MAINTENANCE
SYSTEM CLEAN-UP
• After cutting, run the saw for at least 15 seconds with the water on to flush slurry and debris from
diamond chain, guide bar and drive sprocket.
• Wash concrete slurry from saw assembly.
• Avoid getting any water in the carburetor or exhaust system. If water enters exhaust port, point
the guide bar tip down and pull the starter handle several times to expel water from muffler.
• Remove guide bar and diamond chain. Flush out the chain tensioner with high water pressure
and lube with grease.
• After cleaning the saw, spray the entire saw body, diamond chain, guide bar, and drive sprocket
with lightweight oil. Using lightweight oil on the saw will minimize rust and help reduce slurry
build up.
