II. OPERATION - TROUBLESHOOTING/MAINTENANCE
TO START CUTTING
1. Open water valve and start the flow of water to the blade..
2.
RAISE BLADE OFF GROUND -
Start engine and let engine warm up. All cutting is done at full throttle.
3. Align blade and cutter with the cut,
4. Lower blade into cut slowly.
5. Cut as fast as the blade will allow. If blade climbs out of cut, reduce forward speed or depth of cut. Use only enough side
pressure on cutter handles to follow cutting lines.
CUTTING
Lower the blade into concrete to required depth by turning the lift crank. Ease the saw slowly forward. Slow forward pressure if
the saw begins to stall.
NOTE:
For deeper cuts several cuts should be made. Make incremental steps of 1-1/2 inch to 2 inches, until the desired
depth is reached. The Power King
PK0101
has a cutting depth of
4
inches.
Push the saw slowly forward. Push enough forward pressure so that the engine begins to labor, but does not slow down. If the
saw begins to stall, stop forward movement until full RPM is restored to the blade. If saw stalls, raise the blade out of the cut
before restarting. Avoid excessive side pressure or twisting of the blade in the cut.
BELTS & PULLEYS
1. The best tension for a v-belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip under full load.
2. Take up tension until the belts are snug in the grooves. Run the drive for about five (5) minutes to “seat” the belts if the belts
slip tighten until they no longer slip at peak load. Most new belts will need additional tensioning after seating.
3. Remember too much tension reduces belt and bearing life.
4. Check the belt tension frequently during the first day of operation. Check the belt tension periodically thereafter and make
any necessary adjustments.
DRY CUTTING
Power King only recommends wet cutting.
