HYDRAULIC HAND SAW SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
HYDRAULIC LINE CONNECTIONS
WARNING!
Never try to connect or disconnect the hoses while the power
unit is running and/or the hoses are under pressure.
1. Connect the hydraulic lines to the blade drive motor and the water line to the
water manifold.
2. Ensure the lines are located such that they will not interfere with travel or be cut
by the blade.
3. Before mounting the blade, be sure the blade shaft turns clockwise (looking
toward the saw at the blade). Incorrect blade rotation will cause increased wear,
damage the blade, and may blow out motor seals.
MOUNTING A STANDARD BLADE
1.
Be sure you have the correct diamond blade. Using a blade not manufactured for
hand saw use could result in serious bodily injury.
2.
Inspect the flanges and clean or replace if necessary. Inspect the blade for damage
to the arbor hole before mounting the blade.
3.
Place the blade over the arbor on the inner flange. Be sure the arrow on the blade
is pointing in the direction of rotation. Reversing the blade will cause higher blade
wear. The drive pin on the inner flange must go completely through the
corresponding hole in the blade.
4.
Place the outer flange over the arbor. Ensure that the drive pin from the inner
flange aligns with the corresponding hole in the outer flange.
5.
Tighten the flange nut to lock the blade in place. (NOTE: This is a left-hand nut.)
SETUP
1.
Never use conventional (wet) diamond blades without cooling water. 2-1/2 to 5
gallons per minute of water flowing across the blade is required to maintain proper
cooling and attain maximum blade life.
2.
Test the water source to ensure water spray tubing is free from obstructions and
that adequate water flow is available to the blade.
WARNING!
Before marking the cut line, ensure there are no electric, gas,
or water lines in the work area. Cutting into a utility line
could cause electrocution, injury, or death.
3.
Mark the cutting line clearly so that the saw operator can follow the line without
difficulty.
