FS 1 CONCRETE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION
FAMILIARIZATION
The MQWhiteman FS1 Series Concrete Saws are designed for
wet or dry cutting utilizing diamond blades. They have been
engineered for general and industrial flat sawing applications.
The exceptional performance of these saws centers around
simple operating 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. A rugged
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, sturdy oversized wheels, and
industrial under carriage assembly ensure accurate tracking and
years of reliable use. A positive locking counter balance Raise/
Lower system with a depth meter easily orients blade elevation.
A hardy water plumbing system evenly distributes optimum water
volume & flow rate to both sides of the blade. Operator control of
the saw is safely accomplished with adjustable ergonomic
handlebars.
All FS1 saws are designed, engineered and manufactured with
strict adherence to American National Standards Institute, Inc.
(ANSI) guidelines B7.1 and B7.5.
POWER PLANTS
The FS1 Saw Series provides a variety of gasoline engine
choices. Selection of a specific engine, and its capacity measured
in horsepower/torque, directly affects the performance of the
diamond blade. The FS1 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. [See Table 3]
