Product Overview
The Tomahawk Power TFS10H is a 10" early entry green concrete saw designed for cutting control joints in fresh concrete slabs before random cracking can develop. Powered by a 13 HP Honda GX390 engine, this larger early-entry saw fits 9" to 10" blades and cuts from 7/8" up to 1-1/2" deep for medium to large concrete pours. With electric blade depth adjustment, electric start, hydrostatic transmission, polyurethane wheels, an enclosed blade guard, triangular arbor, and adjustable handlebar, the TFS10H is built for concrete contractors, flatwork crews, commercial finishers, municipal crews, and rental fleets working on larger slab projects.

Package Includes:
- TFS10H Concrete Saw: 10" early-entry green concrete saw for control joint cutting in fresh concrete.
- Blades: Not included. Choose a compatible 10" early-entry blade based on aggregate hardness and cutting conditions.
- Manuals & Guides: Follow Tomahawk's specification sheet, operations manual, and parts manual for setup, blade selection, depth adjustment, cutting, maintenance, and service.
Applications:
- Concrete Control Joints: Cuts early-entry contraction joints to help control random cracking in new concrete slabs.
- Green Concrete Slabs: Designed for cutting fresh concrete soon after finishing, depending on concrete mix, slab temperature, weather, and jobsite timing.
- Medium to Large Concrete Pours: Built for larger flatwork projects where a 10" saw and deeper cut capacity are needed.
- Parking Lots: Useful for control joint cutting on fresh commercial parking lot pours.
- Sidewalks: Helps cut clean joints in municipal, commercial, and residential sidewalk work.
- Driveways: Supports early-entry cuts on fresh driveway slabs to help manage stress cracking.
- Garages: Useful for residential and light commercial garage slab joint cutting.
- Patios: Helps cut control joints in patios, courtyards, and decorative flatwork.
- Residential & Commercial Applications: Built for flatwork contractors, concrete finishers, rental fleets, and professional construction crews.
- Decorative Jobsite Enhancements: Can be used for controlled joint placement on decorative concrete layouts when proper blade and timing are used.
Operation & Use Notes:
- Early Entry Timing: Early-entry saws are used after concrete finishing while the slab is still green. Actual timing depends on concrete mix, weather, slab temperature, finishing method, and jobsite conditions.
- Blade Selection: Blades are not included. Use a compatible 10" early-entry blade matched to the aggregate hardness and cutting conditions.
- Cured Concrete Note: This saw is specifically designed for early-entry green concrete. For fully cured concrete, a standard walk-behind concrete saw or floor saw may be more appropriate.
- Depth Control: Use the electric blade depth adjustment to set and maintain the desired joint depth. Do not exceed the listed 7/8"-1-1/2" cutting range.
- Fresh Concrete Surface: Polyurethane wheels help protect the surface, but the slab must be firm enough to support safe operation without damaging the finish.
- Hydrostatic Drive: Operate at a controlled pace and avoid forcing the saw through the cut. Let the blade and machine work at the correct speed for the material.
- Silica Dust Safety: Concrete cutting can create respirable crystalline silica dust. Follow OSHA silica rules and use approved dust-control methods, ventilation, and respiratory protection where required.
- Blade Safety: Inspect the blade, arbor, flanges, belts, guard, and fasteners before each use. Do not operate with damaged blades, missing guards, or loose components.
- Fuel & Oil: Add proper fuel and oil before operation. Follow Honda and Tomahawk instructions for startup, shutdown, storage, and maintenance.
- Hearing & Eye Protection: Wear hearing protection, safety glasses or face protection, gloves, boots, and appropriate clothing while cutting concrete.
- Hot Surface Safety: Keep hands, clothing, and debris away from the engine, muffler, blade guard, belt area, and hot surfaces during and after operation.
- Outdoor & Ventilation Safety: Gas-powered equipment must be operated in well-ventilated areas. Never run a gas engine indoors, in a garage, basement, enclosed building, or partially enclosed space because of carbon monoxide danger.
- Transport Safety: At 320 lb uncrated and 380 lb crated, use proper loading equipment, ramps, lift gate, forklift, or approved lifting methods when loading, unloading, and moving the saw.
