PORTABLE POWER SOURCES AS LOW VOLTAGE CAN
DAMAGE THE MOTOR.

KHS100 / KHS500 / KHS503 BLADE AWARENESS
Note: New blades must be properly conditioned to
assure long life and clean cuts. For the rst ten cuts,
feed the blade slowly through a medium size hose.
this will properly break in and condition the blade for
long life.
Note: The hose should begin to bend before contacting
the blade. This will increase blade life and keep the
hose from tearing and deforming.
Note: Once the blade and motor reach full RPM apply
steady downward pressure on the handle in order to force
the hose into the blade. Do not apply enough force to stall
the blade, and ease up on the pressure before the blade
completes the cut. This will keep from separating the wires
as the blade exits the hose.
Note: The edges of the blade may appear to be dull.
This does not mean that the blade is not eective.
As long as the blade is still giving clean cuts, do not
replace the blade.
NOTE: PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DIRECTION OF
ROTATION MARKED ON THE SERRATED BLADE.
IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF MOST BLADES OF THIS TYPE.
CAUTION: Cracks can cause extremely damage to the
blade, periodically examine the blade for cracks and / or
broken teeth.

KHS100 / KHS500 / KHS503 HOSE BENDING PINS SET UP
Hose Bending Pins Set UP
All the KHS100 / KHS500 / KHS503 series hose saws have a
“Hose Bending Pins Position” decal placed on top of the hose
saw.
Step 1
Position the hose bending pins according to the hose size.
For example for a 1/2 inch hose, position the pins in the hole
closest to the blade.
Note: Pins MUST be positioned in the holes in the saw table
such that the hose opens slightly during the cut. Spread the pins
further apart for larger hoses.
Step 2
Turn on the hose saw, apply steady downward pressure on the
handle in order to force the hose into the blade.
As you making a cut, the hose bending pins will allow the hose
to bend as shown in the picture, this will minimize the friction
during the cut.
Step 3
For a (larger) 2 inch hose, position the pins further out as
shown in the picture.
