WARNING: Always be sure that the
saw is connected only to a properly
grounded electrical outlet.
•
Electric motors of any make can burn out
completely when the voltage supply falls 10%
below the voltage rating of the motor. Use proper
heavy duty fuses in the circuit.
•
Have your electrician check the voltage right at the
motor when the saw is cutting.
•
All FELKER single phase masonry motors are
equipped with manual reset overloads. When
overload trip, turn switch to "OFF" position, allow
the motor to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then push the
reset button. A click indicates reset.

Maintenance
•
Sludge that accumulates in the bottom of the water
reservoir pan is as abrasive as a cutting compound
and if it accumulates heavily, it will shorten the life
of the water pump and of the blade. Clean water
reservoir pan at least once a day - twice a day in
heavy cutting and refill with clean water.
•
At the end of each day's use, clean the sludge from
the saw. Flush water through the pump and water
hoses every night.
•
NOTE: When the saw is being put in a warehouse
waiting for the next job, use a wire brush to remove
hard, caked on sludge. Clean and thoroughly
lubricate moving parts - so the saw will be ready to
operate at top efficiency on the next job.
•
Check extension wire size per chart. Undersize
wires will burn out expensive motors. Use 230
Volts wherever possible.

If you have motor problems, contact your
FELKER Dealer (or the FELKER Organization

Authorized Service Dealer. If motor is under
warranty, having it worked on by a non-authorized
Service Dealer voids the warranty.

Keep Drive Belts tight! Do not operate on low

Provision has been made for adjustment of the
TOP wheel of the Stay Level Blade Guard
assembly should it be necessary to compensate for
wear. Loosen the nut securing the ball bearing
wheel slightly, then tighten the Allen Screw at the
top, until the desired tension is obtained.

Important Advice
10 Important Check Points for getting maximum
performance out of your saw and maximum blade
life and efficiency.
1. Full voltage is essential to economical operation.
Always use 230 Volts where available, with a heavy
duty extension cord. Have an electrician check the
incoming voltage at the saw motor.
2. Drive belts must be tight! Power goes from the
motor to arbor shaft. When the belts are loose,
power is lost. Replace worn belts without delay.
Replace V-belts in sets only.
3. The blade must fit the arbor snugly, especially
diamond blades. Otherwise, pounding will occur
and seriously damage the blades. If the arbor
shoulder is grooved where the diamond blade has
bound in the cut while the shaft has continued to
turn the arbor must be replaced or the blade life will
be severely shortened.
4. Blade flanges must be full diameter - Minimum, 4".
Replace worn down flanges at once as undersize
flanges shorten blade life and cause breakage.
5. Check conveyor cart condition regularly. Replace
wheels and wood insert frequently.
6. Be certain cutting head is correctly aligned.
Misalignment through handling damage or
transporting the saw with cutting head on the frame
can seriously affect the blade life.
7. Replace noisy bearings at once! Worn bearings
will very quickly destroy the blade.
8. Flush clean water through the water pump and
spray assembly after every day's use. This
prolongs the water pump and blade life.
9. Check the blade guard for damage or wear.
Replace if necessary.
