BD-2003 CORE SAW SAFETY SILICA DUST WARNING Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis.
BD-2003 CORE SAW SAFETY DO NOT touch hot engine components while the machine is running or immediately after operating. )) (( This hazard symbol means “Over Speed.” NEVER touch the power cord with wet hands or while standing in water when it is connected to a power source.
BD-2003 CORE SAW ON / OFF SAFETY • Turn the “ON/OFF” switch to the “OFF” position prior to connecting the machine to the power source. NEVER leave the machine unattended.

BD-2003 CORE SAW SAFETY ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS )) ON (( In order to prevent electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be followed at all times! WARNING In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord which has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
BD-2003 CORE SAW SAFETY WARNING To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this machine. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this measure of safety. When using an extension cord, the GFCI should be installed closest to the power source, followed by the extension cord and lastly, the machine.
BD-2003 CORE SAW SAFETY WARNING Use only extensions cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect.
BD-2003 CORE SAW LOCK OUT METHOD In order to help prevent accidental starting and to help make your work area “kidproof,” this machine is provided with a means to deactivate the functioning of the motor switch. The switch is equipped with a lockout tab that can be used with a lock to prevent movement of the switch. With the switch unable to move the motor cannot be turned on. Removing the lock reactivates the switch.

Blade has become dull as a result of being used on too hard a material. Improper blade specification; blade is too hard for the material being cut. Use a softer bonded blade to reduce operating stresses. 3. “Dull” blade. “Open” blade by dressing segment on abrasive block. UNEVEN SEGMENT WEAR 1.
BD-2003 CORE SAW TROUBLESHOOTING LOSS OF TENSION 1. 2. 3. Steel center has been overheating as a result of blade spinning on arbor. Check water flow, distribution and lines. Tighten the blade shaft nut. Make certain the drive pin is functioning (on concrete saws). Steel center has been overheating from rubbing the side of material being cut. Make certain blade RPM is correct so the blade operates at its tensioned speed. Tune engine according to manufacturer’s manual.
BD-2003 CORE SAW TROUBLESHOOTING CRACKS IN STEEL CENTER 1. 2. 3. 4. SEGMENT CRACKS 1. 2. Blade flutters in cut as a result of blade losing tension. Tighten the blade shaft nut. Make sure blade is running at proper tensioned speed and that drive pin is functioning properly. Blade specification is too hard for the material being cut. Use a softer blade bond to eliminate stresses that create cracks. Bad blade shaft bearing. Replace blade shaft bearing. Overheating due to lack of water.

BD-2003 CORE SAW GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION THEORY OF DIAMOND BLADES Diamond blades do not really cut; they grind the material through friction. Diamond crystals, often visible at the leading edge and sides of the rim/segment, remove material by scratching out particles of hard, dense materials, or by knocking out larger particles of loosely bonded abrasive material. This process eventually cracks or fractures the diamond particle, breaking it down into smaller pieces.
