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.

Diamond Blade Safety  
Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of  
the reach of children. When storing the saw in freezing  
weather, blow out the water lines to prevent damage to  
components in the water delivery system.  
Use appropriate steel-centered diamond blades  
manufactured for particular use on your saw. See further  
blade information in this manual.  
WARNING  
DON'T POLLUTE! Waste Oils and other chemicals must be  
disposed of in a manner consistent with local and state  
environmental protection regulations.  
ALWAYS inspect diamond blades  
before each use. The blade should  
exhibit no cracks, dings, or flaws in  
the steel centered core and/or rim.  
Center (arbor) hole must be  
undamaged and true.  
Always observe all applicable compulsory regulations  
relevant to environmental protection, especially fuel storage,  
the handling of hazardous substances, and the wearing of  
protective clothing and equipment. Instruct the user as  
necessary, or, as the user, request this information and  
training.  
Examine blade flanges for damage and excessive wear.  
Ensure the cleanliness of the blade before blade is installed.  
Blade should fit snugly on the shaft and against the inside/  
outside blade flanges.  
Ensure the blade is marked with an operating speed greater  
than the spindle speed of the saw.  
Only cut the material that is specified for the diamond blade.  
Read the specifications of the diamond blade to ensure the  
proper tool has been matched to the material being cut.The  
saw has been engineered for WET CUTTING. Ensure a  
WET CUTTING blade is being used and that the water supply  
system to the blade is properly functioning and being used.  
ALWAYS keep blade guards in place. Exposure of the  
diamond blade must not exceed 180 degrees.  
Ensure that the diamond blade does not come into contact  
with the ground or surface during transportation. DO NOT  
drop the diamond blade on ground or surface.  
The engine governor is set to permit maximum engine speed  
in a no-load condition. Do not tamper with the engine  
governor to increase the speed. Increasing the engine speed  
could allow the maximum rated spindle speed to be

MQ PS4030 SAW — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION  
Saw Lifting and Loading Safety  
Towing Safety Precautions (Trailer Usage)  
CAUTION  
CAUTION  
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 the saw by the guards.  
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.  
DANGER  
NEVER stand under or allow anyone else to stand under the  
saw while it is being lifted.  
The following list of suggestions should be used when towing  
your saw:  
DO NOT use the handle bars and/or front pointer as lifting  
points.  
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.  
ALWAYS use ramps capable of supporting the weight of the  
saw and the operator to load and unload the saw. If the saw  
must be lifted, always use two people. Never attempt to lift  
the saw by yourself.  
Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are  
rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight  
rating" (GVWR) of 6,000 lbs.  
NEVER tip the engine to extreme angles as it may cause oil  
to gravitate into the cylinder head making the engine start  
difficult.  
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER  
tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains, etc.  
NEVER transport the saw to or from the job site with the  
blade mounted.  
ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with "Safety  
Chains " and ensure they are attached properly.  
ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional,  
backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected and working  
Transporting (Via truck/trailer)  
DO NOT exceed the recommended highway speed when  
towing.  
ALWAYS shutdown engine before transporting.  
Tighten fuel tank cap securely and close fuel petcock to  
prevent fuel from spilling.

MQ PS4030 SAW — CHOOSING PROPER BLADE SIZE  
Choosing Proper Blade Size  
2800 (engine RPM) / 2000 (desired BS RPM) = 1.4  
To select the proper size blade for the job requires an understanding  
of the cutting capability of your saw and its relationship between  
engine power, (as reflected in the engine RPM), and the speed  
(RPM) of the Blade Shaft. The diesel engine of the MQ PS4030 runs  
at 2800 RPM (full load). If 2800 RPM was a desirable Blade Shaft  
speed for the average conditions in which you work, we would use  
thesamesizesheaveontheengineshaftandthebladeshaftmaking  
the resulting ratio between the two of 1:1. (See figure 8.)  
This is the ratio 1.4 : 1, which means that for every 1.4 revolutions of  
the engine, the Blade Shaft only turns once.  
Ratios greater than 1 : 1 also have the beneficial effect of increasing  
thetorqueoftheBladeShaft bythesamefactor(1.4inourexample).  
The manufacturer advertises the Deutz 2011 Series diesel engine  
develops 133 ft. lbs. (max) of torque. To find the theoretical Blade  
Shaft torque of our example saw setup:  
133 x 1.4 = 186.2 ft. lbs.  
Actualtorqueofthesawwillvarysomewhat. Ingeneral, moretorque  
means more cutting power.  
1.4 : 1 Ratio  
Figure 8. Blade Shaft Ratios  
1 : 1 Ratio  
Typically, however, the ratios are not used to design a level of torque;  
they are used to create optimum blade speed (Blade Shaft RPM) for  
your application.  
If, however, for your cutting conditions, you need a Blade Shaft speed  
slower than the engine speed (and this usually is the case), we then  
need to INCREASE the ratio between the two speeds by using a  
larger diameter sheave on the Blade Shaft, which will cause the  
Blade Shaft to run slower than the engine speed. If, for example, you  
know from experience that you need a Blade Shaft speed of 2000  
RPM for the size of blade you normally use, divide the engine speed  
RPM by the desired blade speed RPM (refer to the Blade RPM vs.  
SFPM Chart,Table 7.)  
The major factors are:  
diameter of blade(s) you commonly use

Blade RPM vs. Surface Feet Per Minute (SFPM)  
CAUTION  
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.  
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 7.

MQ PS4030 SAW — SPECIFIC TOOLS / SAW BLADES  
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.  
SPECIFICTOOLSTO BE USED  
This saw is to use tools (blades) as follows:  
Steel Core Segmented or Continuous Diamond Rim  
Cutting Wheel.  
Any other type of tool is not to be used.  
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.  
WARNING  
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 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.  
Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade, (Figure 9)  
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.  
4.  
5.  
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.  
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.  
Figure 9. Diamond Blade  
6.  
7.  
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.  
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 & free of debris.  
An out of round arbor condition will cause damage to the  
blade and the saw.  
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.

MQ PS4030 SAW — 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, install  
the new blade referring to the following procedure.  
Ensure the flange faces are kept  
clean and smooth as well as the  
inside diameter of the Blade Shaft.  
NOTE  
1. Raise the saw so the blade will clear the ground when  
installed.  
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.

MQ PS4030 SAW — OPERATION  
Wheel Drive System  
STARTING AND STOPPINGTHE ENGINE  
The MQ PS4030 saw features a cable-controlled hydrostatic  
transmission with infinite Forward-Neutral-Reverse (F-N-R)  
speed adjustment. This is controlled by the operation through  
the control handle located on the operator control panel. The  
saw is designed with locked axle drive, and can travel at speeds  
up to 275 feet per minute.  
WARNING  
DO NOT leave the saw unattended while the engine is  
running. NEVER start, park, or leave the saw unattended on  
a slope.  
A bi-directional variable displacement transmission pump  
powers two hydraulic wheel motors that are directly coupled to  
the wheels. The hydrostatic transmission provides vehicle  
propulsion in both forward and reverse depending on the position  
and direction of movement of the F-N-R control handle. The  
hydrostatic transmission also provides dynamic braking action.  
CAUTION  
Allow the engine to warm up before increasing engine  
speed.  
DO NOT stop the engine abruptly when hot. Reduce the  
throttle to idle and allow the engine to run one or two  
minutes before turning the ignition switch off. This allows  
the engine to cool down preventing damage to theTurbo  
charger.  
Starting the Engine  
1. Move the speed control handle to the NEUTRAL position.  
2. Set the throttle to IDLE.  
3. Make sure the Emergency Stop Button is in the OUT

Refer to Figure 31.  
To increase the forward speed, slowly move the control  
handle FORWARD.  
To decrease the forward speed, pull the control handle  
BACKWARD.  
When the control handle is in the Neutral position the saw  
will have neither a forward nor reverse motion.  
As the control handle is passed backward through the  
neutral position the saw will start to move in REVERSE.  
Reverse speed is also controlled by the position of the  
control handle.  
Figure 32. ON/OFF Switch  
6. Wait for the Glow Plug Indicator Light to go out.  
7. Turn Ignition Switch to the START position; RELEASE

Blade Shaft Maintenance  
Rotary BeltTensioner  
The fully enclosed Blade Shaft eliminates most maintenance.  
Should the Blade Shaft need service or repair however, contact  
the manufacturer for details.  
The Rotary BeltTensioner system uses a 9/16"-headed nut and  
a 15/16" or 1" nut to set belt tension by positioning an arm  
between theTensioner Pulley and theTensioner Base. Ridges  
on the Base mark the amount of tension.  
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.  
3. Tighten the 9/16"nut.

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  
In Figure 53 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.  
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 52 below where distance A must  
equal distance B.  
The second requirement for the blade is that it MUST be square  
to horizontal (90o to flat surface). See Figure 52.

Blade Flange Removal/Installation  
Correct removal or installation of the Inner Blade Flange requires  
Flange Puller (p/n 18503) as shown in figure 55.  
2. While the 3 perimeter bolts hold the two Puller Plates  
together, slide the Horseshoe Plate of the Flange Puller  
behind the (Shaft) side of the Inner Flange.  
3. Tighten the center puller bolt to remove the Inner Flange  
from the Blade Shaft.  
WARNING  
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.

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 Stop Limiting  
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.  
4. If adjustment is required, loosen Locknut on the right-side  
Depth Limiting Stop Bolt and screw bolt in several turns  
until it no longer makes contact with the axle.  
Following this procedure will prevent torsional stresses being  
applied to the frame when fully lowered due to uneven adjustment  
of Depth Limiting Stop Bolts.
