Item 3 - 1/4” line from factory air supply.
Item 4 – 3/8” tubing for coolant return to pump suction side
Item 5 - 1/4” tubing connecting supply air to pump.
Once the coolant pump pallet has been connected to the saw ensure that the WIRE/RUN switch is
toggled to the WIRE position. Turn the facilities air on and check to ensure that the regulator in
the saw is set to 60 psi and that the oilier is filled with light machine oil.
Attach the coolant container to the saw with 3/8” plastic tubing (provided). Fill the container with a
mixture of surfactant and plain water. The container has a capacity of 5 US gallons (18 liters).
Wire Inspection
Inspect the wire to ensure that the saw is properly strung.
Note that the end of the wire attached to the rear of the capstan nearest the drive motor extends
to the right over the right tension pulley. The end of the wire attached to the front of the capstan
farthest from the drive motor extends to the left over the left tension pulley.
Note the relative spacing of the wire on the capstan. Every wire on the capstan should rest in its
own groove. There should be no wire loops crossed over one another on the capstan.
Observe the wire on the capstan. There should be no more than one or two empty grooves on
the capstan below the wires entering and exiting the capstan.
The wire should be seated in the groove of each of the four pulleys. Note that the entire strung
wire extending from the capstan and over each pulley is in one plane. Misalignment causes
premature wear of pulleys or the capstan, or it causes premature breakage of the wire.
If the wiring conforms to the above four notes, you may wish to run the saw manually to see how
the wire travels.
If the wiring does not conform to the above four notes, the wire should be removed and the saw
restrung before startup is considered.
NOTE
A spool of plain wire is included with your saw to allow you to practice
stringing the saw with less expensive wire. It is highly recommended that
you practice wiring the saw several times with plain wire before you use
diamond wire, to avoid making a costly error.
Guide Pulley Spacing
In most cases, a more accurate cut is achieved by minimizing the spacing between the guide
