Blade / Engine (RPM)  
WARNING:  
Important safety information for the operation of pavement saws:  
FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL  
INJURY  
When blade diameter is changed, blade guard, bladeshaft drive and engine RPM (governor setting) MUST  
also be changed to maintain proper blade speed. Bladeshaft RPM must be checked prior to installing blade  
on equipment (*3). Proper blade speed (RPM) is very important for safe operation and product  
performance. The chart, shown below, provides the recommended bladeshaft RPM settings, which will  
result in proper speeds for various size blades.

unless you have changed the saw  
blade capacity to accommodate  
larger or smaller diameter blades.  
Turn on water to blade (8). Set water  
safety switch to ON position (leave off  
if dry cutting). If engine stops,  
recheck water supply. The water  
safety switch will automatically shut  
off the engine if proper water

4. Operating Instructions  
Preparing to Saw  
pressure is not supplied.  
Position saw over cut.  
6.  
7.  
Lower blade using toggle switch  
located in speed control handle (2)  
(follow instructions on handle).  
Releasing switch will stop blade from  
lowering. Stop lowering when blade  
contacts pavement. With blade  
touching pavement, set cutting depth  
indicator (6) to “0”, then continue  
lowering until the desired cutting  
depth is shown on the cutting depth  
indicator.  
To use depth stop control (3) turn  
handle clockwise until resistance is  
met. For greater depth, turn handle  
counter-clockwise, for lesser depth  
turn the handle clockwise.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Perform daily maintenance to saw  
(see chart).  
Fuel saw if required. Use good grade  
of regular gasoline (14).  
Remove blade guard and mount  
blade securely on blade shaft. For  
saws equipped with Magnalock  
one-piece outer collar blade shaft,  
insert the outer collar through the  
blade and into the female inner collar.  
Make sure the blade collars are  
clean and free of nicks and burrs on  
the clamping face. Make sure inner  
collar is tight on the shaft and drive  
key is in place. Check the drive pin in  
the outer collar for damage, loose fit  
or being bent. Check the blade arbor  
for gouges, nicks or burrs. SAW  
BLADE MUST BE HELD TIGHT AND  
RUN TRUE to achieve the proper  
blade performance.  
8.  
9.  
Move speed control handle (2)  
forward SLOWLY until proper cutting  
speed is achieved.  
When Cut is Finished  
1.  
Put speed control handle (2) back to  
neutral position.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
If using wet cutting diamond blades,  
visually inspect coolant spray tubes  
for plugged or damaged openings.  
Clean and repair as necessary.  
Proper coolant flow is essential to  
good blade performance.  
Visually inspect blade guard for  
cracks, hinge failure or loose  
mounting. Repair or replace guard if  
necessary. DO NOT USE SAW  
WITHOUT BLADE GUARD  
2.  
Raise blade from cut by using the  
toggle switch in speed control handle.  
When switch is released, the raise  
will stop and hold in place.  
Once the blade is completely out of  
the cut, turn off water to blade (8).  
Close throttle (8) to idle position. Let  
engine cool down before stopping.  
DO NOT STOP ENGINE AT FULL  
THROTTLE!  
3.  
4.  
SECURELY IN PLACE!  
Set line guides.  
NOTE: All sawing is done with engine at full  
throttle. Engine governor is factory set to achieve  
proper blade speeds and engine performance.  
DO NOT CHANGE GOVERNOR SETTING  
unless you are changing blade capacity  
(Diameter).  
To Saw  
1.  
Place water safety switch in the OFF  
position.

DUST WARNING  
Cutting, especially when DRY cutting, generates dust that comes from the material being cut, which  
frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other  
minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive amount of such dust can cause:  
Respiratory diseases (affecting your ability to breath), including chronic bronchitis, silicosis and  
pulmonary fibrosis from exposure to silica. These diseases may be fatal;  
Skin irritation and rash; and  
Cancer according to NTP* and IARC*  
* National Toxicology Program, International Agency for Research on Cancer  
Take precautionary steps  
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes;  
Wet cut when feasible, to minimize dust;  
Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory protection such as dust masks  
designed to filter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200)  
California Prop 65 Warning:  
Use of this product can cause exposure to materials known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth  
defects or other reproductive harm.
