Equipment Care and Protection
Spray a light film of WD40 on entire chain before and after every useStore saw in clean dry areaSupply hoses have minimum working pressure 2500psiTool repair should be done by qualified personnel
Couplers must be kept cleanHydraulic circuit valve must be in OFF position when coupling or uncoupling hosesChain saw is used for concrete, concrete block, brick, natural stoneNOT wood
Hydraulic System Requirements
System should provide a flow of 7-9 gpm at operating pressure of 2000psiSystem should not have more then 250psi backpressure measured at the tool
System should have sufficient heat rejection capacity(max oil pressure140deg F)Hose size: .500 inch / 12mm I.D. - up to 50 feet longHose size: .625 inch / 16mm I.D. - up to 100 feet long
Supplies
Apron, Safety Glasses, Supply Hose, Adapter, Lubricant
Operating Instructions
Hydraulic power source should develop flow of 7-9gpmRelief valve set to 2100-2500psiMake certain power source return does not exceed 250psi
Wipe couplers with clean lint-free clothConnect hoses from power source to tool fittingsConnect return hose first and disconnect it last (avoids trapped pressure)Move circuit valve to ON position
Connecting to Water Supply
Using a standard garden hose, connect the DS11 to a city or auxiliary water supplyTurn saw on and read water pressure at the water gauge. Pressure must be at least 50psi (4 gpm)If you cannot achieve 50 psi use the Stanley Water Pump Kit

Chain Replacement and Break In
Ensure bar and sprocket are in good conditionReplace chain and ensure bumper guard proceeds each diamond segment in the blade rotation.The chain is designed to operate in only one direction!
Chain Replacement and Break In (cont.)
Operate for two minutes away from intended cut.Check tension and adjust as required

Chain and Bar Adjustment
Check the chain tension often during operationIf it is too loose, adjust itMake sure the chain does not exceed a clearance of ¼ inch from the barMake sure the bar attaching nuts are fully tightened and chain guard is in place
Chain Tension Adjustment
Turn off water and powerLoosen the two saw bar attachment nutsUsing the saw bar adjustment screw, tighten chain until you are still able to rotate it 1 full revolution by hand
Pull chain around the saw bar to make sure it fits the sprocketFully tighten the two saw bar attachment nuts
Saw Bar Attachment Nuts
< ¼”

Check chain segment wear
Using calipers, measure several chain segmentsIf the average measurement is less than 1/16 inch the chain must be replaced
> 1/16”
Operating procedures
Check chain and barTurn on waterEnsure water flow is 4 gpm at 50 psi min.Run saw for 2 min (away from intended cut) and check tensionAdjust tension if needed
Plan your cutsOutline the area to be cut with a markerKnow the material you are cuttingBase horizontal cut first then cut counterclock wise

Wall Walker
Position pivot pin in upper hole (A) - “Parked” positionPosition pivot pin in lower hole (B) - “Autofeed” position.
Wall Walker (cont.)
Begin cutting until cut is large enough to allow tip of wedge to insert into the cut.After the saw cuts approx. 1 – 2.5” withdraw the saw only enough to allow the lever arm and wedge to reposition.

Types of Cuts
Down cutPlunge cutUp cutDo not use cutting force in excess of 45 lbsMaintain high chain speed when cuttingAvoid heavy plunge cutsDo not cut loose rebar!!
Cold Weather Operation
If used in cold weather you must preheat the hydraulic oil at low engine speedOil temp should be at or above 50 deg F before use
