Despite its relative compact size (for a large capacity floor saw), the FS524 is surprisingly powerful and productive. It is an easy and comfortable saw to use and operate. Not only does the FS524 have a self-propelled drive system, it also has a key operated electric start too.

Its self-propelled, self-contained differential drive system eliminates drive gear from the rear wheels and with it, related wear, making it both simple to handle and maintain. Its enhanced belt tensioning system gives constant tension without need of re-tensioning, ensuring optimal cutting performance and increased belt life.

The FS524 also has a large and robust polyurethane water tank which facilitates wet cutting. It is also equipped with a water fitting to which a hose pipe can be quickly and easily connected to. The engine and blade shaft mounting of the saw is designed to increase operator comfort and provide excellent cutting performance.

The has a patent-pending blade shaft and engine mounting system which reduces both the overall operating vibration levels and produces a better cutting performance. Its patented IntelliSeal blade shaft systems allows a minimum of 250 maintenance-free hours of operation and eliminates the need for daily greasing of the bearings too.

It features an adjustable vibration dampened handlebar which provides a closer and more comfortable working position to the cutting side for easier alignment and straighter cuts. To further aid cutting, the saw is equipped with an adjustable front pointer which projects out of the front of the machine making it simple and easy for the operator to follow the desired line of cut. Achieving the desired cutting depth is easy with the FS524 too, thanks to its innovative, clearly visible and easy to read dashboard mounted cutting depth indicator. Maintaining the desired cutting depth is easy work too thanks to the dashboard mounted cutting depth lock.

It is a strong saw with a protective frame, which also contains an integrated conveniently located central lift point further aids the portability and transportation of the saw. For added safety, the FS524 has a conveniently located and easy to operate parking brake for added safety.

The FS 524 is recommended for use with 24”/600mm diameter diamond blades, and used to cut a wide variety of materials, including reinforced concrete, concrete, asphalt over concrete, asphalt etc.
