MQ SP2 SLAB SAW — MAJOR COMPONENTS
Figure 3 displays the location of the various operational control
features of the MQ SP2 slab saw. Features are dependent on the
specific model saw selected. The function of each console component
or indicator is explained below:
1. Handle Bars – Used to steer and push the SP2 slab saw
during cutting operations. The handle can be folded down
for transportation.
2. Forward/Reverse Speed Lever – Controls forward and
reverse speeds for self-propelled operation. Provides
positive neutral for engine start. ALWAYS place
transmission engage/disengage lever in the engage
position before setting speed lever (self-propelled models
only).
3. Raise/Lower Crank Handle – Physically orients saw
(raises or lowers) depending on cranking direction (CW or
CCW). Turning the handle
clockwise
lowers the saw,
turning the saw counter-clockwise
raises the saw.
4. Transmission Engage/Disengage Lever – Forward
locking position engages transmission. Rear Locking
position disengages transmission from rear axle and
permits "free wheeling" (self-propelled models only).
5. Water Tank – A 5-gallon capacity water tank provides water
for the saw blade during wet cutting applications.

7. Hydraulic Drive Transmission - Controls the saw's
forward and reverse movement by using the
forward/
reverse speed lever
(Self-propelled units only).
8. Saw Blade Guard –
Covers the saw blade during cutting
operations & allows water hoses to be connected to the
cover for wet cutting.
9. Belt Cover – Covers the drive shaft belt, engine pulley
and the hydraulic transmission belt (on self-propelled
models only).
10. Drive-Shaft Pulley Guard – Covers the drive shaft pulley.
11. Rear Wheels – Allows the saw to be rolled across ground.
On self-propelled models, the rear wheels are turned by
the spline gears attached to the hydraulic transmission
system.
12. Pointer Arm – Front pointer wheel assists in straight
tracking. Lifts up for storage and pivots down for use.
13. Lifting Bale Kit – Allows for easy lifting and transporting
the MQ SP2 slab saw.
