II. OPERATION
Read and understand this manual before running or
using the machine!
A. Installing the Blade
1. Insure that the Ignition Power Key Switch is in the OFF position and then
insert the Blade Shaft Locking Pin into the Blade Shaft Locking hole.
2. Remove the blade shaft screw, (NOTE: Operator’s Right side is a left
hand thread and the Operator’s Left side is right hand thread), and
remove the outside collar.
3. Clean off any foreign particles on the clamping surfaces of both collars
and on the mounting surface of the blade and inspect the both collars for
any damage and also inspect the drive pin for damage. Replace any
damage collars or pins before using the machine.
4. Inspect the blade for any damage, cracks, burnt or blue areas, missing
segments, and roundness of blade. Also inspect the arbor hole and
drive pin hole to insure both are round. If any problems are found do not
use the blade. In addition check that the blade is the correct
specification for the application.
5. Place the blade on the blade shaft, lining up the drive pin hole in the
blade with the drive pinhole in the inside collar. NOTE: Diamond blades
are direction dependent so verify the direction of rotation of the blade.
The machine will rotate the blade into the work surface (down cut).
Place the blade guard in position and insert the blade guard retainer pin.
Never operate the saw without the blade guard or blade guard retainer
pin in position See the following diagram Blade Shaft Installation on
page 10.
6. Slide the outside blade shaft collar onto the blade shaft. The drive pin on
the outside collar must project through the drive pin hole in the blade and
into the inside collar.
7. Tighten the blade shaft screw (counter-clockwise for the Operator’s
Right Hand side and clockwise for the Operator’s Left hand side) with
the 5/8” Flat Washer and 5/8 Lock Washer securely against the outside
collar and remove the Blade Shaft Locking Pin.
