For Dry Cutting:
Consult Blade Manufacturer
for Maximum Depth of Cut.
Starting and Controlling the Cut:
• Engine must be at FULL THROTTLE.
• Move CLUTCH lever to DRIVE position and adjust SPEED CONTROL (Figure 8).
• Pull knob up on the Depth Control Handwheel (Figure 6), slowly turn Handwheel in
DOWN direction (counter clockwise) until blade comes in contact with slab surface.
• Set the Depth Gauge (Figure 7) at ZERO .
• Continue turning the Handwheel until blade has penetrated the slab to desired depth.
Note: Depth gauge is an approximate measurement - it is not exact.
• Deep cutting should be achieved in 2”- 3” steps.
Never cut deeper than the maximum depth of cut for the blade being used.
Only cut in a forward direction.
Always cut with the engine at full throttle.
Controlling Speed:
• The SS-24 uses a hydrostatic transmission, chain and gear drive
mechanism that engages both rear wheels to achieve forward and
reverse movement. Machine speed is controlled by using the Speed
Control lever (figure 8).
Actual cutting speed is determined by type of blade, material to be
cut and depth of cut. Adjust forward speed to meet cutting conditions.
Note: If while cutting, the front wheels start to lift, reduce forward speed.
For positioning the saw, the maximun forward speed is 200ft
per minute. For safety reasons when in reverse the SS-24 is designed to
move at a slow walking pace. Do not force it to go faster.
Left or Right Side Cutting:
• If circumstances require a left side cut, see page 13 for instructions on
moving the blade and blade guard.
