PF10 Thank you for selecting the Barranca Diamond PF10 Trim Saw. We are certain that you will be pleased with your purchase. Barranca Diamond takes pride in producing top quality products for hobby and commercial lapidary users throughout the world. This owner’s manual contains information necessary to operate and maintain your PF10 Trim Saw safely and correctly. Operated correctly, your PF10 Trim Saw should provide you with years of service.
PF10 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.
PF10 SAFETY ROTATING OR MOVING PARTS Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate the engine 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.
PF10 SAFETY DIRECTION OF FEED Always feed work into a blade or cutter in the direction shown in this manual. Al 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.
PF10 SAFETY WARNING Sawing, grinding and drilling generates dust. Excessive airborne particles may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection suitable to the material being sawed, ground or drilled; (See OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.1200). Diamond Blades improperly used are dangerous. Comply with American National Standards Institute Safety Code, B7.
PF10 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.
PF10 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 in FIGURE 2, 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.

PF10 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.
PF10 SETUP CONTENTS In the shipping crate, you will find one Barranca Diamond PF10 Trim Saw assembly (saw, motor, baseboard, spray hood and 10" x 0.040 x 5/8 303 Pro diamond blade). One package of six rubber feet and mounting screws, and one 1" x 1" x 6" sharpening stick. Saw Assembly Rubber Feet and Mounting Screws Sharpening Stick UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY Your PF10 Trim Saw has been shipped from the factory thoroughly inspected and tested.
PF10 INSPECTION PRESTART INSPECTION Place the PF10 Trim Saw on a flat surface such as a bench top or table. Set the toggle power switch to the MIDDLE/OFF position (fig 3). FORWARD/MANUAL FEED Saw Motor On Power Feed Off BACK/POWER FEED Saw Motor On Power Feed On MIDDLE/OFF Saw Motor Off Power Feed Off Fig 3.
PF10 START UP START UP With the table removed from the reservoir, inspect the motor mounts and belt tension. Check the four motor mounting nuts (fig 6) to insure they are tight and the motor is secure. The V-belt is adjusted and tensioned at the factory. However, if the motor mounts should become loose during shipping or usage readjust the motor mounting nuts so that no more than 1/2" of belt deflection occurs when the belt is depressed by fingertip pressure (fig 7). Fig 6.
PF10 START UP START UP (continued) Check to ensure that the toggle power switch is in the MIDDLE/OFF position. Plug the power cord from the motor into the power feed receptacle (fig 9) on the power feed box (located on the front of the saw). The power cord from the power feed box should be attached to GFCI receptacle. Fig 9.
PF10 START UP START UP (continued) Once the rock vise is placed in the far back position, lock the clutch handle in the 9 or 3 o’clock position (fig 11). Now engage the power feed and main motor to begin advancing the vise and rotating the blade by pushing the toggle to the rear or to the BACK/POWER FEED position (fig 3). The 4 RPM power feed motor (fig 13) will slowly move the vise toward the blade (approximately 3/16 of an inch per minute).
PF10 SLAB SAWING MODE SLAB SAWING MODE To begin slabbing of rock material, turn the toggle switch to the MIDDLE/OFF position (fig 3) and secure the material in the rock vise by opening the vise jaws wide enough to fit the material to be cut. Retighten the jaws with the wing nut screws on the rock vise (fig 14).
PF10 SLAB SAWING MODE SLAB SAWING MODE (continued) At this point, the clutch handle should be engaged by turning it to the 3 or 9 o’clock position (fig 11). Slabbing of material can now be initiated by engaging the power feed and blade by moving the toggle switch to the BACK/POWER FEED position (fig 3). The rock vise and material will move forward into the blade and the slab will be cut from the vised material.
PF10 TRIM SAWING MODE TRIM SAWING MODE Slabbing of rock material to uniform thicknesses using the PF10 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 FORWARD/MANUAL FEED position (fig 3). Fig 20. Rock vise on table for power feed operation Fig 21.
PF10 MAINTENANCE CUTTING LUBRICANT REPLACEMENT The PF10 Trim Saw requires periodic routine maintenance to remove the build up of rock mud (sludge) and dirty lubricating fluid from the reservoir. It will be apparent to the user that the lubricating fluid is dirty and needs to be changed if the oil residue on the saw table after cutting is thick and dark with rock sludge build up.
PF10 MAINTENANCE V-BELT The PF10 Trim Saw blade arbor is powered by an AX-24 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 PF10 Trim Saw from its power source and remove the fasteners which secure the belt guard housing to the saw table and motor. If the belt tension should become too loose, poor sawing performance or slipping will result.
PF10 MAINTENANCE POWER FEED SYSTEM AND VISE (continued) Fig 27. Power feed gear box and screw feed rod Fig 28. Power feed coupling Periodically the user should apply a thin coat of lubricating grease (wheel bearing or lithium grease) to the 3/8"-24 screw feed rod under the rails to prevent the screw feed rod threads from becoming prematurely worn.
PF10 MAINTENANCE BLADE ARBOR ASSEMBLY AND PULLEYS (continued) Fig 29. Arbotng bolts Fig 30. Pulley set screw Periodically, check the tightness of the four blade arbor housing mounting bolts (fig 29) to make sure they are securely tightened to the oil reservoir.
PF10 DIAMOND BLADE Fig 31. Motor reset button. DIAMOND BLADE Periodically, the diamond blade on the PF10 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.
PF10 INSTALL/REMOVAL DIAMOND BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (continued) Reattach the saw table with the four mounting screws. Be sure the cork tank gasket is positioned correctly between the saw table and coolant reservoir and that the proper amount of lubricant is in the reservoir before attaching the saw table. Fig 34. Hold the blade with one hand use a 15/16" wrench to turn the jam nut. Do not over tighten Fig 35.
