6 STARTING THE SAW

(See Fig. 1, 2 and 3)
Always pay extreme care and attention to the prepa-
ration of the machine before starting.
Remove all wrenches and tools from the floor and
the machine.
Always keep blade guard and transmission guard
in place.
•
Follow the operating instructions and warn-
ings on top of the saw cowl.
•
Close the Water Valve (3A).
•
Mark the surface to be cut by drawing a line where the cut
is to be made.
•
Pull out Handle Bars (1B) to desired length and tighten
Knobs (1A).
•
Lower the Front Guide (3C). Align the Front Guide (3C),
Rear Guide (3D) and Diamond Blade (2E) with the line on
the surface.
•
To start the saw when no water pressure is pres-
ent push the reset button on the Water Safety
Switch (1O).
•
Set Speed Control Lever (1S) to the Neutral (1V )
position. Saw will not start unless the Speed Control Lever
(1S) is in the Neutral (1V) position.
•
Start the engine using the Engine Start Switch (1I). Follow
the procedure in the engine manual.
•
Let the engine warm up for several minutes with the En-
gine Throttle (1P) set at idle.
•
When ready, open the Water Valve (3A).
Test for adequate water supply [2-1/2 to
5 gal/min (10 to 20 lit./min)]. Low water flow will
cause damage to diamond blades.
See chart (Page 17) for the appropriate blade shaft and engine
speeds for specific blade sizes.
•
Shift the Speed Control Lever (1S) into gear.
•
Move the saw forward or reverse slowly by pushing
or pulling on the Speed Control Lever (1S). Move
the saw slowly to prevent stalling the blade. Make
sure the Front Guide (3C), Rear Guide (3D) and the
Diamond Blade (2E) stay on the line.
•
Lower the saw by pressing the bottom side of the
Red Button (1R) on the Speed Control Lever (1S)
downward until the Diamond Blade (2E) is at the
desired cutting depth (See "Blade Cutting Depth
Information—Below).
Blade Cutting Depth Information:
This saw is equipped with a Blade Depth Indicator (1K)
which indicates the depth at which the Diamond Blade
(2E) is cutting. This saw also includes a Blade Depth
Stop (1J) which stops the cutting depth of the blade at a
specified depth.
Use of the Blade Depth Indicator (1K):
•
If the engine is running - Turn the Engine Start Switch (1I)
to the OFF position to STOP the engine.
•
Turn the Engine Start Switch (1I) to the ON position.
•
Lower the Diamond Blade (2E) by pushing the Red But-
ton (1R) on the Control Lever (1S) downward until the
Diamond Blade (2E) touches the surface to be cut.
•
Rotate the Blade Depth Indicator Knob (1K) to the zero
position. The blade cutting depth will now be indicated
on the Depth Indicator (1K) when the blade is lowered
into the cutting surface.
Use of the Blade Depth Stop (1J):
•
Lower the blade by pushing the Red Button (1R) on
the Speed Control Lever (1S) downward until the
Diamond Blade (2E) is at the required depth [as
indicated on the Blade Depth Indicator (1K)].
•
Set the Blade Depth Stop (1J) by turning the knob
clockwise until tight. Now the maximum cutting depth
is set. If the saw is raised out of the cut surface for any
reason it can now be lowered to this specified depth by
lowering the blade into the cutting surface with the Red
Button (1R) on the Control Lever (1S).
The saw WILL NOT lower to any depth greater than the position
set on the BLADE DEPTH STOP (1J). Therefore, if a deeper cut is
required, the Depth Stop K nob MUST be
l o o s e n e d , t h e n S E T t o t h e n e w d e p t h
required.
