6. Decrease the throttle to MIN
7. Increase the throttle to MAX and adjust as
necessary when cutting for maximum efficiency.
DO NOT exceed the blade’s maximum speed
when operating the saw.
. Gradually open
the choke while the engine warms up.
Stopping the Engine
CAUTION
• DO NOT leave the saw unattended until
the engine is off and the blade has
stopped spinning.
1. Decrease the throttle to MIN
2. Turn off the engine switch.
for several
minutes.
Concrete Cutting
WARNING
• DO NOT expose yourself or
anyone else to the direct line
of the blade when cutting.
• Turn off all electricity, gas, and
water around the work area prior to
cutting.
Helpful Hints Prior to Drilling
Keep the following things in mind for greater
efficiency while cutting:
• Use just enough handle pressure to guide the
saw on the cutting line. DO NOT forcibly direct
(twist) the saw from side-to-side when cutting.
• Moving too quickly when cutting may stall the
saw, or may cause the blade to climb out from
the cut. If the saw stalls, raise the blade from
the cut and restart the engine.
• DO NOT lower the blade too quickly or push the
saw forward too quickly when finishing a partial-
cut to avoid forcing the blade into the concrete.
Tasks Prior to Cutting
Complete the following tasks prior to cutting:
• Raise the blade to provide proper clearance
between the blade and the ground when
maneuvering the saw.
• Align the pointer assembly with the blade.
• Clearly mark the cutting line.
• Be sure the work area does not contain any
buried or embedded electrical, gas, or water
lines.
Making a Cut
1. Align the blade and pointer wheel with the
cutting line.
2. Lower the skip plate.
3. Lower the blade into the concrete slowly.
4. Push the saw forward, at a proper speed, to
continue down the cutting line. Cut as fast as
the blade allows for maximum efficiency. DO
NOT exceed the maximum recommended
cutting speed. If the blade climbs out of the cut
reduce the forward speed. Note: Always be
aware of the cutting line, as concrete debris
may make it harder to see
Continuing a Partial-Cut
.
1. Align the blade with the previous cut.
2. Lower the skip plate, and then lower the blade
back into the cut. DO NOT move forward unless
the blade is properly aligned within the cut.
3. Push the saw forward, at a proper speed, to
continue down the cutting line. Cut as fast as
the blade allows for maximum efficiency. DO
NOT exceed the maximum recommended
cutting speed.
Finishing a Cut
1. Stop the saw.
2. Raise the blade from the cut.
3. Raise the skip plate.
