SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Saw blade should be inspected daily for excessive wear, core cracks, and arbor
damage. Replace any blade that shows signs of damage.
•To mount blade, clean arbor and outer flanges, tightening nut securely.
•DO NOT place any portion of body in line with blade while it is rotating.
•To reduce risk of electrical shock, it is recommended to use GFCI and refer servicing
to qualified professional.
We recommends the use of these safety items when operating the saw:
USE PROPER GROUND CICUIT !
USE BLADE GUARD WHEN OPERATING SAW !
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GEAR !

5
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
•Never use the machine improperly or work in an unsafe manner.
•Always wear safety goggles, dust mask, and ear protection while operating the saw.
•Always remain alert when the saw is in use. Failure to pay attention on the
operator’s part may lead to serious injury.
•Before you start working, familiarize yourself with the work site and its surroundings.
Take notice of circumstances, which may impede working or traffic, observe soil
conditions (good bearing or not), and take measures to ensure safety (i.e. the
shielding of road works from public traffic).
•Take measures to ensure that the machine is in a safe and trouble-free condition
prior to usage. Use the machine only when all protective devices (i.e. guards, noise
absorbers, emergency-off devices) are operating in the intended locations.
•A visual check of the machine must be made at least once a shift to ensure that
visible damages or faults are recognized. Any changes (including changes in the
performance or behavior of the machine) must be reported to the supervisor. If
necessary, stop the machine at once and secure it.
•In the case of a malfunction, stop the machine immediately and secure it. Fix the
problem as soon as possible.
•For starting and stopping the machine follow the operating instruction steps and
observe any indicator lights.
•Before switching the machine on make sure that the activated machine will be of no
danger to anyone.
•Be sure to connect the plug to a properly grounded receptacle to reduce the risk of
electric shock.

HEALTH WARNINGS
Some dust are created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and cause other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from lead based paints.
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
UNPACKING, ASSEMBLY & SET-UP
Open the container, carefully lift the saw frame handles and place it on a flat, level
working area. Be certain that you have the following items before you discard the
container:
•Saw
•45° / 90° rip guide
•Universal wrench
•Owner’s manual
DIAMOND BLADE INSTALLATION
1. Move the blade shaft cover upwards.
To remove the blade lock nut, open
the shaft space.
2. Place the blade onto the blade shaft.
Make sure that the directional arrow is
pointing in the direction of the shaft
rotation
3. Lock the blade lock nut with the outer
flange. Use the multiple wrench
provided to fasten the blade tightly

steel wheels provides the durability
to handle large materials.
Only use the Ø16" (400 mm) blade for this saw. Setting smaller size of
diamond blade may grab the material being cut, causing damage and
possibly injury.
USE PROPER GROUND CICUIT !
USE BLADE GUARD WHEN OPERATING SAW !
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GEAR !

THE RIP GUIDE
Steps to use the 45º / 90º rip guide
1. Set the rip guide by positioning it on the desired dimension and tighten the threaded
knob. Make sure that the rip guide is firmly tightened to avoid slippage. The rip guide
can be used for 90º rip cuts and 45º angle cuts from both the left and right side.
(Note the straight and 45º angled slits on the bottom of the rip guide
2. After the rip guide is positioned for the desired cut, place material flat against the rip
guide and the measurement rail. After the rip guide is positioned for the desired cut,
place material flat against the rip guide and the measurement rail. For 45º rip cuts,
place the corner of material in the open slot of the measurement rail.
3. Simply line up the material being cut with the appropriate pre-marked lines on the
cutting table.
4. Now you are ready to make your cut
CUTTING DEPTH
The recommended cutting depth is 0.6cm (¼") below the cutting table surface. The
cutting clearance has been fixed from original designed.
Only use the Ø16" (400 mm) blade for this saw. Setting smaller size of
diamond blade may grab the material being cut, causing damage and
possibly injury.

WATER PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Remove the water pump from the box and check that it is not damaged.
2. Place the pump into the middle of the water tray along its side so that the water
outlet is positioned horizontally. Connect the water hose from the blade guard to the
pump and plug the power cord into the 3-prong receptacle.
3. Fill the water tray so that the water intake is fully immersed.
4. Be sure to support the pump during installation to prevent pump failure or damage.
Disconnect the pump before attempting to handle the pump.
Never operate pump without water in the tray

SAW MAINTENANCE
Maintenance interval Wath to do for maintenance and care
After ecery use ot the
machine
- Remove dirty water from container.
- Remove dirt and mud from the bottom of the container
- Rinse teh immersion pump with fresh water to prevent water
pump dogging from residual dirt.
After wet clearing and
before using the machine
again
Connect the machine to an electric power outlet equipped with
a“GFI” safety power breaker. If the safety power breaker cuts off
the electrical power supply, do not try to operate the machine but
have it checked by an authorized dealer first.
Before not using the
machine for a prolonged
period of time
Clean and lubricate all movable part.
Before not using the
machine for a prolonged
period of time
- Check that the stand is safely fixed.
- Check that all screw joints and nuts are fixed.
- Check that the roller table is in its guides and that it easliy
moves to and fro.
- With the saw blade removed, switch on the motor for an
instant and switch it off again. If the motor does not run, have
the machine inspected by a qualified electrician.
- Check that the immersion pump works properly. Turn on the
cooling water tap and switch the machine on. If the pump
does not give any water or only a little, switch the machine off
at once. Clean the pump, or replace if necessary.
Ambient temperture below
0°C (operation in winter)
To prevent the water in the pump and cooling system from
freezing, remove the water after using the machine or when there
will be a long break. Make sure that the cooling system is entirely
drained so that there is no water left inside the pump, water hose
and bearing housing
For your safety, before performing any maintenance on the saw turn off
the power switch and unplug the power card
