Frequently Asked Questions - WS 482 HF HUSQVARNA

What PPE should I wear when using the WS 482 HF?
Wear a safety helmet, ear protectors, safety glasses or a face shield, a respirator mask, sturdy gloves, close-fitting clothing and steel-toe boots.
How to properly mount the blade on the saw?
First unplug the power cable. Clean the flange and blade surfaces. Check the rotation direction (the exposed diamond segment must face the rotation direction). Tighten the outer flange, blade and hub with a torque of 70-80 Nm. Insert the shaft into the saw arm and tighten with a wrench.
What power unit to use with the WS 482 HF?
This saw is designed exclusively for use with the Husqvarna PP 480 HF power unit. Any other use is prohibited.
How to adjust the cutting speed?
Use the speed selector to choose between two ranges: Gear 1 (600-900 rpm) for hard concrete, Gear 2 (800-1200 rpm) for softer concrete. Ensure the knob is fully engaged in one position to avoid damaging the gearbox.
How to maintain the saw daily?
After each use, clean the machine with the provided brush and water (no high-pressure cleaner). Check the condition of cables, connectors, blade and blade guard. Lubricate the clutch grease fittings every 30 hours with PETRO CANADA PERLESS OG2 grease or equivalent.
When to service the machine?
After 100 hours of use, a 'Time for servicing' message appears. Then have the complete equipment serviced by an authorized Husqvarna dealer (oil change, general inspection).
What blades can I use?
Use only original Husqvarna blades. Diameter from 600 mm to 1600 mm. For guide cuts, a 800 mm blade is recommended; for deep cuts, up to 1600 mm. Follow the recommended speeds according to concrete (hard, medium, soft).
How to install the saw on the rail?
First mount the wall brackets at 165 mm from the cutting line. Place the rail in the brackets and align it. Mount the saw carriage (already mounted on the rail from the factory) by lifting it until the locking handle engages in the intermediate position, then lift it completely to secure the saw.
How to perform a flush cut?
Unscrew the outer blade flange and mount the blade directly on the hub. Use the provided flush cut screws. The fixing distances are: A=110 mm (6xM10), B=89 mm (6xM8), C=144 mm. Refer to the manual for precise assembly.
What to do if cooling water is insufficient?
Check that the flow is at least 3.5 l/min and the max pressure 7 bar. The water temperature must not exceed 25°C. Use intact, non-kinked hoses. Insufficient cooling can damage the blade and shorten its lifespan.

General working instructions

HUSQVARNA WS 482 HF - General working instructions - 1

WARNING! This section describes basic safety directions for using a wall saw. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an experienced user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!

  • All operators shall be trained in the use of the machine. The owner is responsible for ensuring that the operators receive training.
  • Check that the blade guard is not damaged and that it has been fitted correctly.
  • Never use blades other than original blades designed for the machine. Check with your Husqvarna dealer to see which blades are best suited for your usage.
  • Never use a damaged or worn blade.
  • Never mount or dismount the blade or blade guard without first pulling out the power cable running to the saw unit.
  • Never pull out the power cable without first switching off the power unit and waiting for the engine to come to a complete halt.
  • Never cut without using the blade guard.
  • Check that the blade is not in contact with anything when the machine is started.
  • Remain at a distance from the blade when the engine is running.
  • Water cooling must always be used. This cools the blades and increases their life and prevents dust build-up.
  • Check that all couplings, connections and cables are intact and free from dirt.
  • Do not use hoses that are distorted, worn or damaged.
  • Clearly mark out all cuts to be made before you start sawing, plan these so they can be carried out without danger to persons or the machine.
  • Firmly secure or anchor concrete blocks before cutting. The heavy weight of cut material can cause extensive damage if it is not moved under controlled conditions.
  • Always check the back of the wall where the blade comes out when cutting through. Secure, cordon off and make sure that no people can be injured or materials damaged.

  • Always check and mark out where gas pipes are routed. Cutting close to gas pipes always entails danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused when cutting in view of the risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and focused on the task. Carelessness can result in serious personal injury or death.

  • Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in the area to be cut.
  • Check that electrical cables within the working area are not live.
  • Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor running.
  • Never saw in such a way that you cannot easily reach the emergency stop on the remote control or on the power unit. See power unit manual.
  • Make sure that there is always another person close at hand when you use the machines, so that you can call for help if an accident should occur.
  • People that need to be in close proximity of the machine must wear hearing protection as the sound level when cutting exceeds 85 dB(A).
  • Make sure that no people or animals come closer than 4 m (15 ft) when the machine is running.
  • Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
  • Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to create a safe working environment.
    Always ensure you have a safe and stable working position.
  • Observe care when lifting. You are handling heavy parts, which implies the risk of pinch injuries or other injuries.

HUSQVARNA WS 482 HF - General working instructions - 2

WARNING! Never use a blade for any other materials than that it was intended for.

Operating saw blades at rotational speeds greater than those recommended by the manufacturer can cause blade damage and possibly subsequent injury. See the Technical data section.

Basic working techniques

HUSQVARNA WS 482 HF - Basic working techniques - 1

  • Always start by cutting a pilot cut. This is done by feeding the blade 3 - 7cm (1,2^ - 2,8^ ) . Now make the pilot cut. The cut should not be made at maximum speed, but with care in order to obtain a straight cut and with that a basis for the next cut. The cutting arm allows blades up to 1000~mm (40^ ) to be used as the start blade. It is, however, recommended to start cutting with an 800~mm (31.5^ ) blade.
  • When the pilot cut is finished, a deeper cut can be made. The depth of these is determined from instance to instance and depends on factors such as hardness of the concrete, existence of reinforcing bar, etc.

When cutting in hard concrete, a lower speed or a more shallow cut is required compared to cutting in soft concrete. This enables a high travel feed speed which results in a more effective and straight cut. Max. diameter of the blade for deeper cuts is 1,600 mm (63").

  • If you change blades to cut deeper in the same cut, make sure the segment width of the blade matches the width of the groove.
  • Let the machine work without forcing or pressing the blade.
  • Firmly secure or anchor concrete blocks before cutting. The heavy weight of cut material can cause extensive damage if it is not moved under controlled conditions.

Cutting of blocks

  • First make the lower horizontal cut. Now make the upper horizontal cut. Finish with the two vertical cuts.

HUSQVARNA WS 482 HF - Cutting of blocks - 1

  • If the upper horizontal cut is made before the lower horizontal cut, the work piece will fall on the blade and jam it.
  • When making the last cut, the saw should be mounted on an adjacent fixed wall.
  • As the rail is symmetrical, the saw unit can be turned to make a new cut on the other side of the rail. In this way a cut piece is obtained that is in an easily handled size, making it easier to remove from the workplace.
  • Since the blade rotation direction can be selected, the water spray from the blade can also be selected regardless of how the saw is turned on the rail.

General

  • The powerful, water-cooled electric motor produces an impressive 19kW to the spindle, even though the saw weighs just 27kg (59.5 lbs).
  • The spindle speed is electrically adjustable and can be operated from the power unit's remote control.
  • Short distance between blade and track, for a straighter cut.
  • Slip clutch for all movable components.
  • The blade direction and the direction of the water spray can be operated from the power unit's remote control.
  • The spindle speed is controlled with a mechanical gear on the cutting arm of the saw unit, and electrically with a potentiometer on the remote control.
  • Equipped with automatic blade brake that stops the blade within a few seconds.

Complete saw equipment consists of:

One saw
- One track 1.2 m + saw carriage
One track 2m+ saw carriage
Four wall mountings
- One track holder
One connector
One blade guard 800 or one blade guard 1000
One blade guard guide
One tool kit
One bottle of Husqvarna oil 150
- Transport cases for the different units.
- Cleaning brush
- Screws for flush cutting.

The saw carriage is mounted on both the long and short rails at the factory to make cutting as easy as possible.

As a large part of the sawing work consists transporting, the saw equipment is supplied in specially produced cases. The cases provide good protection during transport and reduced the number of packages that need to be moved between the workplaces, which makes the work more effective.

Mount wall mountings and rail

Fit the wall mounting as set out below:

1 Mark off the cutting line and mark off the expander bolts holes 165mm (6.5") from the cutting line.

HUSQVARNA WS 482 HF - Mount wall mountings and rail - 1

2 Drill 15mm (5 / 8^ ) holes for the M12 (1 / 2^ ) expander bolts.
3 Hang the wall mountings loosely from the expander bolts, using M6S 12 × 70 (1/2"x2") or similar.
4 Place the rail in the wall mountings and tighten the compression washers.

For vertical cuts, the rail must be mounted with the saw carriage lock handle upwards. This to facilitate fitting the saw unit.

5 Check that the rail is properly aligned with the tracks on the wall mounts before tightening the screws.
6 Adjust the distance between the cutting line and the wall mounting. The distance between the edge and the inner face of the saw cut should be 89mm (3.5"). Tighten the expander bolts.

NOTICE! Make sure the gear knob is positioned as shown in the image. If the knob is between gears, it can cause damage to the gearbox.

Adjusting the guide wheels

In order for the saw to run stably and saw a straight cut, the four guide wheels must rest against the rail and not have too much play.

Check the guide wheels before each cut. When there is too much play between the saw carriage and rail the guide wheels must be adjusted:

  • Start by loosening the marked nuts (1) with the supplied special tool.

HUSQVARNA WS 482 HF - Adjusting the guide wheels - 1

Now loosen the two stop screws (2).
- Adjust the guide wheels with the M10 nut (3) located on the rear side of the guide wheel until the play disappears. Turn the nuts outwards for each other.
- Hold the guide wheels and screw in the stop screw.
- Now tighten the nuts to secure the guide wheels in the new position.

Adjust the saw carriage

As the saw wears, after a number of hours working, it can be a good idea to ensure that the saw sits firmly in the saw carriage and rail. If not, the handle probably needs adjusting:

  • Loosen the marked (1) socket headed screw (one on each side of the handle).

HUSQVARNA WS 482 HF - Adjust the saw carriage - 1

  • Turn the eccentric axles (2) with the help of the supplied special tool until the axle lies tight and parallel against the saw.
    Now tighten the socket headed screw.

  • The cutting arm contains 3 dl of Husqvarna Oil 150, a transmission oil of the type EP 150. The oil should be replaced for the first time in connection with the first service. A 3 dl bottle of oil is supplied when the machine is new.

IMPORTANT! Used engine oil and transmission oil is hazardous to health and must not be disposed of in the ground or out of doors.

Lubrication of feeder gears

IMPORTANT! If the gears are not lubricated regularly, their lifespan will shorten considerably.

  • There are two grease nipples on every saw unit. Through these the gears for the feeding engines can be lubricated. Lubricate daily or at least every 30 hours of operation. Use PETRO CANADA PERLESS OG2 or corresponding grease.
