WARNING
Do not leave the saw unattended while the engine
is running! Always secure the saw from movement
while unattended.
Periodically, clean any excess concrete from inside the blade
block, scrapers and blade block cover. Always clean the blade
block assembly thoroughly before storing the saw.
WARNING
Before each use, carefully inspect the
5000
for any
damage to any of its parts and components. Pay
careful attention to any leakage of gasoline or oil.
Under no circumstance should the
5000
or any of
its attachments be operated if you find damage or
are suspicious that something appears to be dam-
aged.
cont...
Increase the forward speed if the saw is pulling left. Decrease
the forward speed if the saw is pulling right.
Do not force the
saw
. When approaching a wall, raise the front guide and use
the triangle guide at the back of the blade block to cut the last
few feet.
Do not hit the blade block assembly against any object.
Damage may result. Slow the forward speed by pulling back
the forward speed lever (G) until the saw stops. Press the
blade rocker switch (N) to raise the saw out of the cut to full
“UP” position.
The self propel function of the saw will not operate with the unit
in a raised position. Press the engine speed rocker switch (I)
to lower the engine speed. Turn the engine kill switch to the
“OFF” or “0” position. Lower the saw to the down position.
NOTE:
Do not walk on the joints or transport equipment across
the joints until the concrete fully hardens.
DIGITAL DISPLAY (J)
The digital display in the center of the instrument panel indi-
cates the travel speed of the saw and the total distance cut
by the saw. Push the left arrow button until the display shows
“R” on the left of the display. The unit is set to show the travel
speed of the saw in feet/minute in the US and meters/minute
outside the US. Pressing the left arrow button again changes
the display to the total distance cut by the saw. The R button
on the right resets the cut distance to zero.
HOUR METER/TACHOMETER GAUGE (F)
The hour meter and tachometer are incorporated in the same
gauge. With the engine running, the tachometer is operating.
The gauge reads the total saw hours when the engine is not
running.
OIL ALERT LIGHT (K)
The oil alert light indicates a drop in engine oil pressure. If the
light illuminates, immediately turn the engine off. Do not use
the engine if the oil alert is lit or engine damage may occur.
