PAGE 16 MQ-WHITEMAN FS2 CONCRETE SAW PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL REV. #2 (11/08/01)  
FS2 CONCRETE SAW GENERAL INFORMATION  
A unique water plumbing system allows for independent orientation  
of either fluted floodwater to the blade for wet cutting applications or  
cones of aerosol mist to diminish material dust when dry cutting.  
FAMILIARIZATION  
The MQ Whiteman FS2 Series Concrete Saws are designed for  
wet or dry cutting utilizing diamond blades. They have been  
engineered for general, industrial and high production flat sawing  
applications. The exceptional performance of these saws centers  
around innovative features, top quality components, and committed  
attention to state-of-the-art manufacturing.  
Operator control of the saw is safely accomplished with adjustable  
ergonomic handle bars, and a combination of conveniently oriented  
items on the console such as: Raise/Lower Handle, Tachometer/  
Hourmeter, 3-way water valve, depth feed gauge, and engine ON/  
OFF switch.  
The reinforced heavy gauge steel frame and chassis assembly has  
been precisely jig welded to eliminate operational bending and/or  
flex that would lead to diminished blade performance. Additionally,  
the general weight-to-strength ratio design of the frame and chassis  
assembly provides for optimum weight distribution to keep the blade  
running true in the cut.  
All FS2 saws are designed, engineered and manufactured  
with strict adherence to American National Standards Institute,  
Inc. (ANSI) guidelines B7.1 and B7.5.  
An innovative outboard blade shaft bearing assembly ensures  
minimalflutterandshaftharmonicsprovidingthemostadvantageous  
condition for a diamond blade at operating speeds. Heavy duty  
front and rear axles, oversized reinforced wheels supported by roller  
wheel bearings and locking collars, and industrial under carriage  
assembly ensure accurate tracking and years of reliable use.  
POWER PLANTS  
The FS2 Saw Series provides a variety of gasoline engine choices  
(Table 3). Selection of a specific engine, and its capacity measured  
inhorsepower/torque, directlyaffectstheperformanceofthediamond  
blade.  
The FS2 series is generally classified in the industry as a "LOW to  
MEDIUM " horsepower saw. This classification is particularly useful  
when selecting the proper diamond blade for an application. Refer  
to the engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions regarding  
engine operation and maintenance practices.  
The positive locking Raise/Lower screw feed system with accurate  
depth gauge easily orients blade elevation, and will not permit blade  
creep during cutting operations.

FS2 CONCRETE SAW GENERAL INFORMATION  
UNDER CARRIAGE SYSTEM  
WATER SYSTEM  
A jig welded heavy steel gauge under carriage assembly supports  
the saw in tracking, pivoting and stabilization. A 3/4" diameter rear  
axle supports two solid rubber (10" x 2.75" x 3/4") cast hub wheels  
withrollerbearings, greasefittingsandlockingcollars. A5/8"diameter  
front axle supports two solid rubber (5" x 2" x 5/8") cast hub wheels  
withrollerbearings, greasefittingsandlockingcollars. Theassembly  
pivots about the rear axle and is lubricated through a 90-degree  
grease fitting in the rear axle tube. See page 36.  
TheFS2Seriesemploysanindependentwatersystemthatprovides  
eitherfloodwateroraerosolmistingwatertotheblade. Forfloodwater,  
two 6" fluted tubes are connected via a manifold, and are oriented  
CCC  
inside the blade guard to provide optimum water volume and  
dispersal to both sides of the blade.  
A separate water misting system (14" blade guard) utilizes  
specifically positioned spray nozzles that project a special cone of  
aerosol water to the blade when dry cutting and/or cutting operations  
that require minimal usage of water. This misting spray  
(approximately 5 gallons/hour), along with the geometry of the blade  
guard considerably diminish the dust signature generated by dry  
cutting. The water misting system requires approximately 40 psi of  
pressure for effective results.  
BLADE DRIVE SYSTEM  
An innovative blade shaft assembly has been specifically designed  
to support the optimum distribution of torque from the engine shaft to  
the blade shaft, and to ensure minimal vibratory conditions on the  
tips of the shaft.  
A standard "garden hose" hookup valve connects the water source  
to the saw, and a 3-way water lever (OFF/MIST/FLOOD) is  
conveniently located on the console. See page 44.  
Balancedengine&bladeshaftpulleysareconnectedtotheirrespect  
shafts via taper lock bushings, and three 3VX V-belts connect the  
engine pulley to the blade shaft pulley. The 1- 1/4" diameter blade  
shaft is supported by two self-aligning pillow block bearings that are  
uniquely positioned on the most outboard portion of the reinforced  
frame.  
CONSOLE  
An ergonomically designed control console allows the operator to  
easily understand and/or operate the depth feed gauge, positive 3-  
way water valve, raise/lower control handle, digital engine  
tachometer/hourmeter, engine ON/OFF switch, handle bar  
assembly, and standard "garden hose" water hook up. A rear panel  
coverassemblyiseasilyremovedtopermitaccessinsidetheconsole  
of the saw. See page 44.  
The combination of pulley and blade shaft bearing positioning  
ensures minimal vibration & flutter to the ends of the blade shaft.  
The blade drive system has been designed for left and right hand  
cutting. See page 38.  
MECHANICAL RAISE/LOWER SYSTEM  
A positive locking mechanical raise and lower screw feed assembly  
supports elevation cycling operations. A crank raise/lower handle  
islocatedontheconsolewith"clockwise"rotationprovidinglowering  
action, and "counter-clockwise" rotation providing raising action.  
An ACME precision screw and thread assembly provide accurate  
travel; while a spring loaded plunge ball system ensures positive

The two-piece heavy gauge blade guard, available in 14" or 18".  
The 14" blade guard (standard) is designed with two fully  
independent water systems to meet the challenges of dry or wet  
cutting operations. First, a fluted floodwater manifold assembly  
supplies optimum volume and dispersal of water to both sides of the  
diamond blade for wet cutting applications.  
A steel pointer assembly is synchronized with raise/lower handle  
rotations to accurately depict depth feed. See Table 4 for blade  
selection with respect to depth of cut. Blade orientation is referenced  
on the console's horizontal depth feed gauge (see page 52), and is  
calibrated for 12", 14", 16" and 18" diamond blades.  
The sizable (6") fluted tubes that direct the floodwater resist clogging  
and are easily removed for maintenance. Second, a true water  
misting manifold assembly provides specifically oriented cones of  
aerosol spray to the blade via two water jet nozzles.  
The spray pattern and orientation, in conjunction with the design of  
thebladeguard, providesexceptionaldustsuppressionwhencutting  
dry, and may also be desired when the job site requires minimal use  
ofwater.

FS2 CONCRETE SAW GENERAL INFORMATION  
TACHOMETER/ HOURMETER  
Figure 6 shows the location of the components of the FS2  
Console.The function of each component is described below:  
A self-powered digital Tachometer/Hourmeter keeps true  
running RPM and time.The operation is triggered by an external  
lead wrapped around the spark plug of the engine. When the  
engine is running, the display will read the RPM of the engine.  
1.  
Horizontal Depth Feed Gauge Indicates the blade  
cutting depth in inches.The scale allows for orientation of  
12, 14, 16 and 18 inch diamond blades.  
Depending on the blade diameter selected, the steel  
pointer head will indicate zero inches when the blade is  
just touching the surface, positive numbers when below  
the surface, and negative numbers when above the surface.  
The "Depth Feed Gauge" is calibrated in inches and is set  
at the factory  
When the engine is off, the display will switch to run time (initially  
in minutes), and then switching to hours after the first hour of  
operation. This instrument provides quartz crystal solid-state  
technology, and is built with a custom chip and die bonding  
construction for maximum durability.

4.  
Directional Arrow Check to ensure that the blade is  
oriented properly on the blade shaft for sawing. Reference  
the directional arrow in the blade and place it so the direction  
of rotation downcutswith the turn of the shaft.  
WARNING  
Failure to thoroughly inspect the diamond blade (Figure 9) for  
operational safety could result in damage to the blade, the saw,  
and may cause injury to the user or others in the operating area.  
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.  
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 blade, 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.  
Figure 9. Diamond Blade  
1. Drive Pin Hole A commonly located hole located 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 cores 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.

the saw. Damage to the blade and/or saw may occur if the  
blade strike the pavement.  
9. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever  
(Figure 19) to the CLOSED position. If the engine has not  
started repeat steps 1 through 5.  
CAUTION:  
10. Before the saw is placed into operation, run the engine for  
several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would  
associate with a loose guard and/or covers.  
l
NEVER stop the engine in the cut while  
working at high speeds, except for  
extreme emergencies.  
11. All sawing is done at full throttle. Your engine governor has  
been set at the factory to ensure an optimum speed setting.

FS2 CONCRETE SAW OPERATION  
Saw Alignment  
5. Set the depth and saw only as the job conditions and  
specifications require. Unnecessary deep sawing is wasteful  
to the life of your blade.  
1. The FS2 employs a front and rear pointer (Figure 22) that has  
been precisely aligned with the diamond blade at the factory.  
Referencing the figure below, accurate tracking is accom-  
plished by referencing the front and rear pointer tips over the  
cut line. Precise saw direction is accomplished by slight  
operator pressure against the handle bars.  
6. The preferred method of sawing is to step cut in increments  
of 2(51mm). Step-cuttingprovides the optimum opportu-  
nity for the blade to cut fast and last its longest.  
CAUTION:  
ALWAYS saw in a straight line only. Serious  
damage to the blade may occur if the saw is  
twisted or forced to cut radius shapes.  
7. The rotation of the blade creates a tendency for the saw to pull  
in a particular direction (to the right if the blade is mounted on  
the right, to the left if the blade is mounted on the left).  
Figure 22. Saw Pointers (Front/Rear)  
8. To ensure a straight line of sawing, apply pressure to the  
appropriate handle as you slowly advance the saw forward.  
DO NOT force the blade to the cut any faster than its natural  
tendency.  
2. To reorient a pointer position, loosen the hex screw that  
secures the pointer bar to the shaft, adjust as necessary, and  
retighten the hex screw.  
3. For operator comfort, an ergonomically designed handle bar  
adjusts by loosening two clamping knobs (page 46, item 8),  
and adjusts to the desired height. Tighten the knobs back  
down when the desired height is met.  
WARNING  
If the engine stalls for any reason during  
sawing, raise the blade out of the cut  
before restarting.  
Wet Saw Operation  
9. The operator must recognize and adhere to the optimum  
speed that the saw advances while sawing. DO NOT force  
the saw in the cut. Observe the engine tachometer from time  
to time to get the feel for a smooth sawing pace relative to  
RPM.  
WARNING  
The operator must wear the appropriate protective equipment  
and clothing while engaged in sawing.  
10. Factors for sawing economy:  
1. Connect hose from water source to the hose fitting connec-  
tion (see item 14, page 44 "Water System Assembly") on the  
saw. The source pressure should be approximately 40 psi.

Diamond Blades and Blade Speed  
The operator must wear the appropriate protective equipment  
and clothing while engaged in sawing.  
1. Diamond Sawing consists of cutting WET or DRY.  
2. Matching the correct blade for the specific job and material  
being cut optimizes performance and value.  
1. Ensure the proper DRY Cutting blade is selected for the job.  
2. With the 14" blade guard, select the MISTposition (misting  
water) or the OFFposition on the console (Figure 6). If  
misting water is desired, the water source must be able to  
deliver 40 psi of pressure to ensure an optimum spray  
pattern.

as a blade coolant during sawing. Cutting too deep with one  
pass, or exerting excessive forward/sideward pressure may  
damage the blade.
