INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 Suspend the Model 424 Wellsaw from a balancer.
Jarvis part number 4042028 is available.
2 Make the necessary air connection.
2.1 The required compressed air supply is 28 ft3/
min at 100 psi. (0.8 m3/ min at 6.9 bars).
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 DAILY CHECKLIST:
1.1 Make sure that the compressed air supply is at
the correct pressure and that the lubricator is up
to the full mark. Use Jarvis Air Mist Lubricator
Oil; if using a conventional air mist lubricator
set the feed rate at 8--10 drops per minute; if us-
ing a micro fog air mist lubricator set the feed
rate at 100 drops per minute. Note: Almost all
air mist lubricators are of the micro fog type.
1.2 Make sure that the saw moves freely on the ba-
lancer.
1.3 Make sure that the saw is working correctly.
Depress the trigger and the tool should start.
Release the trigger and the tool should stop. If
the tool malfunctions, remove it from service
and report the problem to your supervisor im-
mediately.
Always use two hands when starting and stop-
ping the saw. Continue holding the saw firmly
with both hands until the blade comes to a com-
plete stop.
2 AVERAGE CUTTING AND RIPPING:
2.1 Place your work piece on a solid support at a
convenient working height.
2.2 Adjust the material so that the line of cut will be
close to the support. Secure it firmly.
2.3 To prevent starting torque of the motor from
pulling the saw away from line of cut, the opera-
tor should make a few short strokes until the
blade has cut into the material about 1/4 inch be-
fore squeezing trigger switch.
2.4 Both hands should be on the saw at all times
while cutting. Continue holding the tool with
both hands until the saw blade comes to a com-
plete stop.
2.5 The saw should be kept perpendicular to the
work piece while cutting material that is thicker
than one inch.
2.6 The saw should be pushed firmly into the mate-
rial while cutting.
2.7 Do not allow the saw blade or the blade support
to leave the work piece while cutting.
2.8 Never allow the saw blade to float into the mate-
rial while cutting.
2.9 Never permit any part of the saw, except the
blade and the blade support, to contact the work
piece during the cut.
3 CUTTING LARGE CROSS SECTIONS:
3.1 Rocking the saw in the cut will speed up the cut-
ting action.

FACE:

4.1 Your power hand saw is not designed for regular
use in starting its own hole by sinking blades
through a surface, commonly called “plunge
cutting”. If attempted, the operator must:
a. Keep the saw blade as parallel to the work
as possible.
b. Immediately, as the blade makes contact
with the work piece, start to draw the saw
back slowly from the starting point.
c. Repeat the operation outlined in “b”, if nec-
essary.
d. Have room to draw the saw at least 4--6 in-
ches before cutting through a one inch
thickness.
e. Do not force the saw blade, but keep it
moving slowly on the draw back from the
starting point. After a break through cut
has been made and the end of the blade sup-
port extends through the material at least
1--1/2 inches, the saw may be tipped to a
normal cutting angle.
5 ALWAYS KEEP A SHARP BLADE ON THE
SAW:
5.1 Cutting with a dull or badly worn blade can
overload the saw and cause damage from over-
heating.
5.2 New blades can be purchased from Jarvis.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE COM-
PRESSED AIR SUPPLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
OSHA’S LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES (29 CFR
1910.147) WHEN INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE

place as necessary.
1.2 Check all fittings and connections for leaks and
tighten or replace as necessary.
1.3 An air filter/regulator/lubricator (Jarvis part
number 3022003) must be installed in the air
supply line. Keep the lubricator filled at all
times.
1.4 Make sure that the saw is working correctly.
Note: The air supply must be connected to per-
form this maintenance check only.
Depress the trigger and the tool should start.
Release the trigger and the tool should stop. If
the tool malfunctions, repair or remove it from
service immediately.
Always use two hands when starting and stop-
ping the tool. Continue holding the saw firmly
with both hands until the blade comes to a com-
plete stop.
