5. For Saws With Electric Motors:
Connect motor to a properly grounded outlet. Motor may be operated on 115 or 230
volts. Set switch on motor capacitor housing to match desired voltage. Plug on
motor cord must also be changed to match correct voltage.
WARNING:
Always make sure that motor is connected to a properly grounded outlet. Failure
to do so may result in serious bodily injury or death. Do not operate motor on low
voltage. It may cause power loss, overheating, or burn out motor windings.
Check voltage at motor while operating. Comply with all local electrical codes. If
you are unsure, check with an electrician.
Proper voltage is critical for proper motor performance. Extension cords which are too
long and/or too small of a gauge will prevent motor from receiving full voltage. Follow
extension cord recommendations below:
CORD
1.5 HP 2.5 HP
LENGTH 115V 230V 115V 230V
50 FT. #12 #14 #10 #14
75 FT. #12 #14 #10 #14
100 FT. #10 #14 #8 #12
Turn switch to “ON” position to start electric motor. If motor overheats, the manual reset
thermal overload will trip. Turn motor off, wait 5-10 minutes for motor to cool, and push
reset button on capacitor housing. Button clicks to indicate that motor is reset.
For saws with gas engines:
Check engine oil level before starting. Start engine and allow it to warm up according to
engine manual instructions. After engine warms up, all sawing is done at full throttle.
To cut material, either:
a) Pull cutting head down by handle to desired cutting depth. It is best to use the entire
diamond segment height to cut. Tighten handle on depth lock to keep cutting head
at set height.
CAUTION:
Take care not to saw conveyor cart in half. Cutting head pivot range allows
operator to “use up” an abrasive blade, but allows the risk of cutting
conveyor cart.
CAUTION:
Do not allow material being cut to rub against blade flanges. This will damage
them and they will need to replaced.
