2.2 Operating Principle
The following instructions were compiled to provide you information on how to obtain
long and trouble free use of the machine. Periodic maintenance of the machine is essen-
tial. Read the manual carefully and thoroughly familiarize yourself with the machine and
all it’s functions. Failure to do so may injure yourself or someone else.
2.3 Delivery Checks
Upon receiving new machine and before putting it into service.
-Read the operation manual completely- it could save a great deal of unnecessary
headaches.
-Read the engine manual supplied.
-Check the general condition of the machine – has it been damaged during delivery?
-Check engine oil level.
-Check fuel level.
Recommended lubricants are detailed in the Care and Maintenance section.
2.4 Installing Blade
-Be certain that the spark plug is disconnected and the saw is unplugged.
-Remove the blade shaft nut, and take off the outside blade shaft flange.
-Clean off any foreign particles on the clamping surfaces of flanges and on the mounting
surface of the blade.
-Place the blade on the blade shaft, lining up the offset drive pin in the blade with the
drive pin in the mounting collar (if the pin system is available on the machine). If your
blade has a directional rotational arrow, position arrow for down cut (diamond tail trail-
ing for down cut).
-Replace the outside blade shaft flange on the blade shaft. The drive pin on the inside
collar must project through the drive hole in the blade and into the outside collar (if the
pin system is available on the machine).
-Tighten the blade shaft nut securely against the star washer and the outside flange,
using the wrench supplied.
-Reconnect the spark plug or (with switch “off”) plug in the electric supply cord.
