FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION FAMILIARIZATION POWER PLANTS The MQWhiteman FS1 Series Concrete Saws are designed for wet or dry cutting utilizing diamond blades. They have been engineered for general and industrial flat sawing applications. The exceptional performance of these saws centers around simple operating features, top quality components, and committed attention to state-of-the-art manufacturing.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION UNDER CARRIAGE SYSTEM MANUAL RAISE/LOWER SYSTEM A jig welded heavy steel gauge under carriage chassis assembly supports the saw in tracking, pivoting and stabilization. Two rear wheels (8" x 2.0" x 3/4") and two front wheels (4" x 2.0" x 3/4") supports the chassis. The entire assembly pivots about the rear carriage and is lubricated through 90-degree grease fitting in the rear axle tube.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION -ENGINE Before Starting 1. Read safety instructions at the beginning of manual. 2. Clean the SAW, removing dirt and dust, particularly the engine cooling air inlet, carburetor and air cleaner. 3. Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty, replace air filter with a new one as required. 4. Check carburetor for external dirt and dust. Clean with dry compressed air. Figure 8.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION -BLADE WARNING Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade (Figure 9) for operational safety could result in damage to the blade, the saw, and may cause injury to the user or others in the operating area. Figure 9. Diamond Blade 1. Drive Pin Hole – A commonly located hole located on the diamond blade core that prevents operational blade slippage between the inner & outer blade flanges (collars).
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION -BLADE PLACEMENT WARNING 4. Diamond Blade – Ensure that the proper diamond blade has been selected for the job. Pay close attention to the directional arrows on the blade, clockwise for right-hand cutting and counter-clockwise for left-hand cutting, then place the blade onto the blade shaft, and ensure the arbor hole of the blade matches the diameter of the shaft. 5. Blade Drive Pin – Line up the blade drive pin with the inner flange (collar) pin hole.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION -BLADE PLACEMENT NOTE The following steps should be accomplished before using the FS1 on any cutting surface. Diamond Blade Placement Procedure The FS1 is equipped with an Raise/Lower assembly that is supported by the following components (Figure 11): ■ Raise/Lower Ball Handle (1) ■ Actuating Arm Lever (2) ■ Depth Pointer Bar (3) ■ Raise/Lower Scale (4) 1. Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. 2. Place the FS1 saw on a stable level working surface. 2.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION -GUARDS, COVERS AND V-BELTS Guards and Covers Check V-belts and Cover CAUTION: WARNING NEVER operate the saw without blade guards and covers (Figures 12,13 and 14) in place. DO NOT operate with the front of the blade guard raised. The blade exposure cannot exceed 180 degrees during operations. Adhere to the safety guidelines of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B7.1 and B7.5.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — INSPECTION -GUARDS, COVERS AND V-BELTS 3. Check V-belt tension (Figure 16) by using a tension meter (6.0 - 9.0 lbs) against the inside belt at a mid point between the two pulleys, or by deflecting the center belt at a mid point 3/8” (10mm) - 1/2” (13mm). Figure 16. V-Belt Tension 4. DO NOT over or under tension the V-belts. Severe damage can occur to the saw and engine crank shaft if the belts are over tensioned.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW— INITIAL START-UP CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to operate the saw until the D Safety, General Information and Inspection sections have been read and understood. Depending on engine manufacturer, operating steps may vary. See engine manufactures operating manual. The following start-up procedure makes reference to a HONDA engine. 1. Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and that it raised above the surface you about to saw.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — INITIAL START-UP 8. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 21) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting. CAUTION: z DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end. z DO NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as possible.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — OPERATION Saw Alignment 1. The FS 1 employs a front and rear pointer (Figure 22) that has been precisely aligned with the diamond blade at the factory. Referencing the figure below, accurate tracking is accomplished by referencing the front and rear pointer tips over the cut line. Precise saw direction is accomplished by slight operator pressure against the handle bars. 5. Set the depth and saw only as the job conditions and specifications require.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — OPERATION Dry Saw Operation WARNING WARNING Engine components can generate extreme heat. Diamond Blades and Blade Speed The operator must wear the appropriate protective equipment and clothing while engaged in sawing. 1. Ensure the proper DRY Cutting blade is selected for the job. 2. The preferred method of sawing is to step cut in increments of 2” (51 mm). “ Step-cutting” provides the optimum opportunity for the blade to cut fast and last its longest.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — MAINTENANCE CAUTION: 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 WARNING The following procedures devoted to maintenance can prevent serious saw damage or malfunctioning. Before servicing or inspection, ALWAYS park the saw on a level surface with the engine ON/OFF switch in “OFF” position. 4.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — MAINTENANCE Blade Shaft Bearing Replacement The FS 1 is supported by “tapped" base lock collar self-aligning blade shaft bearings. These heavy duty bearings support the 11/4 blade shaft, and have grease (zerk) points (Figures 24 and 25) conveniently located for service. 3. To loosen the tension on the two V-belts perform the following: z Remove the V-belt cover (Figure 14). z Loosen the engine adjustment bolts (Figure 26). z Position the engine to allow for slack in the V-belts.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — MAINTENANCE V-Belt Tension Check Check tension after first day of operation, then weekly/or 25 hours. Replace as required (see Figure 16). NEVER operate with less than 2 belts. The FS 1 is equipped with (2) premium A-27 V-belts for the 14inch model and (3) premimum A-27 V-belts belts for the 18-inch model which will provide optimum torque transfer. The saw must be operated with all V-belts, and must be adjusted collectively and properly to be effective.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — TROUBLESHOOTING (ENGINE) TABLE 6. ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTON Difficult to star t, "fuel is available, but no SPARK at spark plug". Difficult to star t, "fuel is available, and SPARK is present at the spark plug". Difficult to star t, "fuel is available, spark is present and compression is normal" Difficult to star t, "fuel is available, spark is present and compression is low" No fuel present at carburetor.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — TROUBLESHOOTING (ENGINE) TABLE 6. ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED) SYMPTON "Weak in power" compression is proper and does not misfire. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Air cleaner not clean? Clean or replace air cleaner Improper level in carburetor? Check float adjustment, re-build carbureator. Defective Spark plug? Clean or replace spark plug. Defective Spark plug? "Weak in power" compression is proper but misfires. Engine overheats. Rotational speed fluctuates.
FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — TROUBLESHOOTING (BLADE) TABLE 7. BLADE TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTON Blade slows or Stops cutting,still remains on blade. Blade does not cut straight and/or true. Blade discoloring, crackling and/or wearing excessively. POSSIBLE CAUSE 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 Torgue diminished because of loose V-Belts.
