MAKING THE CUT
1) Clean the curb area to provide a smooth surface for the rider saw. An
uneven roadbed can result in an uneven cut.
2) Align the rider saw and the blade position to make the initial cut. A
digital level is provided to help set the blade parallel to the roadbed.
3) Using the horizontal control, cut about halfway into the curb. At a slow
steady travel speed, make the required length of cut. Return to the start
point, realign and cut through the remaining depth. Some operators may
prefer to make a single thru cut. Driving in reverse and pulling the blade
through the cut is more stable. Driving forward and pushing the blade
through the cut also works but is best reserved for short distances.
Individual operator preferences will vary.
4) Most of the curb can now be broken out and removed.
5) Align the saw and the pitch angle to make the end cut. Using the
horizontal control, cut through the curb.
WATER SUPPLY
A water tank is provided with the unit and should be adequate for cutting a
typical residential driveway. Take care to turn off the pump when not cutting to
conserve water.
The tank can be bypassed with an external supply simply by attaching a hose to
fittings at the rear of the unit.
GREASE
Grease fittings (nine total) are at the left and right sides of the vertical and roll
carriages, top and bottom of the horizontal carriage and at the pitch shaft
bearing (1). Grease every 40 hours of operation. Two additional fittings are at
the blade shaft pillow block. Grease these two every 8 hours of operation.
