Assembly (Gasoline Powered Saws Only)
1. Remove the MP1 saw from its container and place it on a
suitable table or platform. Make sure the table or platform can
support the weight of the saw. The saw platform should be
rigid and stationary so that it will not move, sag, or sway due to
the vibrations and movements of the saw.
2. If using the MP1 series
support stand kit
(P/N TRAK14SS),
attach stand to the under-side of the water tray. Follow the
instructions supplied with the support stand kit when attaching
it to the water tray.
3. The
gasoline powered
saw uses a
mechanical water
pump.
This pump operates by drawing power from the drive V-belts,
and has been adjusted and locked for wet cutting operation
when shipped from the factory.
4. Fill the water tray with clean fresh water. The
water
pump
intake (strainer) must always be fully covered by water
to operate effectively
. Also, keep the pump intake free of
sludge, debris and other materials that may accumulate in
the tray.
5. Make certain that the water hose will not come in contact
with the blade or interfere with any moving parts. The best
location for the water pump/strainer is between the splash
shield and the rear of the water tray. This will prevent some
of the abrasive particles from flowing through the pump.
Whenever cleaning, adjusting or lubricating any part of the saw,
MAKE CERTAIN to stop the engine and disconnect the spark
plug wire from the spark plug.
