FS2 CONCRETE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER PLANTS
The FS2 Saw Series provides a variety of gasoline engine choices
(Table 3). Selection of a specific engine, and its capacity measured
in horsepower/torque, directly affects the performance of the diamond
blade.
The FS2 series is generally classified in the industry as a "
LOW
to
MEDIUM
" horsepower saw. This classification is particularly useful
when selecting the proper diamond blade for an application. Refer
to the engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions regarding
engine operation and maintenance practices.
FAMILIARIZATION
The MQ Whiteman FS2 Series Concrete Saws are designed for
wet or dry cutting utilizing diamond blades. They have been
engineered for general, industrial and high production flat sawing
applications. The exceptional performance of these saws centers
around innovative features, top quality components, and committed
attention to state-of-the-art manufacturing.
The reinforced heavy gauge steel frame and chassis assembly has
been precisely jig welded to eliminate operational bending and/or
flex that would lead to diminished blade performance. Additionally,
the general weight-to-strength ratio design of the frame and chassis
assembly provides for optimum weight distribution to keep the blade
running true in the cut.
An innovative outboard blade shaft bearing assembly ensures
minimal flutter and shaft harmonics providing the most advantageous
condition for a diamond blade at operating speeds. Heavy duty
front and rear axles, oversized reinforced wheels supported by roller
wheel bearings and locking collars, and industrial under carriage
assembly ensure accurate tracking and years of reliable use.
The positive locking Raise/Lower screw feed system with accurate
depth gauge easily orients blade elevation, and will not permit blade
creep during cutting operations.
A unique water plumbing system allows for independent orientation
of either fluted floodwater to the blade for wet cutting applications or
cones of aerosol mist to diminish material dust when dry cutting.
Operator control of the saw is safely accomplished with adjustable
ergonomic handle bars, and a combination of conveniently oriented
items on the console such as: Raise/Lower Handle, Tachometer/
Hourmeter, 3-way water valve, depth feed gauge, and engine ON/
OFF switch.
All FS2 saws are designed, engineered and manufactured
with strict adherence to American National Standards Institute,
Inc. (ANSI) guidelines B7.1 and B7.5.
