PAGE 12 — FCG16HA SAW • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #1 (03/19/10)
Intended Use
Operate the FCG16HA Saw, tools and components in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use of any
other tools for stated operation is considered contrary to
designated use. The risk of such use lies entirely with the user.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages as a result
of misuse.
This saw is not intended for wet cutting. (The use of water sprayed
onto the tool [blade] during the cutting operation).
FAMILIARIZATION
This FCG16HA Saw is designed for dry sawing of concrete
slabs utilizing diamond blades. The saw has been engineered
for general and industrial flat sawing applications that include:
Joint Sawing
of Green Concrete,
Decorative Sawing
in Cured
Concrete,
Light Demolition Sawing
and
"V" Groove
Beveling
. The simple and compact nature of the FCG16HA
makes it a perfect sawing tool for one person to operate and
transport. The saw combines innovative features, top quality
components, and a committed attention to state-of-the-art
manufacturing.
For peak performance, the FCG16HA has been engineered to
operate a powerful GX200 Honda Gasoline engine and 10"
diameter diamond blades. This special design allows for fast/
clean cuts in different materials at depths from 1/4" to 3 1/4".
Retractable front & rear pointers with "tracking wheels" are
provided to support precise straight sawing. This system permits
the operator to quickly adjust the blade cutting depth and
safeguard against "blade-creep" during sawing operations. For
operator comfort and ease of transportation & storage, an
adjustable locking handle bar is provided.
Operator control of the saws is safely accomplished with
adjustable handle bars, and a conveniently oriented raise/lower
lever and depth adjustment wheel. An engine-off switch (Item 22
Fig. 3) located next to the handle lock allows the operator to
safely turn the engine off from the operator's position and away
from moving parts.
The jig-welded reinforced heavy gauge steel frame and chassis
assembly are designed to eliminate operational bending and/or
flex that would lead to diminished blade performance. Also, the
frame's general weight-to-strength ratio and center mounted
blade design ensure accurate tracking in the cut.
A robust blade shaft bearing assembly ensures minimal flutter
and shaft harmonics providing the most advantageous
conditions for a diamond blade at operating speeds.
Heavy-duty front and rear axles, polyurethane wheels with
permanently sealed ball bearings, and solid undercarraige
assembly provide years of reliable use. The FCG16HA
incorporates an innovative PosiLok raise/lower control assembly
that provides fingertip control of blade orientation, infinitely
adjustable locking blade depth control, and depth feed gauge.
