D. Water Supply
Pressurized source: Turn the water control to full "ON" when using wet
cutting blades. The required flow rate is 5 to 8 gallons per minute.
Optional Water Pump: The optional water pump is centrifugal pump
designed to boost the flow rate of the water. In order for the optional water
pump to work correctly the system requires a pressurized water source or
the water source must be above the pump. The optional water pump will
not draw water from a supply tank. The part number for the optional water
pump kit is 237243.
1. Centrifugal pumps have a single rotating impeller. Liquid enters at the
center and is thrown outward radically by the centrifugal force. The impeller
is not in contact with other parts resulting in quiet efficient pumping action.
This pump is not self priming. It must be located below the liquid level so
liquid will flow to it by gravity. Air traps in piping must be avoided. Avoid
down loops where air can be trapped.
2. Excessive system pressure above 15 P.S.I. is not recommended as he
seal could be forced out of the pump housing. If water is to be pumped to
the saw; always place an inline shut-off valve in front of the water pump.
3. Replacement Water Pump Seal Kit: Part Number 107523
E. Operating the Saw
Before beginning inspect the work area, machine, and blade for problems or
hazards. Some areas may have underground utilities (water, gas lines, or
electrical lines) located and mark all utilities before beginning. Do not run this
machine or any internal combustion engine indoors or underground with out
proper ventilation and a proper exhaust system for indoors or underground
usage. The machine is not supplied with the proper exhaust for indoors or
underground usage.
