I. PREPARATION A. Safety Precautions Important! The following safety precautions must always be observed. Hazard Symbols Fuel (gasoline) is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied approved areas, and away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
Dust and Silica Warning Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
1. Before mounting any blade on the saw, the blade should be inspected for any damage which might have occurred during shipment, handling or previous use. 2. The blade collars and arbors should be cleaned and examined for damage before mounting the blade. 3. The blade must be properly fitted over the arbor with the drive pin on the outside collar projecting through the drive pinhole on the blade and inside collar. 4.
I. PREPARATION B. Assembly The compact Masonry saws are shipped completely assembled and ready for use except for diamond blade, gasoline, oil, and Head Locking Bar. Inspect the saw for shipping damage. If any damage is found, contact the shipper immediately and file a freight claim. The Norton Company is not responsible for any freight-related damages. Remove the saw from the pallet.

I. PREPARATION D. Electrical Connections Important-Before connecting the motor leads to the power supply be sure that the voltage, cycles and phase shown on the nameplate of the motor correspond to the available power supply. Voltage Selection For Single Phase Motors 1-1/2 h.p. and 2 h.p. single phase masonry saw motors have a dual voltage capable. A 115volt or 230 volt power supply can be used.
D. Wiring Diagram Be sure to ground the saw properly before operating, such as a ground wire connection provided by the power company. Electrical Connections 115 Volt 230 Volt For any Electric Motor service, warranty, or technical related questions please contact your nearest Baldor service center: Baldor Electric Company 5711 R.S. Boreham, Jr. St. P.O.
I. PREPARATION F. Gasoline Engine Prior to attempting to operate the engine, read the information contained in the engine owner's manual. An engine owner’s manual is supplied with every gasoline powered concrete saw. 1. Check Oil: Add oil if low. Refer to the engine owner's manual for the recommended SAE viscosity grades. Capacity of oil is 1.1 liters (1.16 US qt) 2. Check Fuel: Fill if low. Use only unleaded gasoline with a pump sticker octane rating of 86 or higher is recommended.
II. OPERATION A. Installing the Blade 1. For Gasoline powered machines disconnect the spark plug and for Electrical Powered Machines disconnect from power source. 2. Remove the blade shaft nut, (Turn clockwise), and remove the outside collar. 3. Clean off any foreign particles on the clamping surfaces of both collars and on the mounting surface of the blade. 4. Place the blade on the blade shaft. Use only Norton Clipper Diamond Blades. 5. Slide the outside blade shaft collar onto the blade shaft. 6.
II. OPERATION B. How To Use " Step Cutting " With Abrasive Blades Use "step cutting" without exception when cutting wet or dry with abrasive blades. "Jam cutting", which is discussed and illustrated in the section following, is to be used only with wet and dry cutting diamond blades. 1. Clamp and hold material firmly against the backstop on conveyor cart. Be certain the material does not slip or rock during cutting operation, as this can bind blade, causing excessive wear and fracture. 2.
II. OPERATION C. How To Use "Jam Cutting" (Fixed Cutting) and "Step Cutting" With Diamond Blades In "Jam" cutting the head is locked in a fixed position and the material is pushed into it as shown in the sketch at the bottom. "Jam" cutting with the head locked in a fixed position usually provides greater efficiency. 1. To lock the head into position, tighten the lever nut at the back of the saw. 2. "Step" cutting with diamond blades is done by applying more pressure to the blade.
II. OPERATION D. How To Use Blockbuster Compact For Dry Cutting 1. Use a proper blade, which is marked for dry cutting. 2. Remove the water curtain. 3. Disconnect the water pump. 4. Use "step" cutting as explained previously when using abrasive blades. 5. Use "jam" or "step" cutting when using dry cutting diamond blades. E.
III. MAINTENANCE The Blockbuster Compact requires very little maintenance for long satisfactory operation. However, the following points must be watched: A. V-Belts The drive belts are made of premium oil and heat resistant materials. They require very little adjustment, but should be tightened after the first few days of running. Adjustment And Alignment Warning: Never make adjustments to v-belts and pulleys while engine is running. 1.
III. MAINTENANCE B. Motor The motors are specially designed for masonry sawing. It is totally enclosed and the sealed bearings require no lubrication. The motor is equipped with thermal overload protection. 1. Periodically clean the dirt and sludge build-up from the motor fan housing and cooling fins. 2. If the motor becomes overheated, the protector shuts the motor off. Turn the motor switch to the "OFF" and identify the cause of overheating.
Note: Never operate saw without bearing cover in place. For normal conditions the grease should conform to the NLGI grade two consistency and be free of any chemical impurities such as free acid or free alkali, dust, rust, metal particles or abrasives. For best results, the bearings should be lubricated while in operation. Note: Due caution for personal safety must be observed when servicing rotating equipment.
