OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS :

BLADE MOUNTING:
1.
Be certain that you have the correct diamond blade for the application. Contact your authorized
service dealer for the correct specification. Getting the correct blade will made a tremendous
difference in your blade costs and performance.
2.
The blade shaft flanges and arbor must be inspected for damage and cleaned before mounting blade.
Using the wrench provided, remove the outer flange. I f there is any damage replace the bad
parts
immediately. I nspect the blade for damage to the arbor hole and flange area before
attempting to
mount blade.
3.
Mount the blade solidly and firmly on the outer flange arbor and then to the blade shaft. Make sure
the arrow on the blade is pointing in the properdirection of rotation. Using the wrench provided,
tighten blade shaft bolt very securely! (Approximately 50 foot pounds.) Note that the blade shaft
bolt
has left hand threads, which tightens by turning counter-clockwise.

BEFORE SAWING:
1.
After mounting the saw blade, install proper size blade guard and check to see that it is securely
mounted. Blade exposure cannot exceed 1 80 degrees when cutting.
WARNING: Never operate the saw without proper blade guard in place!
2. Do not use conventional (wet) diamond blades without water! You must have from 2-1/2 to 5 gallons of
water per minute flowing over the blade for proper cooling and to get maximum blade life. For wet
sawing, be sure the spray holes i n the blade guard water tubes are open and that each side of the blade
has an adequate supply of water. Test your water supply for pressure and quantity (flow) before starting
to saw.

SAW OPERATION:
1. Place the saw frame on a sturdy, level surface. Check to make sure that the saw does not tilt or
cannot fall over.
WARNING: Be certain that saw frame would not tilt or fall over. Failure to do so may
result in bodily injury.

.., The cutting operation:
a) To cut wet:
Electric motor - Fill water tub within one inch of top. Place pump in water tub so that intake is fully
submerged at all times. Plug pump into receptacle in motor capacitor box. Pump will
run whenever
motor is switched on. Do not allow pump to run dry to avoid damaging it. Open water
valve fully on
blade guard, and check water flow before cutting. Water should flow at 2 - 5 GPM
(gallons per
minute) to adequately cool wet cutting blades.
Gas engine – Engage water pump on cutting head. Open water valve fully before cutting. Water
should flow at 2 - 5 GPM (gallon per minute) to adequately cool wet cutting blades.
b) To cut dry:
Electric motor - Disconnect pump plug from motor outlet while motor is switched OFF. Close
water valve on blade guard.
Gas engine - Disengage water pump on cutting head. Close water valve on blade guard.
WARNING: Only cut dry with adequate ventilation and proper respiratory
protection.

c) For Saws WithElectric Motors:
Connect motor to a properly grounded outlet. Motor may be operated on 230 or 460 volts. Set
motor capacitor housing to match desired voltage. Plug on motor cord must also be changed to
match correct voltage.



WARNING: Always make sure that motor is connected to a properly grounded outlet.
Failure to
do so may result in serious bodily injury or death. Do not operate motor on low
voltage. It
may cause power loss,overheating, or burn out motor windings. Check voltage at
motor while operating. Comply with all local electrical codes. If you are unsure, check with
an electrician.

d) Proper voltage is critical for proper motor performance. Extension cords, which are too long
and/or too small of a gauge, will prevent motor from receiving full voltage. Follow extension
cordrecommendations below:

e) Turn switch to ··ON" position to start electric motor. If motor overheats, the manual reset
thermal
overload will trip. Turn motor off. wait 5-10 minutes for motor to cool. and push reset
button on
capacitor housing. Button clicks to i ndicate that motor is reset.
For saws with gas engines:_ Check engine oil level before starting. Start engine and allow it to
warm up according to engine manual instructions. After engine warms up, all sawing is done at
full throttle.

3. To cut material, either:
a) Pull cutting head down by handle to desired cutting depth. It is best to use the entire
diamond
segment height to cut. Tighten handle on depth lock to keep cutting head at set
height.
CAUTION: Take care not to saw conveyor cart in half. Cutting head pivot range allows
the
operator to"··u s e up" an abrasive blade, but allows the risk of cutting conveyor cart.
CAUTION: Do not allow material being cut to rub against blade flanges. This will damage
them and they will need to be replaced.

b) Clamp or hold material firmly against the conveyor can measuring stop.
CAUTION: If material being cut is allowed to slip, blade may bind, damaging it. Do not
cock,jam,
wedge or twist the blade in the cut. Do not grind on the side of the blade.

c) Push conveyor cart through blade at a reasonable even rate that allows the blade to cut
efficiently, but doesn’t bog down the engine or overload the motor.
WARNING: Keep hands and all other body parts away from blade when pushing conveyor
cart
through cut. and at all times saw is running.

a) Clamp or hold material firmly against the conveyor cart measuring stop.
CAUTION: If material being cut is allowed to slip, blade may bind, damaging it. Do not cock,jam,
wedge or twist the blade in the cut. Do not grind on the side of the blade.

b) Pull cutting head down by handle and hold, making a few passes with the conveyor cart,
i
ncreasing the depth of cut with each pass. I mportant: Near the end of cut. slow cart feeding
down and slightly hold the cart back.

CAUTION: If cart is not held back at end of cut. blade may draw material in so fast that blade
damagewill occur.

4. When finished sawing, turn the motor or engine off. (Note: Allow gas engine to cool down. See
engine manual.)
WARNING: Never leave the saw unattended when running.

MAINTENANCE:
1. Clean water tub once a day - twice a day during heavy cutting - and refill with clean water. If sludge
accum u lates, it can damage water pump and shorten blade life.
2. Clean saw each night after use. Flush pump and hoses with clean water.
3.
Lubricate blade shaftand pivot shaft bearings daily. When cutting dry, grease bearings once or twice daily.
Grease provides an added protective seal for bearings. Use only premium Lithium 12 based grease
conforming to NLGI grade #2 consistency, without Molybdenum Disulfide. Replace damaged or noisy
bearings immediately. Grease blade shaft bearings while saw is running. Grease
bearings at end ofjob
and before saw is stored.
4.
Between jobs or extended periods of storage, clean saw with a wire brush to remove dried sludge. Clean and
thoroughly lubricate all moving parts. Check to make sure all fasteners are tight.
5. Ensure that extension cord gauge matches its length. as shown in chart. Undersize extension cords may
damage motor. Use 230 volts.
I nspect cord for cuts, nicks, or exposed wires. Replace cord if damaged.
6. If you experience any problems with your electric motor or gas engine. contact Diamond Products for the
nearest Authorized Service Center. If motor or engine is serviced by an unauthorized service
center,the
warranty will be voided.
7. When transporting saw, remove cutting head from frame. Vibration during transport could causethe
cutting head to pound in the frame, causing the head to come out of alignment. Always remove the blade
when transporting .
8. Make sure that V-belts are always tensioned properly. Replace worn belts in sets.
9.
Slots in cutting head are provided to keep blade aligned horizontally and vertically with cut li ne on
conveyor cart. Loosen lock nuts on blade shaft bearings and tilt shaft towards appropriate direction.
Tighten lock nuts when blade is properly aligned with conveyor cart.
10.
Blade should mount snugly on arbor. If blade fits loosely on arbor, or if arbor shoulder is grooved, the
i nner flange must be replaced. Otherwise, blade life will be shortened dramatically.
11.
Blade flanges must have minimum outside diameter of 3 7/8". Replace worn flanges immediately because they
can shorten blade life or cause blade to break.
12. Frequently inspect conveyor cart. Replace wood insert and wheels often.
13. Replace bronze bearing in blade guard pivot plate if blade guard does not pivot properly.
14.
Clean air cleaner daily on saws with gas engine. See engine manual for maintenance instructions.
15.
For additional engine care, see engine manual.
