General Information
The MQ Whiteman SP2 CE series walk-behind saws are designed
for wet 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 blade vibrations while cutting.
By minimizing blade vibrations the performance of the blade is
enhanced and thus the life of the blade is extended.
Heavy-duty front and rear axles, sturdy oversized wheels, and
industrial undercarriage assembly ensure accurate tracking and
years of reliable use.
Additionally, the general strength-to-weight ratio design of the
frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum weight
distribution to keep the blade running true in the cut. A rugged
spindle bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter and shaft
harmonics providing the most advantageous condition for a
diamond blade at operating speeds.
The SP2 CE series saw comes equipped with a 20-inch blade
guard and handles Diamond Blades™ ranging in size from 12-20-
inches in diameter.
A threaded, manual raise/lower assembly easily raises and lowers
the blade and locks it into position to ensure a constant depth cut. All
SP2 CE series saws are equipped with a retractable cutting guide,
oversized roller bearing wheels, industrial spindle bearings, and a
rigid steel frame.
All MQ Whiteman SP2 CE series saws are designed,
engineered and manufactured with strict adherence to
American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) guidelines
B7.1 and B7.5.
Water System
All SP2 CE series saws provide a hardy water plumbing system
that evenly distributes water volume and optimum flow rate to
both sides of the blade to keep it cool when cutting. The basic
water system provides a valve that connects to a standard garden
hose. The water is delivered (via a hose) to the saw blade. A water
tank delivery system is optional.
Power Plants
The SP2 CE saw is classified in the industry as a "low to medium"
powered saw. This classification is particularly useful when selecting
the proper diamond blade for an application.
There are two gasoline engines used with the SP2 CE series
saws: A
13 HP Honda GX390K1QWT2 air-cooled, 4-stroke
single cylinder, OVH rated at 3600 RPM and a 20HP Honda
GX620TXF2 air-cooled, 4-stroke OVH 90° V-twin rated at 3600
RPM. Blade rotation is v-belt driven. This is accomplished by
connecting to the output shaft of the engine to an upper drive
pulley. The lower drive pulley (Blade) is then connected to the
upper drive pulley (Engine) by three V-belts. As the engine shaft
rotates, so does the blade.
Refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions
regarding engine operation and maintenance practices.
Intended Use
Operate the SP2 CE Saw, tools and components in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools for
stated operation is considered contrary to designated use. The
risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damages as a result of misuse.
This saw is not intended for dry cutting.
