TRAK 14 — GENERAL INFORMATION
TRAK-14 Masonry Saw
The TRAK-14 masonry saw is designed for vigorous wet-cutting
masonry applications. The heavy-duty aluminum conveyor cart
and ball bearing roller wheels ensure material stability and
smooth travel. In addition a reinforced jig-welded steel frame
provides rigidity for cutting accuracy and long service life.
This saw is available with either an electric motor or a gasoline
engine . The heavy duty electric motors are available in either
1.5 HP or 2.0 HP with overload protection. Each motor can
operate at either 115 VAC or 230 VAC. The electric motor input
voltage is selectable by means of a toggle switch. Always make
sure that the input voltage being supplied to the motor matches
the position of the voltage selector toggle switch located on top
of the motor.
If desired, the TRAK-14 saw can be configured with a 5.5 HP
Honda GX160 gasoline engine.
All TRAK-14 models include a high flow water pump, cutting jig,
water hoses and associated plumbing to enable the operator to
begin wet cutting.
Dry Cutting Applications
The TRAK-14 masonry saw is shipped from the factory for wet-
cutting saw applications, however it can be used for dry-cutting
saw applications (see dry-cutting saw applications in this
manual). The most import thing to remember is to
disconnect
the water pump . The water pump is cooled by the flow of water,
and failure to disconnect the pump (when running dry) will cause
pump failure. NEVER! have the water pump engaged when dry
cutting applications are involved.
Blade Applications
This saw has been designed to incorporate the use of Diamond
Blades
™ as the cutting tool. The optimum performance of this
saw is best evidenced by using 14-inch (356 mm) Diamond
Blades
™ that match the material being cut. Ask your dealer, or
call STOW about your specific cutting application.
