general infOrMatiOn
The Multiquip SP1E16A walk-behind saw is designed for
wet or dry cutting of concrete or asphalt utilizing diamond
blades. These saws have been engineered for general
and industrial flat sawing applications.The reinforced
steel box frame design adds strength necessary to reduce
vibrations while cutting. Minimizing vibrations enhances the
performance of the blade and extends the life of the saw.
Heavy-duty front and rear axles, sturdy oversized wheels,
and industrial under carriage assembly ensure accurate
tracking and years of reliable use.
Additionally, the general weight-to-strength ratio design
of the frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum
weight distribution to keep the blade running true in the
cut. A rugged blade shaft bearing assembly ensures
minimal flutter and shaft harmonics providing the most
advantageous condition for a diamond blade at operating
speeds.
The SP1E16A saw comes standard with a 16-inch blade
guard and can handle diamond blades ranging in size from
12-16-inch in diameter.
The blade shaft accommodates a 1" arbor.
An ACME thread, manual raise/lower assembly, easily
raises and lowers the blade and locks it into position to
ensure a constant depth cut. The SP1E16A is equipped with
a retractable cutting guide, oversized roller bearing wheels,
industrial blade shaft berings, and a rigid steel frame.
poWer plaNTS
The SP1E16A saw is generally classified in the industry as
a "LOW to MEDIUM " horsepower saw. This classification
is particularly useful when selecting the proper diamond
blade for an application.
Refer to the electric motor Owner's Manual for specific
instructions regarding motor operation and maintenance
practices.
The SP1E16A saw is powered by a 5.0 HP, 230 VAC single-
phase electric motor. Blade rotation is belt driven.
all Multiquip Sp1e16a saws are designed, engineered
and manufactured with strict adherence to american
National Standards institute, inc. (aNSi) guidelines
B7.1 and B7.5.
WaTer SySTeM
The SP1E16A saw provides a hardy water plumbing
system that evenly distributes optimum water volume and
flow rate to both sides of the blade to keep the blade cool
when cutting. The basic water system consist of a standard
"garden hose" valve that connects the water source (via a
hose) to the saw.
