General Safety
Read and understand all of the safety,
operations, and maintenance instructions
provided in this manual prior to operating or
servicing the saw.
Keep saw components clean and free of
slurry, concrete dust, and debris.
Inspect all hoses prior to operating the saw.
Clean, repair, or replace damaged
components.
Repair the saw immediately when a problem
arises.
Replace saw decals if unreadable.
Dispose of all hazardous waste materials
according to city, state, and federal
regulations.
Always have a phone nearby, and locate the
nearest fire extinguisher and first aid kit prior
to operating the saw.
Operate the saw wearing flame resistant
clothing.
Always wear safety glasses when removing
retaining rings.
Persons under the statutory age limit should
not operate the saw.
Keep all body parts away from rotating
machinery.
Replace all guards and access panels
(unless stated otherwise) prior to operating
the saw.
Always pivot guards fully to avoid serious
injuries.
Precautions
DO NOT drop equipment, supplies, tools,
etc., when handling to help prevent injuries.
DO NOT lift and carry equipment, supplies,
tools, etc., that are too heavy and/or cannot
be lifted easily.
DO NOT operate the saw without using the
appropriate safety equipment required for
the work task.
DO NOT operate or service the saw with
clothing, hair, or accessories that can snag
in the machinery, which could lead to
serious injuries or death!
DO NOT operate the saw using attachments
not associated with or recommended for the
saw.
DO NOT operate the saw around
combustible materials or fumes to prevent
fires/explosions.
Do not operate the saw with anyone near
the work area or within the direct line of the
blade.
DO NOT operate the saw until all
unnecessary materials have been removed
from the work area.
DO NOT operate the saw with loose nuts,
screws, and bolts.
DO NOT operate the saw when ill or
fatigued.
DO NOT operate the saw under the
influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
DO NOT operate the saw on a slippery or
uneven surface.
DO NOT cut concrete without guards.
DO NOT service the saw with the motor
running
Blade Safety
Always use diamond blades manufactured
specifically for the HDS60 saw.
Never cut dry. Without an adequate water
supply to properly lubricate the blade, the
blade will warp, causing damage to the saw
and/or serious injury to the operator.
Inspect all blades prior to usage and discard
damaged blades. Clean dirty blades as
necessary.
DO NOT install or remove a blade with the
motor running.
Keep all body parts away from rotating
blades.
Inspect the drive and idler wheels for
damage, wear, and cleanliness. Clean or
replace dirty/damaged components
immediately.
DO NOT expose yourself or anyone
else to the direct line of the blade when
operating the saw.
Always use an appropriate size blade and
the correct blade type based on the cutting
task and the type of material being cut.
The blade must always be fit correctly on the
drive wheels. Failure to do so can result in
damage to the saw and/or serious personal
injury.

Wear gloves and be alert to the
surrounding environment when handling
blades.
When installing the blade, always fit the
groove in the blade to the main drive wheel.
DO NOT exceed the blade’s maximum
recommended speed when cutting.
Excessive blade speeds can cause blade
breakage, resulting in serious injuries and/or
death!
DO NOT use damaged blades when cutting
to avoid harming yourself, others, or the
saw.
Blade Guard Safety
DO NOT operate the saw with the blade
guard removed.
Always inspect the blade guard prior to
operating the saw.
Replace damaged components immediately.
DO NOT install or remove the blade guard
with the saw running.
Cutting Safety
The direct work area must be checked prior
to cutting for buried or imbedded electrical,
gas or water lines that could be damaged
and/or cause personal injury while cutting.
Turn off all electricity, gas, and water around
the direct work area prior to cutting.
DO NOT expose yourself or anyone else to
the direct line of the blade when operating
the saw.
DO NOT allow any person, animal, and/or
object in and around the work area while
cutting.

Step 7: Inspect lower drive roller for wear on lip. Replace if lip is worn to half the
original width (.200”)(figure 7).
Figure 7
Step 8: Install new blade, matching groove in blade to lip on the lower drive
roller. (figure 8)
Figure 8

Step 9: With the transmission assembly in neutral position, reinstall upper drive
roller using the ¼” allen wrench provided. Tighten securely by locking drive
wheel in position (figure 9).

Step 11: Reinstall adjustable arm assembly, blade guard and splash flap on saw.
Hand tighten bolts. Place ring saw on flat surface (figure 11) so that the
adjustable arm assembly is sitting with the weight of the saw on it. Tighten bolts
using the 9/16” wrench provided. Guide rollers should be firmly in contact with
the blade. Move t-handle to original location by pulling up and rotating 90
degrees, returning transmission assembly to the tensioned position.
