INTRODUCTION The 50 Handheld is intended primarily for finish cuts, scoring and decorative applications, and is designed for ease of use and convenience. It is not intended for metal or wood cutting. Much like the entire line of Husqvarna Soff-Cut saws, the handheld saw works in conjunction with the Husqvarna Excel Series diamond blades and patented skid plates to allow for Ultra Early Entry cutting, which minimizes chipping and spalling while getting the job done the same day.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The saw is factory set to full depth-of-cut, typically 1” (25.4 mm) with a brand new blade. If a shallower depth of cut is desired, such as for architectural scoring and decorative application, adjust blade depth by turning the depth adjust thumb screw (D) approximately one full turn counter-clockwise. Slide the depth adjust arm (E) to the desired depth using the depth indicator label (B). Tighten the depth adjust thumb screw (D) by hand to lock the depth arm in place.
PROEDGE SERIES BLADES The ProEdge Line of beveled diamond blades is especially designed for architectural scoring to replace labor-intensive hand tooling. These specialty blades are ideal for residential and commercial applications to chase standard joints for a beveled look. Chasing cuts using the ProEdge blades would begin the next day or later after the concrete is placed and control joints have been made.
MAINTENANCE Guards Check all guards for damage and proper function daily especially the spring loaded lower and upper blade guard. Blade guards and cover should be secure to the saw and not damaged. Cleaning Clean the blade housing of any excess concrete build up after each use. Keep all openings and slot on the saw clean and open so air flows freely through the motor compartment to insure proper cooling.
SAWING CONTRACTION JOINTS As concrete hydrates or cures and begins to set, it develops internal stresses which may cause random cracks. Random cracks cast doubt on the quality and workmanship of the concrete. Contraction joints are cut in concrete to relieve these stresses before they seek their own relief in the form of random crack.
