Water safety system
Water is used to prevent overheating the blade while
controlling the dust that results from sawing. The water safety
system monitors the water pressure to the machine and
interrupts the sawing process if the pressure drops.
•
Set the Forward/Reverse control lever to the Stop/Neutral
position. The engine will not start unless the lever is in the
distinct Stop/Neutral position.
•
Start the engine.
•
Let the engine warm up for several minutes with Engine

WARNING! Never use a blade with a lower
!
speed rating than that of the machine. Make
sure the blade is properly installed.
NOTICE! See chart fot the appropriate blade shaft and
engine speeds for specific blade sizes.

STARTING AND STOPPING
•
Shift the Forward/Reverse control lever into gear.
•
Set the Engine throttle knob to maximum rpm.
•
Lower the blade by pressing the Raise/Lower switch on
the Forward/Reverse control lever until the blade is at the
desired cutting depth. For more information see section
"Blade cutting depth".
CAUTION! When lowering the blade into a partial cut, align
the blade exactly with the cut to prevent damage to the
blade.
•
Move the saw forward slowly by pushing on the Forward/
Reverse control lever. Listen to the sound of the engine. If
the engine starts to slow down compensate by pulling
Forward/Reverse control lever backwards to decrease
feeding and prevent stalling the blade. Make sure the front
guide, rear guide and diamond blade stays on the line.
