BD-10 Thank you for selecting the Barranca Diamond BD10 Trim Saw. We are certain that you will be pleased with your purchase. Barranca Diamond takes pride in producing top quality products for hobbyists and commercial lapidary users throughout the world. This owner’s manual contains information necessary to operate and maintain your BD10 Trim Saw safely and correctly. Operated correctly, your BD10 Trim Saw should provide you with years of service.
BD-10 SAFETY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read and follow all safety, operating and maintenance instructions. Failure to read and follow these instructions could result in injury or death to you or others. Failure to read and follow these instructions could also result in damage and/or reduced equipment life.
BD-10 SAFETY ROTATING OR MOVING PARTS Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate the saw with covers, shrouds, or guards removed. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE Keep tools clean for the best and safest performance. Always follow maintenance instructions for lubricating, and when changing accessories. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN Cluttered work areas and benches invite accidents.
BD-10 SAFETY DIRECTION OF FEED Always feed work into a blade or cutter in the direction shown in this manual. All blades, grinding wheels or polishing belts should always be installed such that rotation is in the direction of the arrow imprinted on the blade, wheel or belt. ONLY OPERATE AT THE PROPER SPEED Severe personal injury and damage to the motor or equipment can result if operated at speeds above maximum.
BD-10 SAFETY SILICA DUST WARNING Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis.
BD-10 SAFETY ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times! In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
BD-10 SAFETY To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the saw to one side of a wall mounted receptacle. This will prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop,” shown should be arranged by the user to properly position the power cord relative to the power source. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector, if an extension cord is used.

BD10 OIL/COOLANT RECOMMENDED CUTTING OILS Never run a diamond blade dry as this can immediately damage your blade. Use one of the oils/coolants recommended below. Coolant should be kept clean and below 100° F. Sludge should be removed periodically and replaced with fresh coolant so that your cuts will be clean and your blades will not be damaged. Shell Diala Ax and Amber Neutral 100 Non-hazmat replacement oil for electrical transformer cooling.
BD10 SETUP CONTENTS In the shipping crate, you will find one Barranca Diamond BD10 Trim Saw assembly (saw, motor, baseboard, spray hood and ten inch lapidary diamond blade). UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY Your BD10 Trim Saw has been shipped from the factory thoroughly inspected and tested. Remove the crating material (wood and plastic) from the baseboard and around the saw. Remove the spray hood from the saw and remove the protective covering.
BD10 OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS PRE-START INSPECTION Place the BD10 Trim Saw on a flat surface such as a bench top or table. Set the toggle power switch to the MIDDLE/OFF position (Fig. 1). 1/4" Fig. 2. Cutting lubricant level should cover the bottom 1/4" of the blade Fig. 1. OFF position FILL RESERVOIR NOTE: The blade is manufactured to cut in either a petroleum, mineral or synthetic water soluble oil saw lubricant.
BD10 OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS START UP Inspect the belt tension. Check the four motor mounting bolts (Fig. 6) to ensure they are tight and the motor is secure. The V-belt is adjusted and tensioned at the factory. If belt needs adjustment, loosen nut (Fig. 8). Tighten or loosen screw (Fig. 9) until belt is properly tensioned. There should be no more than 1/2" of belt deflection when the belt is depressed by fingertip pressure (Fig. 7). Fig. 6. Motor mounts bolts Fig. 7.
BD10 OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS START UP Lock the clutch plates by turning the knob clockwise (Fig. 12). Be sure to securely tighten the knob on the vise as well (Fig. 17). Now engage the power feed toggled RIGHT/ENGAGED FEED position and main motor to begin advancing the vise and rotating the blade (Fig. 13). The power feed motor will slowly move the vise toward the blade (approximately 3/16 of an inch per minute). The saw hood does not need to be placed over the saw table during this power test.
BD10 OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS SLAB SAWING MODE At this point, the clutch should be engaged by turning the knob clockwise (Fig. 12). The hood may be placed over the table to contain spray and misting. Slabbing of material can now be initiated by engaging the power feed and blade by moving the toggle switch to the RIGHT/ENGAGED FEED position (Fig. 13). The rock vise and material will move forward into the blade and the slab will be cut from the vised material.
BD10 OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS TRIM SAWING MODE Slabbing of rock material to uniform thicknesses using the BD10 Trim Saw is best performed using the automatic power feed mode. However, manual trimming of slabs to desired shapes (preforming) can be achieved using the saw in the LEFT/MANUAL FEED position (Fig. 22). Fig. 22. Manual feed position To use this mode, first place the toggle in the MIDDLE/OFF position (Fig.
BD10 OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS The rock slab to be trimmed should rest flat and firmly on the saw table in front of the blade prior to moving the toggle switch to the LEFT/MANUAL FEED position. The user should use light but firm pressure to cut the slab in the manual mode letting the blade do the work and not force the slab into the blade. The blade guard height can be adjusted by turning the thumb knob at the rear mounting position of the guard.
BD10 MAINTENANCE V-BELT The BD10 Trim Saw blade arbor is powered by an AX-27 rubber V-belt from the electric motor. The V-belt is correctly tensioned at the factory. However, if it is necessary to service the belt, unplug the BD10 Trim Saw from its power source and remove the fasteners which secure the belt guard housing (Fig. 28). If the belt tension should become too loose, poor sawing performance or slipping will result.
BD10 MAINTENANCE POWER FEED SYSTEM AND VISE Periodically the user should apply a thin coat of lubricating grease (wheel bearing or lithium grease) to the 3/8"- 24 screw feed rod to prevent the screw feed rod threads from becoming prematurely worn. If the threads on both the bronze clutch blocks should become worn or “flattened” the clutch block will not securely engage with the screw rod and it may disengage from the clutch block and not automatically advance the rock vise.
BD10 MAINTENANCE BLADE ARBOR ASSEMBLY AND PULLEYS Periodically, check the tightness of the four blade arbor housing mounting bolts (Fig. 32) to make sure they are securely tightened to the oil reservoir. Should the 2" OD die cast pulleys on either the motor or blade arbor shaft need to be removed or replaced, loosen the set screw on the hub of each pulley with a US standard Allen/hex wrench to remove the pulley from the shaft. Fig. 32.
BD10 MAINTENANCE DIAMOND BLADE Periodically, the diamond blade on the BD10 Trim Saw will need to be resharpened should slow or poor sawing performance occur. Dull or “glazed over” diamonds will either not cut thus stalling the saw and shutting off the motor, or the rock vise and rock material will ride up the blade and possibly damage the blade or “dish” the core. Once the saw begins to labor or struggle to cut gemstones, the user is advised to use a sharpening stick and resharpen the blade.
BD10 MAINTENANCE DIAMOND BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL Close saw table and tighten the wing nut. Be sure that the proper amount of lubricant is in the reservoir before starting the saw. Note: Blade flanges must always be installed with their concave or recessed side (Fig. 36) facing the blade. Fig. 36.
