• Easy Push Drive: User-friendly design enables easy maneuvering around obstacles, perfect for confined or residential jobsites.

• Four-Position Heavy Duty Handles: Thick, ergonomic, and adjustable. These vibration-resistant handles won’t slacken or rattle, providing maximum control and operator comfort even during extended operation.

• Through Rear Axle: Added structural support and improved balance aid transport and straight-line tracking.

• Solid, Self-Aligning Blade Shaft Bearings: Sealed for protection from dust and debris, guaranteeing smooth blade action and many years of intensive use.

• Slip-On Blade Guard: Makes blade changes quick and easy—minimizing downtime and increasing jobsite safety without tools.

• Three Premium V-Belts: Triple-belt drive ensures maximum power delivery from engine to blade for fast, efficient cutting.

• Left-Right Blade Mounting: Mount the blade on either side for flush edge cutting, curb work, and awkward patch locations.

• Precision Screw Feed Blade Raise/Lower: Operators can dial in exact cutting depths for structural, utility, or scoring jobs—eliminating guesswork and minimizing material waste.

• Optional Water Tank: Enables dust control and wet cutting for compliance and improved blade life; essential for indoor or municipal projects where dust regulation is stringent.

Best Practices & Maintenance Tips

• Always use the correct blade type for material: green concrete, cured, or asphalt.

• Maintain the air filter (especially for Honda-engine models) for optimal engine performance.

• Lubricate screw feed system per manual to ensure smooth, precise depth adjustments.

• Clean machine after use; check V-belts and blade bolts for tightness weekly.

• Use water for dust control and blade life—especially in dry or silicate-rich materials.
