8. Saw only as deep as the specifications and job conditions require. This will save blade
life and reduce sawing costs. Sawing excessively deep should be avoided. Step cut in
increments of two inches for best results.
To Start Saw Engine
1. Fill the fuel tank and check the engine oil level. Refer to the engine manual for details
2. Start engine. Follow procedure in engine manual
3. Let engine warm up at half throttle.
4. AII sawing is done at full throttle. Governor is factory set for correct engine speed.
To Maneuver Saw
Raise blade as high as possible so blade will not strike pavement when maneuvering by using
the height adjustment crank. The locking tab can be used to hold the crank from vibrating down.
To Start Sawing
Follow all the instructions outlined above.
Align blade with cut. For wet sawing open water valve full open. Check water to verify full flow
then adjust for proper amount of water on blade before you lower the blade. If water supply is
interrupted stop cutting immediately.
Lower the blade into the cut (never deeper than required) by using the height adjustment crank.
The locking tab can be used to hold the crank from vibrating down.
During cutting do not exert excessive side pressure on handles to steer. Use only enough
pressure to follow the previously marked line.
Use proper forward speed allowing the blade to cut but not stall.
If the saw should stall for any reason raise the blade completely out of the cut before starting
engine again.
When lowering the blade into a partially-made cut use extreme care to be certain the blade is
perfectly aligned within the cut before starting to saw again. Do not force blade into material by
lowering the blade too fast or by pushing too fast while sawing.
