How to Use concrete blade

The following is a list of safety practices which must be observed when sawing with concrete blade:

1. Keep the area around the saw free from debris which could cause falls.

2. Prohibit the use of the saw by unauthorized or untrained personnel.

3. Keep the conveyor cart free of grit and debris which could allow the material to slip or twist during cutting operations.

4. Hold the material firmly against the backstop of the conveyor cart or guide-a-cut, keeping fingers out of the path of the blade.

5. Position the saw on a firm, flat area and be sure that the saw will not move in use.

6. Replace blade collars if they become worn to less than 4" diameter for 18" and 20" blades, or less than 3 1/2" diameter on 14" blades.

How to Use Concrete blade for Dry Cutting

1. Use a proper blade which is clearly marked for dry cutting.

2. Remove water curtain.

3. Disconnect the electric water pump.

4. Use “Step Cutting” when using wet or dry cutting diamond blades or abrasive blades. Choose “Step Cutting” from the menu at the left side of this page for more information.

5. Dry cut only in large open areas with adequate ventilation.

How to Use Concrete Saw for Wet Cutting

1. Prepare water supply.

2. Install water curtain on cutting head pivot bar.

3. Be sure the water pump is plugged into the connection on the masonry saw motor. (It will start when the main switch is turned on.)

4. Handle on petcock should be turned in line with the water flow. Start motor and be certain that both sides of the blade are getting an adequate flow of water.

5. At all times make sure that the water level covers the screen on the bottom of the pump. Do not let sludge and dirt get deep enough in the pan to block the pump inlet.

6. Use “Step Cutting” with abrasive blades. Choose “Step Cutting” from the menu at the left side of this page for more information.

7. Use “Jam Cutting” or “Step Cutting” with diamond blades. Choose “Jam Cutting” or “Step Cutting” from the menu at the left side of this page for more information.
