Pos. Description
1 Cutting blade guard
Description
Application
Cutting expansion joints in concrete and asphalt surfaces.
Repair work on streets, e.g. cutting out damaged areas in asphalt and concrete.
Straightening blacktops and concrete surfaces.
For demolition jobs and refurbishment of old buildings.
Sawing off precast concrete parts.
Expansion joints and installation channels in floors.
Laying induction loops and cables in signal installations.
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.
Requirements:
When transporting the floor saw, use only suitable hoisting gear with a minimum
load-bearing capacity of 150 kg.
Always turn off the motor during transportation!
Empty the water tank!
Remove the cutting blade prior to transport. Set the lowest cutting position on
the floor saw.
Remove the water tank and attach the hoisting gear on the transport strap (1)
for lifting.
If you transport the floor saw on the cargo area of a vehicle, strap it down
securely on the special safety bar.
Fold the guide wheel to the top and the handles to the front (or the stirrup handle
to the top).
Handles, guide wheel and other operating controls must not be used as
attachment points.
Note: Also observe the regulations in the chapter Safety information.
Operation
The width and height of the handles can be adjusted according to the use
and the body height of the operator. To do this, release the clamping le-
ver (1) and apply it in the new position.
Stirrup handle (alternative version)
The height of the stirrup handle can be adjusted according to the use and
the body height of the operator.
Loosen the knurled screws (1) on both sides, swivel the handle to the de-
sired position and retighten the two knurled screws.
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.
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
tighten the clamp (2) again.
Water tank
Note: You should remove the water tank if the machine is connected to an
external water supply.
Parking brake
Integrated parking brake
The machine features an integrated parking brake.
The front wheels are automatically blocked in transport position (lowest
cutting position without a cutting blade) or if the maximum cutting depth
is exceeded.
Fuel
Do not smoke during refueling and make sure that there are no open
flames or sparks in the immediate vicinity.
Turn off the engine and open the fuel tank cap.
Only use leadfree fuel.
Close the fuel tap before the fuel tank is filled with fuel.
Always use the fuel filter when refilling fuel.
Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Air cleaner
Check if the air cleaner cartridges and the cyclone housing are clean and
in good condition. If needed, clean or replace the cartridges.
Note: Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
5. Pull the starter handle slowly until you feel resistance and then pull the
handle fully out with force.
Note: Caution: Do not suddenly let go of the recoil starter handle but guide it
back gently by hand to prevent damage to the starter.
Once the engine has warmed up, gradually slide the choke lever to the
OPEN position. Set the desired engine speed via the throttle lever (4).
Oil level warning system
The oil level warning system is designed to prevent engine damage
caused by insufficient oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level can drop
below the safe minimum level, the oil level warning system will automat-
ically shut off the engine (the main switch remains in the position "1").
