Operating Instructions
INTRODUCTION
1. The Core Saw is manufactured to the highest standards of strength for medium to heavy
duty operations.
2. The Electric machine is powered by 2.2kW/1-Phase or 4kW/3-Phase motor manufactured
by CMG Australia, and the Petrol machine is powered by 5.5HP Honda or 6HP Robin petrol
engine.
3. The parts of which machine consists are kept to a minimum and standardised. This allows
easy maintenance. Frame, cutting head and conveyor cart are aligned by Dynamics G-Ex.
Misalignment can occur through handling damage or moving saw. This will dramatically
shorten blade life.
4. Cutting head is positioned at required cutting depth by pivot point bearings with a locking
lever.
5. Full power transmission by dual belt drive.
6. Mitre guide on conveyor cart allows highly accurate repeat cutting.
TO OPERATE THE CORE SAW
Fitting legs
1. Place machine on ground.
2. Elevate operator’s end of machine and fit one set of legs into front sockets. Secure with
locking screws.
3. Raise other end using rear handle and fit pair of legs and secure.
4. Legs are adjustable to compensate for slightly uneven surfaces.
Connecting water
1. Attach water hose to the top of the blade guard. If mains water is available, disconnect
water pump drive belt and hose and connect water supply to water stop cock for a clean
supply of water. Check water flow at regular intervals in case mains supply has been
interrupted and tray is not choked with sediment.
2. If using pump (located in a baffled area behind tray and driven by a flexible shaft and belt
from engine pulley), ensure reservoir pan is filled to within 1” (25mm) of top and the water
pump inlet is always fully immersed in water. Water is recycled via the tray which acts as
a reservoir. Pump intake is to be kept free of accumulated sludge and any other foreign
material.
3. Drive belt can be removed to reduce wear if extended use is required.
