•
During cutting, DO NOT exert excessive side pressure
on the Handle Bars (1H) to attempt to "STEER" the
saw. Use only enough pressure to follow the previously
marked line.
•
If the saw should stall for any reason, raise the blade out
of the cut, and DISENGAGE THE SELF-PROPELLING
TRANSMISSION before restarting the engine!
•
When lowering the blade into a partially made cut, the
blade must be perfectly aligned within the cut before
starting to saw again. DO NOT FORCE the blade into
the material by lowering the blade too fast, or by
propelling the saw too fast.
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 Control
Lock (1L) 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 Key Switch
(1E) to the OFF position to STOP the engine.
•
Lower the Diamond Blade (2E) by cranking the Raise
Lower Hand Wheel (1A) CLOCKWISE until the Diamond
Blade (2E) touches the surface to be cut.
•
Set Blade Depth Indicator (1K) to "0" (zero).
•
Lower the blade into the cut by pulling up on the Depth
Control Lock (1L) and by slowly turning the Hand Wheel
(1A) assembly CLOCKWISE until the desired depth of
cut is reached. Engage the Depth Control Lock (1L) to
prevent the hand wheel from rotating.
Use of the DEPTH CONTROL LOCK (1L):
•
Lower the blade by pulling up on the Depth Control Lock
(1L) and by slowly turning the Hand Wheel assembly
(1A) CLOCKWISE until the Diamond Blade (2E) is at
the required depth [as indicated on the Blade Depth
Indicator (1K)].
•
Engage the Depth Control Lock (1L) to prevent the
hand wheel from rotating.

The saw WILL NOT lower to any depth greater
than the position set on the Depth Control
Lock (1L). Therefore, if a deeper cut is required,
the Depth Control Lock (1L) MUST be loosened,
then SET to the new depth required.
