STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions mentioned above. WARNING Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheet and/or consult your employer, the material manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful effects. Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the materials being used.

STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION The STOW CUTTER 1 CE saws are designed for wet cutting of concrete or asphalt 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 CUTTER 1 CE series saw comes equipped with an 18-inch blade guard and handles Diamond Blades ranging in size from 12- 18-inches in diameter. An ACME thread, manual raise/lower assembly easily raises and lowers the blade and locks it into position to ensure a constant depth cut. All CUTTER 1 CE series saws are equipped with a retractable cutting guide, oversized roller bearing wheels, industrial spindle bearings, and a rigid steel frame. All STOW CUTTER 1 CE 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 CUTTER 1 CE 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 CUTTER 1 CE saw is classified in the industry as a "low" powered saw. This classification is particularly useful when selecting the proper diamond blade for an application. The CUTTER 1 CE saw is powered by a HONDA GX-390 air cooled, 4-stroke, single cylnder, OHV gasoline engine rated at 13 HP (9.6 kW) at 3,600 RPM. Blade rotation is V-belt driven. The upper drive (engine) pulley on the output shaft of the engine connects to the lower drive (spindle) pulley and thus, the blade, by three V-Belts. As the engine shaft rotates, so does the blade. The ratio, or difference between the engine speed and the spindle (blade) speed is determined by the two different sizes of pulleys used. Refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions regarding engine operation and maintenance practices. Intended Use Operate the CUTTER 1 CE 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 ■ Rugged roller bearing wheels for long service life ■ 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 Features General Information

Figure 9. Pulley Alignment 3. Check V-belt tension by using a tension meter (3.0 lbs./ 1.36Kg) against the inside belt at a mid point between the two pulleys, or by deflecting the center belt at a mid point 3/16" (5 mm). 4. DO NOT over or under tighten the V-belt. Severe damage can occur to the saw and engine crankshaft if the belt is over-tensioned. A decrease of power to the blade and poor performance will result if the belt is under-tensioned (loose on pulleys). Figure 8. V-Belt Cover V-belt Alignment and Tensioning This saw is equipped with premium V-belts that have been aligned and tensioned by factory personnel. The V-belt must be aligned and tensioned for proper operation of the saw. Use the following procedure to check the alignment of V-belt: 1. Remove the bolts that secure the V-belt cover (Figure 8) to the saw frame. 2. Check uniform parallelism (Figure 9) of V-belt and pulley (sheaves). Use a straight-edge or machinist's square against both pulleys and adjust both pulleys until equally aligned. NOTE V-belt alignment must be rechecked after adjusting belt tension. STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — PREPARATION/PRE-INSPECTION NEVER operate the saw without blade guards and covers in place. DO NOT operate with the front of the blade guard raised. The blade exposure cannot exceed 180 degrees during operation. Adhere to the safety guidelines or other applicable local regulations. WARNING Figure 7. Blade Guard CHECK the following on the blade guard (Figure 7): ■ Ensure the capacity of the blade guard is correct for an 18" Diamond Blade. ■ Check that the guard is bolted firmly upon the saw frame. ■ Check that the spring tensioned front cover of the guard is firmly seated with the rear section of the guard and there are no gaps. NEVER lift the blade guard while engine is running. NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe injury can occur. Keep fingers, hands, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts. V-Belt Check A worn or damaged V-belt can adversely affect the performance of the saw. If a V-belt is defective or worn, replace ALL the V- belts. V-belts should always be replaced in sets. Guards And Covers ENSURE the V-belt Cover is in place and securely fastened during operation of the saw (Figure 7). WARNING

Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade (Figure 10) for operational safety could result in damage to the blade or the saw, and may cause injury to the user or others in the operating area. Discard damaged or worn blades and replace with fresh blade. Figure 10. Diamond Blade 1. Drive Pin Hole – A commonly located hole on the diamond blade core that prevents operational blade slippage between the inner & outer blade flanges (collars). Inspect the diameter of the hole to ensure there is no distortion, and that a snug fit develops between the hole and drive pin. 2. Stress Relief Holes (Gullets) – Check the steel core for cracks that may have propagated from the slots and/or gullets. Cracks indicate extreme fatigue failure and if sawing continues, catastrophic failure will occur. 3. Edge Of The Steel Core – Check the diameter edge for discoloration (blue oxidation) indicating an overheating condition caused by insufficient cooling water/air. Overheating of blades may lead to loss of core tension and/or increase the possibility for blade failure. Check to make sure the steel core’s width is uniform about the rim of the blade, and not succumbing to an “under cutting” condition brought about by highly abrasive material or improper under cutting core protection. 4. Directional Arrow – Check to ensure that the blade is oriented properly on the spindle for sawing. Reference the directional arrow on the blade and place it so the direction of rotation “downcuts” with the turn of the shaft. 5. Diamond Segment or Rim – Ensure there are no cracks, dings, or missing portions of the diamond segment/rim. DO NOT use a blade that is missing a segment or a portion of the rim. Damaged and/or missing segments/rims may cause damage to your saw, and injury to the user or others in the operating area. 6. Specifications – Ensure that the blade specifications, size, and diameter properly match up to the sawing operation. Wet blades must have water to act as a coolant. Utilizing a diamond blade not matched properly to the task may result in poor performance and/or blade damage. 7. Arbor Hole – It is essential that the arbor hole diameter properly matches the shaft arbor, and that it is free from distortions. Correct blade flanges (collars) must be used. The inside face of the flanges must be clean & free of debris. An out of round arbor condition will cause damage to the blade and the saw. 8. MAX RPM – This RPM reference is the maximum safe operating speed for the blade selected. NEVER exceed the max RPM on the diamond blade. Exceeding the MAX RPM is dangerous, and may cause poor performance and may damage the blade. All blades used must be designed for the maximum spindle RPM. STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW— BLADES SPECIFIC TOOLS TO BE USED This saw is to use tools (blades) as follows: Steel Core Segmented or Continuous Diamond Rim Cutting Wheel. Any other type of tool is not to be used. See Table 4 for specific blade usage for material. WARNING

WARNING Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade for operational safety could result in damage to the blades or the saw and may cause injury to the user or others in the operating area. 2. Blade Guard - Pivot the blade guard front cover all the way back. The guard tension spring will keep the front cover in position. 3. Blade Hex Nut - Unscrew the spindle nut (right side loosens clockwise and tightens counter-clockwise while the left side loosens counter-clockwise and tightens clockwise. DO NOT overtighten the nut (approximately 45-50 ft. lb/61-68 N/m) when finalizing the assembly. 4. Outside Blade Flange (Collar) - Ensure that the outside blade flange is placed flush against the diamond blade. The inside surface of the flange must be free of debris and permit a tight closure on the surface of the blade core. 5. Diamond Blade - Ensure that the proper diamond blade has been selected for the job. Pay close attention to the directional arrows on the blade. The blade's operating directional arrows must point in a "down-cutting" direction to perform correctly. When placing the blade onto the spindle, ensure the arbor hole of the blade matches the diameter of the shaft. BLADE PLACEMENT STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW— BLADE PLACEMENT Diamond Blades Selecting the diamond blade TYPE and GRADE defines how the blade will perform both in cutting speed and blade life. Selection of the proper diamond blade consists of: � Material to be Cut � Type of Saw Being Used � Horsepower of Saw � Hardness Characteristics of the Material � Performance Expectations Factors for sawing economy: � Type of Blade � Depth of Cut � Sawing Speed � Characteristics of the Material Being Cut Blade Speed A diamond blade’s performance is directly connected to specific peripheral (rim) speeds. The following shaft rotational speeds have been factory set to ensure optimum blade performance. � CUTTER 1 CE 18” Capacity - 2,836 RPM. Operating saw blades at rotational speeds greater than those specified by the manu- facture can cause blade damage, and may injure the user or others in the operating area.

STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — INITIAL START-UP DO NOT attempt to operate the saw until this manual has been read and thoroughly understood. Engine operating steps may vary. See included engine manufacturer's operating manual. Figure 16. Engine Fuel Valve Lever 2. Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and that it is raised above the surface you are about to saw. 3. Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 16) to the "ON" position. 4. Place the ENGINE ON/OFF switch located on the ENGINE (Figure 18) in the "ON" position. Place the ENGINE ON/OFF switch located on the HANDLEBARS (Figure 14) in the "ON" (center) position. NEVER operate the saw in a confined area or enclosed structure that does not provide ample free flow of air. INITIAL START-UP Ensure the work area is clear of tool, debris, and unauthorized people. NOTE The Engine Stop Switch located on the handlebar (Figure 14) serves both as an Emergency Engine Shut-Off and as the primary ON/OFF switch. This allows the operator to shutdown the saw safely away from moving parts. Figure 17. Engine ON/OFF Switch (On Engine) NEVER place hands or feet inside the belt guard or blade guard while the engine is running. ALWAYS shut the engine down before performing any kind of maintenance service on the saw Figure 14. Engine Stop Switches WARNING ALWAYS wear approved eye and hearing protection while operating the saw. 1. Keep Wheel Clamp (Figure 15) applied (lever DOWN) until completely ready for cutting o peration. Figure 15.

7. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 21) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting. Figure 21. Starter Grip 9. Before the saw is placed into operation, run the engine for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that could be associated with loose guards and/or covers. STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — INITIAL START-UP DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end. DO NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as possible. 6. Rotate the throttle lever (Figure 20) halfway between fast and slow for starting. All sawing is done at full throttle. The engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum blade operating speeds. Figure 20. Throttle Lever 8. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 20) to the "OPEN" position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 7. The engine speed has been set at the factory. Changing the governor speed could damage the blade and/or the saw. 5. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 19) in the "CLOSED " position. Figure 18. Engine Stop Switch (Handlebar) The CLOSED position of the choke lever enriches the fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine. The OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal operation after starting, and for restarting a warm engine. Figure 19. Choke Lever NOTE CAUTION CAUTION

STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — OPERATION ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while operating this equipment. WARNING 4. When blade has reached full cutting depth, slowly walk behind the saw at a rate that will allow the engine to operate without losing optimum RPM. 5. When the end of the cut has been reached, use the raise/ lower crank on the console to raise the blade out of the cut. 6. When cutting is complete, turn the engine OFF using the ENGINE STOP TOGGLE SWITCH on the handlebars, and wait for the blade to stop rotating. DO NOT try to cut faster than the blade will allow. Cutting too fast will cause the blade to rise up out of the cut. Improper cutting rate can decrease the life of the engine and blades. ALWAYS cut with the saw at FULL THROTTLE. Attempting to cut with the saw at less than full throttle could cause the blade to bind or stop abruptly in the slab resulting in serious injury to the operator or others in the area. WARNING 3. To begin sawing, use the raise/lower crank handle on the console to lower the rotating blade allowing it to cut to the preset depth. OPERATION 1. Start the engine as described in the previous section. Rotate the throttle lever (Figure 20) toward full throttle. Ensure water supply system is in operation. Turn valve to start flow of water. (For water tank option, see page 29.) NOTE Mark the cutting line clearly and always saw in a STRAIGHT LINE ONLY. Ensure the cutting area is clear of tools, debris, and unauthorized people. NOTE 7. Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. 8. Place the water valve in the OFF position (as required). Engine components and the blade can get EXTREMELY HOT! during operation. ALWAYS allow the engine and blade to cool before handling or servicing. 9. Push the Wheel Clamp Levers downward to apply braking pressure to the wheels (Figure 22). Whenever the saw is not in operation or being moved or transported, apply the wheel clamp brakes to prevent unwanted displacement. Figure 22. Wheel Clamp The Engine Stop Switch located on the handlebar (Figure 18) serves both as an Emergency Engine Shut-Off and as the primary ON/OFF switch. This allows the operator to shutdown the saw safely away from moving parts. 2. Release Wheel Clamps by pulling levers UP. unlock position lock position CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION

STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — OPERATION Restarting After Intervention If cutting is interrupted where the engine stops or is turned off while the blade is still in the cut: a. Turn Engine Off switches to "OFF" b. Raise the blade out of the cut c. Restart the engine as described in the previous section. If cutting is interrupted where the blade is stuck in the cut: a. Turn Engine Off switches to "OFF". b. Remove the blade guard. c. Remove blade mounting bolt and outer flange. d. Maneuver the saw away from the stuck blade. e. A parallel cut made next to the blade may be necessary to free it. f. Once the blade is freed inspect the blade for damage; discard if damaged. e Ensure an undamaged, useable blade is installed on the saw before cutting is resumed with that saw. The only acceptable method for freeing a stuck blade is to remove the saw from the stuck or pinched blade. DO NOT try to get the blade unstuck using the Raise/Lower system or by lifting the saw by the lifting bale, etc. CAUTION Cutting Close to a Vertical Surface Follow the following procedures when cutting up to a vertical surface (wall, steps, etc.). Use EXTREME CAUTION when performing the the following operations: WARNING! c. Lift the guard up and back until the retaining spring acts to hold the guard in the “up” posiiton. d. Return to the operator postion between the handles. e. Restart the blade rotation. f. Carefully cut up to the vertical surface and then back up enough to allow the blade guard to be lowered. g. Stop the blade rotation. h. Lower the blade guard to its original postion. a. Stop blade rotation far enough from vertical surface to permit lifting front section of blade guard. b. Grasp the front section of the blade guard from the outside only (NEVER extend fingers into guard!)

Drive Belt Refer to page 18 of this manual for Drive Belt adjustment procedures and Removal and Replacement procedures. See the engine manual supplied with your machine for appropriate engine maintenance schedule and troubleshooting guide for problems. STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — MAINTENANCE ALWAYS allow the engine to cool before servicing. NEVER attempt any maintenance work on a hot! engine. ■ REMOVING or INSTALLING blades ■ ADJUSTING front or rear pointers ■ LUBRICATING any components ■ REMOVING engine mounting bolts ■ INSPECTING, ADJUSTING, OR REPLACING drivebelt, spindle, spindle bearings or ANY engine part ■ REMOVING blade or belt guards Saw Blade Removal and Installation See page 21. Chassis Lubrication ■ Spindle Bearings - Two zerk fittings are located up under the lower-front of the saw. Lubricate before daily use. Use a good quality extreme pressure grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit is under heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can damage the grease seals. This can result in bearing exposure to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten the life of the bearings. Excess grease can also drip onto the cutting surface. MAINTENANCE CAUTION General Cleanliness Clean the machine daily. Remove all dust and slurry build up. If the saw is steam cleaned, ensure that lubrication is accom- plished AFTER steam cleaning operations. Engine check: Check daily for any oil and/or fuel leakage, thread nut & bolt tightness, and overall cleanliness. ALWAYS ensure that both ENGINE ON/ OFF switches (on the handlebar and on the engine) are in the "OFF" position, and that the spindle has COMPLETELY STOPPED ROTATING before performing any of the the following operations: CAUTION Some maintenance operations may require the engine to be run. Ensure that the mainte- nance area is well ventilated. Exhaust con- tains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause of unconsciousness and may re- sult in DEATH. Before servicing or inspection, ALWAYS park the saw on a level surface with the blade removed, and the handlebar En- gine ON/OFF switch & Engine ON/OFF switch in “OFF” position. General maintenance practices are crucial to the performance and longevity of your saw. The extreme environments of sawing operations require routine cleaning, lubrication, belt tensioning, and inspection for wear and damage DANGER The following procedures devoted to maintenance performed by competent persons can prevent serious saw damage or mal- functioning. WARNING Engine air filter: Replace air filter if dirty. See Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information. General Engine Care Engine oil: Check daily. Inspect with blade removed and saw frame level on a level surface. Keep the oil clean, and at the proper servicing level (Figure 7). DO NOT OVERFILL! SAE 10W- 30 of SG is recommended for general use.

STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — MAINTENANCE Figure 23. Engine Oil Change Dispose of used oil properly. DO NOT pour used oil on the ground, down a drain, or throw in the trash. Used oil can generally be taken to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Follow all required environmental rules and regulations required in your area concerning the disposal of hazardous waste such as used oil and oil filters. NOTE 4. Make sure the engine is in a level position and fill to the outer edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil. (See Table 3.) Engine oil capacity is 1.16 US quart (1.1 liter). Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. 5. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely. 1. Place an oil pan or suitable container below the engine drain plug to catch the used oil. 2. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and the drain plug. 3. Drain the oil completely and reinstall the drain plug. Ensure the drain plug is tightened securely. Drain the used oil while the engine is warm by the following method: Refer to Figure 23. CAUTION Engine oil change: Change engine oil the first month or 20 hours of operation. Then every 3 months/or 50 HOURS of operation. See Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information. 3. Adjust the front pointer wheel so it just touches the side of the straight-edge or level. 4. Remove the straight-edge or level. 5. Position the front pointer and blade directly over the chalk line. 6. Start the saw and lower the blade onto the chalk line. 7. Begin cutting and make sure the blade follows the chalk line as closely as possible. 8. The pointer should follow the chalk line as well. If it does not, adjust the pointer by loosening then tightening the jam nuts on the pointer until the pointer follows the same path as the blade. 1. Chalk out a straight line on the prepared slab or cutting surface. 2. Use a straight-edge or level by placing it flat against the blade. Front Pointer Adjustment The front pointer wheel has been set at the factory. Use these procedures only if the pointer is suspect of being out of alignment. Engine tank & strainer: Clean every year/or 300 hours. Fuel line: Replace every two years/or as necessary. Spark plug: Clean/adjust every 6 months/or 100 hours. Replace every year/ or 300 hours.
