The cutting blade guard performs the following functions: Protects the operator from the rotating cutting blade. Diverts workpiece particles and sparks or chips from a damaged cutting blade away from the operator.
4 Safety and information labels Safety and information labels Your machine has adhesive labels containing the most important instructions and safety information. Make sure that all the labels are kept legible. Replace any missing or illegible labels. The item numbers for the labels are in the parts book. Item Label Description...
5 Scope of delivery Scope of delivery The scope of delivery includes: Floor saw. Open end wrench. Operator's manual. Description Application Cutting expansion joints in concrete and asphalt surfaces. Repair work on streets, e.g. cutting out damaged areas in asphalt and concrete. Straightening blacktops and concrete surfaces.
Never exceed the maximum speeds (imprinted on cutting blade)! Use a suitable diamond-edged cutting blade for the material to be cut (asphalt, concrete ...). Wacker Neuson offers an extensive range of diamond-edged cut- ting blades in different qualities. Do not cut into the gravel area using diamond-edged cutting blades. When cut- ting on the edge of the track or when cutting two different materials (cutting in the joint area), uneven wear is possible.
7 Transport to the worksite Transport to the worksite Pos. Description Pos. Description Transport strap Stirrup handle Guide wheel Requirements: When transporting the floor saw, use only suitable hoisting gear with a minimum load-bearing capacity of 150 kg. Always turn off the motor during transportation! Empty the water tank! Remove the cutting blade prior to transport.
8 Operation Operation Adjusting the handle Pos. Description Star grip (left/right) The height of the stirrup handle can be adjusted according to the use and the body height of the operator. Loosen the star grip on both sides, swivel the handle to the desired position and re- tighten the two star grip.
8 Operation Cutting depth setting Pos. Description Pos. Description Crank Receptacle With the crank you can set the cutting depth precisely. One turn changes the cutting depth by exactly 5 mm. Turn the crank in the clockwise direction to increase the cut- ting depth and turn it in the counterclockwise direction to reduce the cutting depth.
8 Operation Parking brake Integrated parking brake The machine features an integrated parking brake. The front wheels are automatically blocked in transport position (lowest cutting po- sition without a cutting blade) or if the maximum cutting depth is exceeded. Assembling the cutting blade Pos.
8 Operation Disassembling the cutting blade Pos. Description Pos. Description Cutting blade guard Water supply Engine Crank Proceed as follows for the disassembly of the cutting blade: 1. Turn off the engine and the water supply. 2. Turn the crank in the counterclockwise direction until the blade is clear of the ground.
8 Operation 8.8.2 Fuel Do not smoke during refueling and make sure that there are no open flames or sparks in the immediate vicinity. Turn off the engine and open the fuel tank cap. Only use leadfree fuel. Close the fuel tap before the fuel tank is filled with fuel. Always use the fuel filter when refilling fuel.
8 Operation 4. Switch the main switch to "I". 5. Pull the starter handle slowly until you feel resistance and then pull the handle fully out with force. Note: Caution: Do not suddenly let go of the recoil starter handle but guide it back gently by hand to prevent damage to the starter.
8 Operation 8.11 Turning off the engine To turn off the engine in the event of an emergency, switch the main switch to "0". Under normal circumstances, proceed as follows: Pos. Description Pos. Description Main switch Throttle lever 1. Push the throttle lever backwards as far as it goes. 2.
Idle setting Check idle setting – set if necessary. Spark plug Change. 300 hours (annually) Change. Air cleaner Have this repaired by Wacker Neuson service. Valve clearance Checking engine oil level Turn off the engine. Align the engine bolting level horizontally.
9 Maintenance Remove any dirt around the oil level dipstick. Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. Screw the oil level dipstick all the way back in and pull it out again. Check: The motor oil level must be between the lower and upper marks. If necessary, pour new engine oil into the opening until the upper mark is reached on the oil level dipstick (see chapter Technical data for oil type).
9 Maintenance Cleaning the cyclone housing: If dirt accumulates in the cyclone housing, unscrew the three special flat head screws and wipe the components or rinse them with water. Then completely dry off the components and assemble them carefully. Caution: During the reassembly of the cyclone, make sure that the cloth of the air inlet fits properly into the groove of the preliminary filter cap.
Loosen the four fastening nuts of the engine until the engine can be moved with- out play. Tighten the belt with the tension screw. BFS735: Belt tension 00 N (vibration frequency 119 Hz), BFS940/1345/1350: Belt tension 0 N (vibration frequency 98 Hz).
6. Screw on the bearing flange (6 screws). 7. Tighten the belt with the tension screw. BFS735: Belt tension 300 N (vibration frequency 119 Hz), BFS940/1345/1350: Belt tension 350 N (vibration frequency 98 Hz). 8. If necessary, correct the parallel alignment of the engine.
9 Maintenance Checking the spark plug Remove any soot deposits from the electrodes of the spark plug using a spark plug cleaner or a wire brush. Check the spark plug gap and set it to, if necessary, see chapter Technical Data. Select the correct spark plug, see chapter Technical Data.
