Functional description

The floor saw must only be operated in a forward direction (see arrow).
The drive motor (1) attached to the frame drives the cutting blade via the belt (2).
The cutting blade can be infinitely adjusted by means of a crank handle (3), 1 turn
corresponds to a cutting depth adjustment of 5 mm.
The cutting blade guard (4) can be swiveled upwards to make it easier to assemble
and disassemble the cutting blade.
Furthermore, the cutting blade guard can be connected with the water tank by
means of a hose (5) and an adapter.
Wetting the cutting blade with water prevents dust from developing.
The adapter on the water hose allows the connection of an external water supply.
The drive motor speed can be infinitely adjusted by means of the gas throttle lever
(6), whereby the optimum cutting blade speed is reached when the drive motor is
operated at full throttle.
To facilitate the starting procedure, the drive motor is equipped with a choke.

General instructions for use for diamond-edged


cutting blades
„ Never use a cutting blade with a larger diameter than necessary in order to cut
a certain depth.
„ If the cutting blade comes to a standstill, remove it from the cut before starting
the machine again. If the cutting blade comes to a standstill in the cut, check
whether the belt is tightened adequately. Check the tension screw and make
sure that it is tightened properly.
„ Cut in a straight line. Mark the cutting line clearly in such a way that the
operational personnel can follow it easily. This is to ensure that the floor saw
machine does not need to be redirected from one side to the other (avoid cutting
tight curves).
„ Sufficient drive power is essential! When cutting, work at full throttle.
„ Caution on steep tracks and levels! The machine must not exert lateral force
against the blade.
„ Never exceed the maximum speeds (imprinted on cutting blade)!
„ Use a suitable diamond-edged cutting blade for the material to be cut (asphalt,
concrete ...). Atlas Copco offers an extensive range of diamond-edged cutting
blades in different qualities.
„ Do not cut into the gravel area using diamond-edged cutting blades. When
cutting on the edge of the track or when cutting two different materials (cutting
in the joint area), uneven wear is possible. Check carefully for irregularities
(reinforcements etc.) in the material to be processed. These can overload the
cutting blade very quickly. When starting cutting operations, work carefully and
with a low down speed.
„ Do not process loose materials (e. g. paving stones).

Cutting depth setting

With the crank (1) you can set the cutting depth precisely. One turn
changes the cutting depth by exactly 5 mm. Turn the crank in the clock-
wise direction to increase the cutting depth and turn it in the counter-
clockwise direction to reduce the cutting depth.
Note: You can also insert the supplied tool into the receptacle (2) near
the crank and thus prevent an unintentional change of the cutting depth.

Depth of cut indicator

You can use the indicator to check the cutting depth currently set. It fea-
tures a cm-scale and an inch-scale. You have to adjust it to the diameter
of the blade currently installed to obtain the correct value. To do this, turn
the crank (1) until the blade touches the ground, loosen the clamp (2) and
push the sleeve (3) with the scale up to the bottom of the sleeve. Then

Cleaning the air cleaner


A dirty air cleaner obstructs the flow of air to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunctions, clean the air cleaner on a regular basis. Clean the filter more
frequently if the engine is operated in an extremely dusty environment.
Warning: Never use gasoline or cleaning solutions with a low flash point to clean
the air cleaner cartridge. This could cause a fire or worse an explosion.
Caution: Never run the engine without an air cleaner. This leads to undue engine
wear.
1. Remove the wing nuts and the air cleaner cap. Take out the elements and
separate them. Check both elements for holes or tears and replace them as
needed.
2. Foam element: Wash out the element in warm soap water, rinse it and
allow it to completely dry. If necessary, wash out the element in a clean-
ing solution with high flash point and allow it to dry.
3. Paper element: Tap the element lightly against a hard surface a few
times to loosen excess dirt. Never attempt to brush off the dirt, since this
will rub the dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper element if it is very dirty.
Cleaning the cyclone housing:
If dirt accumulates in the cyclone housing, unscrew the three special flat
head screws and wipe the components or rinse them with water. Then
completely dry off the components and assemble them carefully.
Caution:
„ During the reassembly of the cyclone, make sure that the cloth of the air inlet fits
properly into the groove of the preliminary filter cap.
„ Install the air horn in the correct direction.

Cleaning the filter cup


Close the fuel tap. Remove the filter cup with the o-ring and wash it out
with non-combustible and low-flammable solvent. Allow it to completely
dry, then reinstall it and tighten it firmly. Open the fuel tap and check for
leaks.
