▼ MECHANISM LOCK LEVER
The lock lever (item 27 - page 12) is located
on the rear left side of the mechanism.
When engaged, it locks the system (item 35 –
page 12) in either the full forward or the full
back position and prevents movement while
transporting the saw. When held in the full
back position, the saw is more compact for
lifting and storage. The full back position is
often used while performing chop cuts.
▼ TO ENGAGE THE LOCK LEVER
With Saw in the Full Back Position –
1.
Grasp the saw’s main handle (item 3 - page
11) and push (slide) the head assembly
back as far as it goes. The upper housings
will be upright and closed.
2.
Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage its
wedge into the joint area between the two
lower housings. Release the lock lever tab
and the main handle. The head assembly
will be locked in the full back position.
