General Information
The SP213H20A and SP2S20H20A pavement saws are CE-
compliant.
The SP2 series saws are designed for wet cutting of pavement
utilizing diamond blades. These saws have been engineered for
general and industrial flat sawing applications.The reinforced
steel box frame design adds strength necessary to reduce blade
vibrations while cutting. By minimizing blade vibrations the
performance of the blade is enhanced and thus the life of the blade
is extended.
Heavy-duty front and rear axles, sturdy oversized wheels, and
industrial undercarriage assembly ensure accurate tracking and
years of reliable use.
Additionally, the general strength-to-weight ratio design of the
frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum weight
distribution to keep the blade running true in the cut. A rugged
spindle bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter and shaft
harmonics providing the most advantageous condition for a
diamond blade at operating speeds.
The SP2 series saw comes equipped with a 20-inch blade guard
and handles diamond blades ranging in size from 12-20-inches in
diameter.
A threaded, manual raise/lower assembly easily raises and lowers
the blade and locks it into position to ensure a constant depth cut. All
SP2 series saws are equipped with a retractable cutting guide,
oversized roller bearing wheels, industrial spindle bearings, and a
rigid steel frame.
All SP2 series saws are designed, engineered and
manufactured with strict adherence to American National
Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) guidelines B7.1 and B7.5.
Water System
All SP2 series saws provide a hardy water plumbing system that
evenly distributes water volume and optimum flow rate to both
sides of the blade to keep it cool when cutting. The basic water
system provides a valve that connects to a standard garden hose.
The water is delivered (via a hose) to the saw blade. A water tank
delivery system is optional.
Power Plants
The SP2 saw is classified in the industry as a "low to medium"
powered saw. This classification is particularly useful when selecting
the proper diamond blade for an application.
There are two gasoline engines used with the SP2 series saws:
A
13 HP Honda GX390K1QWT2 air-cooled, 4-stroke single
cylinder, OVH rated at 3600 RPM and a 20HP Honda
GX620TXF2 air-cooled, 4-stroke OVH 90° V-twin rated at 3600
RPM. Blade rotation is v-belt driven. This is accomplished by
connecting to the output shaft of the engine to an upper drive
pulley. The lower drive pulley (Blade) is then connected to the
upper drive pulley (Engine) by three V-belts. As the engine shaft
rotates, so does the blade.
Refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions
regarding engine operation and maintenance practices.
Intended Use
Operate the SP2 Saw, tools and components in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any other tools for
stated operation is considered contrary to designated use. The
risk of such use lies entirely with the user. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damages as a result of misuse.
This saw is not intended for dry cutting.
■ Engine Stop Switch conveniently located on handle bar
■ Super-rigid box frame- ensures straight cuts while resisting
warping and blade vibration

■ Comfortable grip handles
■ Easy cranking for manually raising/lowering the blade to the
desired cutting height
■ Hinged front, lift-up blade guard is designed to provide easy
blade replacement
■ Saw position guide helps ensure straight cuts
■ Water system provides optimum flow and volume of water to
both sides of the blade
■ manually operated wheel clamps help to prevent unwanted
displacement of saw
