starting 

the band drive motor.

• 

Placing  the  selector  to  "MANUAL"  will  stop  all 

machine  functions  at  the  head  forward  position 

following the completion of each cut.

• 

Placing the selector in "AUTO" permits a full cycle 

mode following the completion of cuts; 

(a)

 The saw
