SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS  
WARNING WARNING  
SILICOSIS WARNING  
RESPIRATORY HAZARDS  
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. In addition, California and some other  
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a  
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such  
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions  
mentioned above.  
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and  
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes  
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal  
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,  
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are  
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular  
process and/or material being cut or the composition of  
the tool being used, review the material safety data  
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material  
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as  
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous  
materials. California and some other authorities, for  
instance, have published lists of substances known to  
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful  
effects.  
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where  
possible. In this regard use good work practices and  
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or  
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade  
associations. Water should be used for dust  
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the  
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot  
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should  
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for  
the materials being used.

TOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (TRAILER USAGE)  
CAUTION Transporting Saw  
SAW LIFTING AND LOADING SAFETY  
CAUTION — Lifting Saw  
Conform to Department ofTransportation (DOT) Safety  
Towing Regulations before transporting saw on public  
roads.  
This saw is very heavy. Use proper heavy lifting  
procedures and DO NOT attempt to lift by the guards.  
DANGER — Do Not Stand Upder Saw  
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the  
saw on public roads, always make sure the trailer that supports  
the saw and the towing vehicle are in good operating condition  
and both units are mechanically sound.  
NEVER stand under or allow anyone else to stand under  
the saw while it is being lifted.  
DO NOT use the handle bars and/or front pointer as lifting  
points.  
The following list of suggestions should be used when towing  
your saw:  
ALWAYS use ramps capable of supporting the weight  
of the saw and the operator to load and unload the saw.  
Check the tire air pressure on both towing vehicle and trailer.  
Refer to the tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure.  
Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.  
NEVER tip the engine to extreme angles as it may cause  
oil to gravitate into the cylinder head making the engine  
start difficult.  
Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are  
rated equal to, or greater than the trailergross vehicle weight  
rating” (GVWR) of 6,000 lbs.  
TRANSPORTING (VIATRUCK/TRAILER)

CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE  
CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE  
Proper blade selection is a product of:  
Understanding the capability of your saw  
Understanding the specifications of the engine  
Understanding the blade shaft speed of your saw  
Understanding diamond blade operating limitations  
The depth of cut required  
Cutting conditions  
Desired cutting performance requirements  
Engine (RPM) and Surface Feet per Minute (SFPM)  
Speeds  
This saw uses a belt drive system to propel the diamond  
blade. Specifically sized engine drive and blade shaft  
pulleys, engine (RPM) and blade diameter determine the  
ultimate peripheral speed (SFPM) of the diamond blade. It  
is important to understand the SFPM speed — For safety  
and performance, it is essential that the selected  
diameter diamond blade be matched up to a proper  
SFPM. See Table 8.  
Four 4030 models are available (403016, 403020, 403026,  
403030), and are designed with different pulley ratio speeds  
to govern the blade shaft RPM output.The combination of  
the different diameters of the pulleys along with engine  
(RPM) determines this ratio that ultimately provides a RPM  
speed at the blade shaft (Figure 7).

CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE  
Blade RPM vs. Surface Feet Per Minute (SFPM)  
CAUTION  
When choosing a blade for your cutting conditions, follow  
the blade manufacturer’s recommendations. Match the  
blade speed (blade shaft RPM) to the recommended blade  
surface feet per minute (SFPM). See Table 8.  
Verify the engine start switch is OFF before removing  
or installing a blade.  
Tighten the 5/8" blade-mounting bolt to 125-175 ft. lbs.  
of torque.  
WARNING  
Maximum allowable blade surface feet per minute per  
ANSI Standard B.7.1 is 16,000 SFPM.

diamond blades up to a 30" (762mm). The series further  
offers four distinct pulley ratio set-ups that provide specific  
blade shaft RPM. Pairing a diamond blade diameter to a  
proper ratio speed and blade guard size is imperative.  
Additionally, matching up blade diameters with the  
appropriate blade guard size is equally as important. See

SPECIFIC TOOLS / SAW BLADES  
uniform about the rim of the blade and not succumbing  
to an “under cutting” condition brought about by highly  
abrasive material or improper under cutting core  
protection.  
SPECIFICTOOLSTO BE USED  
This saw is to use tools (blades) as follows:  
Steel core segmented or continuous diamond rim cutting  
wheel  
4. Directional Arrow — Check to ensure that the blade  
is oriented properly on the spindle for sawing. Reference  
the directional arrow on the blade and place it so the  
direction of rotation “downcuts” with the turn of the shaft.  
Any other type of tool is not to be used.  
SAW BLADES  
5. Diamond Segment or Rim — Ensure there are no  
cracks, dings, or missing portions of the diamond  
segment/rim. DO NOT use a blade that is missing a  
segment or a portion of the rim. Damaged and/or  
missing segments/rims may cause damage to your  
saw and injury to the user or others in the operating  
area.  
WARNING — Inspect Diamond Blade  
Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade (Figure  
8) for operational safety could result in damage to the  
blade or the saw and may cause injury to the user or  
others in the operating area. Discard damaged or worn  
blades and replace with fresh blade.  
6. Specifications Ensure that the blade specifications,  
size, and diameter properly match up to the sawing  
operation. Wet blades must have water to act as a  
coolant. Utilizing a diamond blade not matched properly  
to the task may result in poor performance and/or blade  
damage.  
7. Arbor Hole — It is essential that the arbor hole diameter  
properly matches the shaft arbor, and that it is free  
from distortions. Correct blade flanges (collars) must  
be used.The inside face of the flanges must be clean  
and free of debris. An out of round arbor condition will  
cause damage to the blade and the saw.  
Figure 8. Diamond Blade  
8. MAX RPM — This RPM reference is the maximum  
safe operating speed for the blade selected. NEVER  
exceed the max RPM on the diamond blade. Exceeding  
the MAX RPM is dangerous and may cause poor  
performance and may damage the blade. All blades  
used must be designed for the maximum spindle RPM.  
1. Drive Pin Hole — A commonly located hole on the  
diamond blade core that prevents operational blade  
slippage between the inner & outer blade flanges  
(collars). Inspect the diameter of the hole to ensure  
there is no distortion, and that a snug fit develops  
between the hole and drive pin.  
2. Stress Relief Holes (Gullets) — Check the steel core  
for cracks that may have propagated from the slots  
and/or gullets. Cracks indicate extreme fatigue failure,  
and if sawing continues, catastrophic failure will occur.  
3. Edge of the Steel Core — Check the diameter edge  
for discoloration (blue oxidation) indicating an  
overheating condition caused by insufficient cooling  
water/air. Overheating of blades may lead to loss of  
core tension and/or increase the possibility for blade  
failure. Check to make sure the steel core’s width is

INSTALLING THE BLADE  
INSTALLING THE BLADE  
The blade can be mounted on either side of the saw to  
accomodate different cutting jobs. With the proper sized  
blade selected, reference the following procedure to install  
the new blade.  
Ensure the flange faces are kept clean and  
smooth as well as the inside diameter of the  
blade shaft.  
Figure 10. Aligning Flange Pin Through Blade  
(Standard Blade Flange System shown)  
1. Raise the saw so the blade will clear the ground when  
installed.  
WARNING Tighten Blade Mounting Bolt  
2. Remove the blade flange bolt. This bolt is LEFT-HAND  
thread on the RIGHT side of the saw and RIGHT-HAND  
thread on the LEFT side of the saw.  
Failure to properly tighten the blade mounting bolt can  
result in the bolts coming loose with the blade flange  
potentially falling off the rotating blade shaft assembly.  
The blade and other parts coming loose from the saw  
during operation pose a high risk of serious injury or  
even death!  
3. Verify the blade flanges are clean and not damaged. Pay  
particular attention to all holes and recesses (Figure 9).  
6. With the blade still off the ground, tighten mounting bolt  
as tight as can be achieved until blade spins. (Figure 11,  
Item B shows tightening direction for blade mounted  
on RIGHT side of saw.)

INSTALLING THE BLADE  
Stacking Blades for Wide Cuts  
CAUTION — ImproperTorque  
Combining, or stacking blades together to make wide cuts  
requires an optional bushing extension kit.  
An improperly torqued mounting bolt can cause the  
inside diameter of the blade, blade shaft, and flange  
bushing to quickly wear. This can result in poor cutting  
characteristics or premature failure of these parts  
requiring replacement and machine “downtime.”  
WARNING  
NEVER attempt to stack blades beyond the capacity  
of the kits described here. NEVER operate the saw  
without blade guards in place.

1. Remove existing blade (see previous section).  
2. 125-175 lbs (56.7-79.4 Kg)  
2. Replace the standard flange bushing, outer flange, and  
mounting bolt that came with the saw with the extended  
bolt and bushing and the new outer flange supplied  
with the kit. Remember that the mounting bolt for the  
right side of the saw has a left-hand thread while the  
mounting bolt for the left side of the saw has a right-  
hand thread.  
Figure 12. Blade Wrench  
125-175 lbs. (56.7 -79.4 Kg) of weight applied  
to the end of the blade wrench will provide  
125-175 ft. lbs. (169.5 -237.3 Nm) of torque  
to the blade mounting bolt (Figure 12).  
3. Insert the bushing and mounting bolt through the outer  
flange and stack of blades. Spacers are required  
between blades when stacking multiple blades. The  
longer bushing and bolt allow blades to be stacked  
together while maintaining proper alignment of flange  
bushing into blade shaft.  
6. Lower the blade to the ground surface (Figure 13, Item  
A) to prevent blade from spinning and tighten the  
mounting bolt to 125-175 ft. lbs. (169.5 -237.3 Nm) of  
torque (Figure13, Item B).  
4. Align flange pin through the stack of blades into the

RAISE-LOWER CONTROLS  
RAISE - LOWER CONTROLS  
SETTINGTHE DEPTH STOP  
The MQ SP4030 saw uses a 24-volt motor and hydraulic  
cylinder to raise and lower the saw.The raise-lower function  
is controlled by the operator through a 3-position toggle  
switch on the raise-lower control handle located on the  
operator’s control panel.  
The SP4030 saw uses a controlled depth stop to position  
and set the blade at a desired cut depth (Figure 26).  
Figure 26. Depth Stop  
Figure 24. Raise-Lower Control Toggle Switch  
If a blade is changed for any reason, or if  
wear is suspected since the last time  
depth stop was set, you will need to reset  
the depth stop. If a cut at a precise depth is  
necessary, it is best to make a pre-cut and  
MEASURE at deepest part of cut to confirm  
cut is at desired depth.  
1. To lower the blade, push the toggle switch located on  
the end of the control handle FORWARD (Figure 24).  
2. To raise the blade, pull the toggle switch located on  
the end of the control handle BACKWARD.  
Setting the Depth Indicator  
1. Lower the blade until it just touches the cutting surface.  
WARNING  
2. Set the Depth Indicator dial to zero.(The depth indicator  
now accurately indicates how deep the blade is cutting.)  
See Figure 25.  
Always adhere to manufacturer’s blade speed  
recommendations for surface feet per minute when  
choosing a blade for your cutting conditions. See blade  
size/speed information section.

RAISE-LOWER CONTROLS/WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM  
To control the depth of cut with saw running and blade  
mounted:  
WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM  
The 4030 Series features a cable-controlled hydraulic  
powered gear motor system with infinite Forward-Neutral-  
Reverse (F-N-R) speed adjustment. This is controlled by  
the operator through the speed control handle located on  
the control panel. The saw is designed with a locked axle  
drive and can travel forward at transportation speeds up to  
275 feet per minute.  
1. Set depth indicator as outlined on previous page.  
2. Loosen pointer knob (Figure 27, item 1).  
3. Rotate pointer to desired depth (Figure 27, item 2).  
4. Re-tighten pointer knob to lock-in cutting depth.  
A bi-directional variable displacement transmission pump  
powers two hydraulic wheel motors that are directly coupled  
to the wheels. This design provides vehicle propulsion in  
both forward and reverse depending on the position and  
direction of movement of the F-N-R control handle. The  
wheel drive system also provides dynamic braking action.

Rotary Belt Tensioner  
BLADE SHAFT  
The rotary belt tensioner system uses a 9/16"-headed nut  
and a 15/16" or 1" nut to set belt tension by positioning an  
arm between the tensioner pulley and the tensioner base.  
Ridges on the base mark the amount of tension.  
The fully enclosed blade shaft eliminates most maintenance  
(Figures 48 and 49). Should the blade shaft need service  
or repair however, contact the manufacturer for details.  
Blade Shaft Assembly  
Adjust to 3-1/2 notches on the tensioner:  
1. Loosen the 9/16" nut.  
2. Rotate the tensioner nut clockwise until the desired  
belt tension is achieved.

MAINTENANCE  
Removal and Replacement  
DRIVE SYSTEM ALIGNMENT  
To ensure correct blade shaft/wheel alignment, this  
operation should be performed by and authorized service  
center.  
In addition to blade alignment, maintaining proper blade  
and drive system alignment will allow the saw to cut lines  
that are straight without much effort. Therefore the front  
wheels and blade shaft axles MUST be at right angles to  
the frame edge.  
Blade Alignment  
Maintaining proper blade and drive system alignment will  
allow the saw to cut lines that are straight without much  
effort. Therefore the blade shaft flanges MUST be  
equadistant to the sides of the saw, (+/- .030"). See Figure  
50 below where distance A must equal distance B.  
In Figure 51 you see the distance “A” on the right side is  
shown as “A + .187"” which means that the distance  
between centers of the front and rear drive axles are 3/16"  
longer than on the opposite side. This will have the effect  
of causing the saw to “steer” slightly to the left. After  
becoming familar with the saws particular sawing  
characteristics, the operator may wish to have this alignment  
altered to fit his own preferences or to fit a particular  
application.  
The second requirement for the blade is that it MUST be  
square to horizontal (90o to flat surface). See Figure 50.

2. While the 3 perimeter bolts (item 4) hold the two puller  
plates together, slide the horseshoe plate (item 2) of  
the flange puller behind the shaft side of the inner  
flange.  
Correct removal or installation of the inner blade flange  
requires a flange puller (p/n 18503) as shown in Figure 53.  
WARNING  
3. Tighten the center puller bolt (item 5) to remove the  
inner flange from the blade shaft.  
If unfamilar with this operation, seek assistance or  
training from someone that is familar with this operation.  
Because of the tapered fit between the blade flange  
and blade shaft, 5-10 tons of force is required to release  
the inner flange from the blade shaft. Both parts and  
tools can become dangerous projectiles if instructions  
are not followed properly.  
If the inner flange does not readily break free  
from the tapered blade shaft while the center  
puller bolt is tightened, lightly tap on the  
center puller bolt to allow the flange to break  
free from the shaft.

Installing the Inner Blade Flange  
1. Ensure that the tapered portion of the blade shaft and the  
inner blade flange are clean and free of burrs or indentations.  
Clean and repair as necessary.See Figure 54.  
7. Inspect the inner flange to ensure the proper seating  
of the tapered fit. The inner flange should be seated  
between .030" and 0.0" (flush) to the end of the blade  
shaft. See Figure 55.  
2. Ensure the drive key is in place (Figure 54, item 6).  
3. Slide the inner flange (item 5) onto the tapered portion  
of the blade shaft (item 7).

problems. These indications are a result of  
other issues that should be addressed.  
5. Adjust the left-side stop bolt (item 1) in or out until the  
blade flange or lower belt guard achieves 1/8" to 3/16"  
ground clearance. Tighten lock nut on left side.  
6. Raise saw and place 2 jack stands under the blade  
shaft housing.  
The saw comes factory-adjusted for maximum usable cut  
depth. Should this setting need to be changed, perform the  
following:  
7. While holding the raise-lower Switch in the Lowering  
position, raise the front axle assembly until it contacts  
the left-side depth limiting stop bolt.  
1. With the BLADE REMOVED, park the saw on a flat  
and level surface.  
8. While holding the axle firmly against the left-side depth  
limiting stop bolt, screw the right-side depth limiting  
stop bolt out until it makes contact with the axle.Tighten  
lock nut on right side.  
2. Fully lower the saw onto the depth limiting stop bolts.  
3. Measure the distance from the blade flanges to the  
surface.  
Following this procedure will prevent torsional stresses  
being applied to the frame when fully lowered due to uneven  
adjustment of depth limiting stop bolts.  
4. If adjustment is required, loosen locknut on the right-  
side depth limiting stop bolt (Figure 57, item 2) and  
screw bolt in several turns until it no longer makes  
contact with the axle.
