This blade is a free spinning blade that will be lowered on to the cut. NEVER start the saw with the blade touching the ground

or any surface.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

ALWAYS keep guards in place. In order to prevent injury, keep guards in place and in working order at all times.

EXPLOSIVE FUEL!

Gasoline is extremely flammable, its vapors can explode if ignited; store only in approved containers, in well-ventilated,

unoccupied buildings and away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. Spilled fuel

could ignite if it contacts hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a

cleaning agent. Never operate the machine in an explosive atmosphere.

LETHAL EXHAUST GASES

Engine exhaust gasses contain poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless colorless gas that can cause death if inhaled. Avoid

inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or confined area.

ENGINE OVER-SPEED

Never tamper with the governor components or settings to increase the maximum speed of the machine. Severe personal injury

and/or equipment damage could result if the equipment is operated speeds above design maximum.

ROTATING OR MOVING PARTS

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate a power tool with shrouds or

HOT PARTS

Engine components can become extremely hot from operation. To prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while the

engine is running, or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate the engine with heat shields removed.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES

Safety glasses should always be worn when working around power tools. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant

II. OPERATION - TROUBLESHOOTING/MAINTENANCE

SEGMENT CRACKS

UNEVEN SEGMENT WEAR

(In wet cutting) Insufficient water

(usually on one side of blade).

Equipment defects also can cause

the segments to wear unevenly.

Saw head is misaligned

REMEDY

tFlush water system.

tCheck flow to both sides of blade.

tReplace bad bearings, worn arbor

shaft or misalignment to spindle.

tCheck alignment for squareness both

vertically and horizontally, of the saw

blade.

CAUSEPROBLEM tBlade is too hard for material being cut. tUse a blade with a softer bond/matrix.

SEGMENT LOSS

tBlade overheats because of lack of

coolant (water or air).

tCore is worn from undercutting.

tDefective collars/flanges set blade out

of alignment.

tBlade is too hard for material being cut.

tBlade is cutting out of round causing a

pounding motion.

tImproper blade tension. t(Wet Cutting) Check water lines.

tMake sure flow is adequate on both

sides of blade and there are

blockages.

tUse sufficient water to flush out the

cut.

tClean collars/flanges or replace if they

are under recommended diameter.

tUse proper blade specification for

material being cut.

tReplace worn bearings; realign blade

shaft or replace worn blade mounting

arbor. When ordering blades match

shaft speed of saw.

tCheck spindle speed to ensure blade

is running at correct RPM

tAvoid twisting or turning blade in the

cut.

CRACKS IN CORE

tBlade flutters in cut as a result of losing

blade tension.

tBlade specification is too hard for the

material being cut. tTighten the blade shaft nut.

tMake sure blade is running at proper

speed and that drive pin is functioning

properly.

tUse a softer bond/matrix to eliminate

stress
