Transport position and drive
Transport position of the circular saw aggregated with SaMASZ extension arm corresponds to
the arm's transport position. See
In case of mounting the circular saw on other type of extension arm, put the circular saw
aggregated with the arm in the compact most position. Moreover, the circular saw should be positioned
so that its circular bla
de’s flat surface is perpendicular to the driving direction.

Circular saw on extension arm transport position
❑
Use any transport protective means as provided for controlling and design of the extension arm to
transport the aggregation of the arm and the saw.
❑
For transport dismount PTO shaft and protect circular blades against accidental exposure to contact
with any third party.
❑
Bear in mind the proper marking and lighting of the tractor-circular saw aggregate as a low-speed
vehicle to comply with road traffic provisions.
❑
Driving speed should always be adjusted to current road conditions.
❑
Transport speed on public roads cannot exceed the mean speed of 25 km/h.

Preparing circular saw for operation
Prior to operating the circular saw perform the following:
❑
Thoroughly examine the circular saw, whether it is in operating condition and has no plays and
damages. Pay particular attention to condition of bolt connections and circular blades.
❑
Take off any locks and safety devices mounted on the arm-saw aggregate,
❑
Connect PTO shaft to the tractor.
❑
Upon making sure there is no unauthorized personnel around, start the circular saw with no load
and reach the max. rpm for the circular saw, and then shut down and inspect for oil leaks.
❑
If the circular saw's condition and its idle operation raise no doubts, start cutting with the circular
saw.
WARNING!
When cutting, the circular saw should be set so that the cutting plane is always
parallel to the tractor's driving direction and, if possible, perpendicular to the
road surface (
).
