• Mount your KHS 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 rst 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 KHS

SERIES HOSE SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME.

KHS100 / KHS500 / KHS503 BLADE AWARENESS

Note: New blades must be properly conditioned to

assure long life and clean cuts. For the rst 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 e󰀨ective.

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.

KHS100 / KHS500 / KHS503 HOSE BENDING PINS SET UP

Hose Bending Pins Set UP

All the KHS100 / KHS500 / KHS503 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.
