Water Safety Switch
The water safety switch (optional item) turns the
engine off when the system detects insufficient
water pressure. Turn on the switch just before
cutting to activate the safety feature. Note: This
feature does not detect clogged water hoses.
Check the hoses regularly and clean as necessary.
Water Pump
The water pump (optional item) pumps water from
the water source hose to the saw blade.
1. Turn on the water pump switch to start the
pump. DO NOT start the water pump until just
before cutting. DO NOT leave the water pump
on when the cutting task is complete to avoid
draining the battery.
2. Turn off the water pump switch to stop the
pump.
Control Grip
Two control grip pushbuttons raise and lower the
saw. Note: The saw can be raised and lowered with
the engine off.
Figure 21: Control Grip
Raising the Saw
Press the control grip’s left pushbutton to raise the
saw and release to stop. Note: Raise the blade
when maneuvering the saw to provide proper
clearance between the blade and the ground.
Lowering the Saw
Press the control grip’s right pushbutton to lower
the saw and release to stop.
Lowering Speed
 Option 1: The lowering speed metering valve
(optional item) changes the saw’s lowering
speed. Turn the valve counterclockwise to
increase the lowering speed and clockwise to
decrease the lowering speed.
 Option 2: Turn the engine off, remove the
hydraulic pump cover plate, and adjust the flow
control valve on the hydraulic pump to change
the saw’s lowering speed. (See Figure 22)

Speed Control Lever
The speed control lever places the saw in neutral

engine must be running and the transmission must
be engaged to move the saw using the speed
control lever, which should be in Neutral when
starting the engine. Press the emergency stop
button to immediately stop the engine as
necessary.
