STARTUP
Saw Lubricant
The saw tank reservoir should be filled with 20 gallons of oil, or
approximately 1/4” from tank return edge. This ensures adequate
oil for the pump to run and keep the blade lubricated. The HP-30
saw is equipped with an oil delivery pump, which disperses the
oil directly onto the blade before going through the rock.
Periodically check the oil tank level after each day of use to en-
sure an adequate oil level of lubrication oil is in the tank. Expect
loss of cutting oil over time due to misting, absorption into the
rock material and heat evaporation.
PRE-START INSPECTION
The pre-start inspection should be performed before beginning any job.

Oil Level
(1/4" from return)
CAUTION
Check blade signs for core or segment cracks, uneven segment wear, pounding out of
round arbor hole, undercutting, segment loss, dishing or loss of tension. If the diamond
blade shows signs of any of these problems the blade must be replaced before starting
work. A damaged blade will not cut correctly and could cause physical injury.
2. Check Blade
Oil should always be about 1/4" from the return of the bottom of the blade. The pump should always be completely
covered. Do not overfill the reservoir tank!
