MQ SP2 SLAB SAW — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #7 (09/08/06) — PAGE 29
Saw Alignment
1.
The SP2 saw employs a front pointer (Figure 42) 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 pointer tip over the cut line.
Precise saw direction is accomplished by slight operator
pressure against the handle bars.

To reorient a pointer position, loosen the screw that secures
the pointer bar to the shaft, adjust as necessary, and retighten
the screw.
MQ SP2 SLAB SAW — OPERATION
Traveling During Cutting (Self-Propelled)
Self-propelled models of the SP2 saw have a hydrostatic trans-
mission which mechanically propels the saw during cutting
operations. To prepare the machine for self-propelled cutting:
1. Place the
travel lever
in the NEUTRAL position.
Figure 39. Transmission Engage/Disengage Lever
(Engage Position)
Traveling During Cutting (Push)
Push models of the SP2 saw must be manually moved by the
operator during cutting operations. Ensure that the handlebars
are secured in place on the console and push against them with
a controlled amount of force to prevent losing control of the
machine.

CAUTION
DO NOT force the blade into the cut any faster than its
designed tendency is effective cut and remove material. This
can damage your blade and/or your machine.
3. Move the
travel lever
towards the FORWARD position to
increase forward travel speed during cutting (Figure 40).
Placing the travel lever fully forward will move the saw at
maximum speed.
2. Lift the
transmission
engage/disengage lever,
located on the console (Figure 39). Leaving the lever down
disengages the transmission to allow for manual pushing
during cutting or moving the machine around the job site.

4. When reverse movement is required, move the
travel lever
towards the REVERSE position (Figure 41). Placing the
travel lever fully in reverse will move the saw backwards at its
maximum reverse speed.
