I. PREPARATION
A. Safety Precautions
Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed.
Hazard Symbols
Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode
if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well
ventilated, unoccupied areas approved, and away from sparks or
flames. Don not fill the saw fuel tank while the engine is hot or
running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use the
fuel as a cleaning agent
Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To
prevent burns, do not touch the engine or related parts while the
engine is running or immediately after it is turned off. Never
operate the engine with any heat shields or guards removed.
Keep all guard in place when operating any piece of equipment
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all rotating parts
Lethal Exhaust Gas use only in well ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide which is
orderless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid
inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed
building or confined area
Never tamper with the governor components of settings to
increase the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage
to the engine or equipment or equipment can result if operated at
speed above maximum. Always obey the maximum speed rating
of blade.
DO NOT LIFT THE SAW BY THE HANDLE BARS

Dust and Silica Warning
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can
generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or
fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the
particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being
used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the
material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and
NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials and make certain to comply
with all product warnings and instructions for the safe and effective use of the
material being cut. California and some other authorities, for instance, have
published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or
other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use
good work practices and follow the recommendations of the
manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations.
Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When
the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated
through engineering controls such as vacuum and/or water mist, the operator
and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA
for the material being cut.
Use Approved:
Eye Protection Hearing
Protection Respiratory Protection Head Protection

1. Before mounting any blade on the saw, the blade should be inspected for
any damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or
previous use.
2. The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for
damage before mounting the blade.
3. The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the
outside collar projecting through the drive pin hole on the blade and
inside collar.
4. The blade shaft nut, which is a left hand thread nut, must be tightened
securely against the outside blade shaft collar.
5. The blade must be operated within the specified maximum operating
speed listed on the blade.
6. Turn water control valve to full to provide adequate coolant (5 to 8
gallons per minute) for diamond blades and wet cutting abrasive blades.
Insufficient coolant could result in severe blade breakage or diamond
segment separation.
7. The blade guard must be in place with the nose guard down and locked
when the saw is running.
8. The operator should wear safety glasses and any other appropriate
safety equipment.
9. When starting the saw, the operator should stand away and to the side of
the blade.
10. If for any reason the saw should stall in the cut, raise the blade out of
the cut. Check the outside blade shaft collar and nut for tightness.
Inspect the blade for damage before restarting the saw. User caution
when resuming a cut. Be certain that the blade is in alignment with the
previous cut.
11. During cutting operations, do not exert excess side pressure on the
handles as a method of steering. Do not force the blade into the cut by
lowering the blade too fast or by pushing the saw too fast.
You Are Responsible For Your Safety!!!

I. PREPARATION
B. Assembly
The self-propelled concrete saws are shipped completely assembled and
ready for use except for diamond blade, gasoline, oil, and handle bar. Inspect
the saw for shipping damage. If any damage is found, contact the shipper
immediately and file a freight claim. The Norton Company is not responsible
for any freight-related damages. Remove the saw from the pallet. Reverse
the position of the handlebars so that the handle bar sticks out towards the
operator. Adjust the handlebars to the desired height. Attach the handlebars
to the saw with the supplied hardware. For electric start models fill and check
the electrolyte level and charge the battery. Read and understand the
remaining sections of this Owners Manual. NOTE: Do not install the blade
until it is time to use the saw. ANSI regulations prohibit the transportation of
any concrete saw with the blade installed.

II. OPERATION
Read and understand this manual before
running or using the machine!
A. Installing the Blade
1. Insure that the Ignition Power Key Switch is in the OFF position and
then disconnect the spark plug.
2. Remove the blade shaft nut, (NOTE: Operator’s Right side is a left
hand thread and the Operator’s Left side is right hand thread), and
remove the outside collar. Rotate the Blade Guard to gain better
access to the Blade Shaft Nut, Loose Collar, Blade, and Tight Collar.
To Rotate the Blade Guard pull the Blade Guard Retaining Pin out
away from the Blade Guard Frame Bayonet and the rotate the Blade
Guard up and out of the way.

Nut and Collars
3. Clean off any foreign particles on the clamping surfaces of both collars
and on the mounting surface of the blade and also inspect the drive pin
for damage. Replace any damage collars or pins before using the
machine.

4. Inspect the blade for any damage, cracks, burnt or blue areas, missing
segments, and roundness of blade. Also inspect the arbor hole and
drive pin hole to insure both are round. If any problems are found do
not use the blade. In addition check that the blade is the correct
specification for the application.
Use only Clipper Diamond Blades. This machine was not
designed for the use with abrasive blades.
5. Place the blade on the blade shaft, lining up the drive pin hole in the
blade with the drive pinhole in the inside collar. NOTE: Diamond
blades are direction dependent so verify the direction of rotation of the
blade. The machine will rotate the blade into the work surface (down
cut). Place the blade guard in position and insert the blade guard
retainer pin. Never operate the saw without the blade guard or blade
guard retainer pin in position See the following diagram Blade
Installation.

6. Slide the outside blade shaft collar onto the blade shaft. The drive pin
on the outside collar must project through the drive pin hole in the
blade and into the inside collar.
