General infOrMatiOn
iNTeNDeD uSe
The SP2S20H saw is designed for pavement cutting
utilizing diamond blades. Operation of the saw should be
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result
of misuse.
FaMiliarizaTioN
The saw has 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 saw comes equipped with a 20-inch blade guard and
is engineered to optimize performance using a 20-inch
diamond blade. Diamond blades ranging from 14", 16" and
18" may be used with reduced overall performance.
A threaded, manual, raise/lower assembly easily raises
and lowers the blade and locks it into position to ensure a
constant depth cut. The saw is equipped with a retractable
cutting guide, oversized roller bearing wheels, industrial
spindle bearings, and a rigid steel frame.
CoNSole
An ergonomically designed control console allows the
operator to easily understand and/or operate the adjustable
handlebars, the Raise/Lower Crank Handle, and the
transmission engage/disengage lever. Additionally, the
console also provides a forward/reverse control.
poWer plaNTS
The SP2S20H saw is classified in the industry as a
"medium" powered saw. This classification is particularly
useful when selecting the proper diamond blade for an
application.
The SP2S20H uses a 20HP Honda GX630RTXF2 air-
cooled, 4-stroke OVH gasoline engine. 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 four 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.
The Sp2S20h saw is designed, engineered and
manufactured with strict adherence to american
National Standards institute, inc. (aNSi) guidelines
B7.1 and B7.5.
WaTer SySTeM
The SP2S20H saw provides a 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 standard garden hose) to the
blade guard water plumbing system. When a water source
is not available, a (built-in) removable water tank delivery
system may be used for dust suppression.
