous cutting of extremely hard and dense materials, the bladeʼs cutting efficiency may slow down.
Should this occur, it will be necessary to “redress”, or “sharpen” the diamond blade. The blade can be redressed
by making several slow passes against a very abrasive product such as: soft cinder block or lightweight sandstone.
