• The saw should be rigid on the pipe, with no “wig-
gle” if you try to move it back and forth.
3.
Verify that the controls are functioning correctly
before each use:
• Attach the hydraulic hoses as described.
• Turn on flow from the HPU.
• Set the ON/OFF knob to the ON position (clock-
wise) to make sure the wire starts. Set the ON/OFF
knob to the OFF position to make sure the wire stops
completely.
• Make sure the wire travels in the correct direction.
See the direction label inside the front cover. The
wire travels clockwise when viewing the saw from
the front.
4.
Check the diamond wire and make sure it is installed
in the right direction.
Note on Disabling Power and Loss of Power
Disconnecting the hydraulic hoses from the fittings on
the machine is the only way to completely isolate power
from the DW 208. Always disconnect the hoses when
performing service or adjustments, or when the machine
is not in an operating situation.
If power to the DW 208 fails during operation (for instance,
if the HPU stops unexpectedly), always move the ON/OFF
lever to the OFF (counter-clockwise) position immediately.
Make sure the lever is in the OFF position while trouble-
shooting the power failure. Disconnecting the hydraulic
hoses is recommended.
