proposition 65 warning Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drillingandotherconstructionactivities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Leadfromlead-basedpaints. Crystalline silicafrombricks. Cementandothermasonryproducts. Arsenicandchromiumfromchemically treatedlumber.
Silicosis/Respiratory Warnings WARNING WARNING SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS 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.

Safety Information Do not operate or service the equipment before reading the entire manual. Safety precautions should be followed at all times when operating this equipment. Failure to read and understand the safety messages and operating instructions could result in injury to yourself and others. Potential hazards associated with the operation of this equipment will be referenced with hazard symbols which may appear throughout this manual in conjunction with safety messages.
Safety Information geNeral SaFeTy CauTioN NeVer operate this equipment without proper protective clothing, shatterproof glasses, respiratory protection, hearing protection, steel-toed boots and other protective devices required by the job or city and state regulations. Avoid wearing jewelry or loose fitting clothes that may snag on the controls or moving parts as this can cause serious injury. NeVer operate this equipment when not feeling well due to fatigue, illness or when under medication.
Safety Information SaW SaFeTy DaNger. NeVer operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death. WarNiNg Accidental starting can cause severe injury or death. alWayS place the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. NeVer disconnect any emergency or safety devices. These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even death.
Safety Information BlaDe SaFeTy WarNiNg Rotating blade can cut and crush. alWayS keep hands and feet clear while operating the saw. CauTioN NeVer operate the saw without blade guards and covers in place. Exposure of the diamond blade must not exceed 180 degrees. alWayS ensure that unit is unplugged (disconnected) when installing blade. Verify the electric motor is set to the OFF position before installing a blade. alWayS inspect blade before each use.
Safety Information liFTiNg SaFeTy CauTioN NeVer allow any person or animal to stand underneath the equipment while lifting. Do NoT attempt to lift the saw by the guards, handle bars or front pointers. NOTICE When lifting of the saw is required, use a forklift. Do NoT lift machine to unnecessary heights. NeVer lift the equipment while the motor is running. alWayS use ramps capable of supporting the weight of the saw and the operator to load and unload the saw.

general information The Multiquip SP1E16A walk-behind saw is designed for wet or dry 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 vibrations while cutting. Minimizing vibrations enhances the performance of the blade and extends the life of the saw. phase electric motor. Blade rotation is belt driven.

Listed below is a brief explanation of each control or component. 1. Hand Grips/Handlebar — When operating the saw, place both hands on each grip to maneuver the saw. Replace hand grips when they become worn or damaged. 2. Handle Lock — Lock blade depth to desired position. 3.
inspection/setup Inspection/setup WARNING 1. Read and fully understand this manual, the safety intructions in particular, and the motor manufacturer's manual supplied with the saw. ALWAYS use a grounded extension cord and make certain the motor is connected to a properly grounded electrical circuit to protect the operator from possible electric shock. 2. Select the correct blade for each application. If abrasive blades are used, MAKE CERTAIN they are designed for use on a concrete floor saw.
inspection/setup Check the following on the blade guard (Figure 3): Ensure the capacity of the blade guard matches the diameter of your diamond blade. 2. Check uniform parallelism (Figure 5) of V-belt and pulley (sheaves). Use a straight-edge or machinist's square against both pulleys and adjust both pulleys until equally aligned. Check that the guard is bolted firmly upon the saw frame.
blades Saw blades, or cutting disks, are available in either an abrasive design or as diamond blades. Either blade will work on the SP1E16A, however, diamond blades are recommended. Ask your dealer about your specific cutting application. 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. Figure 6 highlights the components of a diamond blade. 3.
blades BLADE PLACEMENT 1. Blade Guard — Pivot the blade guard front cover all the way back. The guard tension spring will keep the front cover in position. 2. Blade Hex Nut — Unscrew the blade shaft 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. 3.
blades/initial startup Cutting Depth Adjustment DANGER. The saw is equipped with a Raise/Lower Assembly that is supported by the following components. NEVER touch the power cord with wet hands or while standing in water when it is connected to a power source. The possibly exists of electrical shock (electrocution) or even death. NEVER spray water directly on the electric motor.
operation/maintenance operation maintenance WARNING ALWAYS keep clear of rotating or moving parts while operating this equipment. NOTICE MAKE CERTAIN to raise the spindle high enough for the blade to clear the pavement. WARNING MAKE CERTAIN the saw path is clear of debris and obstructions to prevent tripping and/or falling onto the saw, and to prevent debris from hitting the blade. 1. To begin sawing, lower the rotating blade allowing it to cut to the preset depth. 2.
maintenance/troubleshooting (electric motor) Chassis Lubrication Blade Shaft Bearings — Two zerk fittings are located at the lower-front area of the saw. Lubricate before daily use. Use a good quality automotive or general purpose grease. Check and lubricate more often if unit is under heavy use. Do not overfill bearings. Overfilling can damage the grease seals which can result in bearing exposure to dirt and contaminants which can then shorten the life of the bearings.
troubleshooting (saw) Table 5. Blade Troubleshooting Symptom Blade slows or stops cutting. Blade does not cut straight and/or true. Blade discoloring, crackling and/or wearing excessively. Possible Problem Solution Blade too hard for the material being cut? Consult dealer or Multiquip for correct blade. Try cutting very soft material (sandstone, silica, brick, cinder block) to “redress” the blade. Engine torque diminished because of loose V-belt? Tighten and/or replace V-belts.
