MQ MP2 SERIES SAW — OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #0 (01/26/09) — PAGE 13
GENERAL INFORMATION
MP2 Saw
The MP2 Saw is designed for vigorous wet-cutting masonry
applications. The heavy-duty steel conveyor cart and ball bearing
roller wheels ensure material stability and smooth travel. In
addition a reinforced jig-welded steel frame provides rigidity for
cutting accuracy and long service life.
This saw is available with either an
electric motor
or a
gasoline
engine
. Two heavy duty electric motors are available: a 5 HP
230V single phase or 5 HP 230V three phase, all with overload
protectiom.
If desired, the MP2 Saw can be configured with a 9.0 HP Honda
GX270 gasoline engine.
All MP2 saw models include a high flow water pump, cutting jig,
water hoses and associated plumbing to enable the operator to
begin wet cutting.
Dry Cutting Applications
The MP2 Saw masonry saw is shipped from the factory for wet-
cutting saw applications, however it can be used for dry-cutting
saw applications (see dry-cutting saw applications in this
manual). The most important thing to remember is to
disconnect
the water pump
. The water pump is cooled by the flow of water,
and failure to disconnect the pump (when running dry) will cause
pump failure. NEVER! have the water pump engaged when dry
cutting applications are involved.
Blade Applications
This saw has been designed to incorporate the use of diamond
blades as the cutting tool. The optimum performance of this saw
is best evidenced by using 20-inch (508 mm) diamond blades
that match the material being cut. Ask your dealer, or call
Multiquip about your specific cutting application.
