Mechanism lock lever
The lock lever (item 27 - page 9) is located on the
rear left side of the mechanism.
When engaged, it locks the system (item 35 – page
9) in either the full forward or the full back position
and prevents movement while transporting the saw.
When held in the full back position, the saw is more
compact for lifting and storage. The full back position
is often used while performing chop cuts.
To Engage the lock lever
With Saw in the full Back position –
1. Grasp the saw's main handle (item 3 - page 8)
and push (slide) the head assembly back as far as
it goes. The upper housings will be upright and
closed.
2. Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage its wedge
into the joint area between the two lower
housings. Release the lock lever tab and the main
handle. The head assembly will be locked in the
full back position.
