Glow, the glow light goes out in about 5
seconds. Turn the key to Start and immediately
release the key when the engine starts. Note: If
the engine does not catch or start at 10
seconds after key is turned to Start, wait for
another 30 seconds and then begin again. DO
NOT allow the starter motor to run continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Refer to the engine
manual if the engine does not start after two
attempts.
3. Increase the engine to half throttle and let the
engine warm up without load.
4. Increase the engine to full throttle. Adjust the
throttle as necessary when cutting for maximum
efficiency. DO NOT exceed the maximum
recommended blade RPM when operating the
saw. (Refer to the Blade Speed section in this
manual for correct RPM.)
Stopping the Engine
CAUTION
 DO NOT leave the saw unattended until
the engine is off and the blade has
stopped spinning.
5. Place the speed control lever at Neutral.
6. Raise the blade from the cut .
7. Turn off the water pump switch if in use.
8. Turn off the water safety switch.
9. Turn off the water valve.
10. Decrease the engine speed to idle for several
minutes. For turbocharged engines, idle the
engine for approximately 5 minutes.
11. Turn the key to Stop and remove the key.
Concrete Cutting
WARNING
 DO NOT expose yourself or
anyone else to the direct line of
the blade when operating the
saw.
Helpful Hints Prior to Cutting
Keep the following things in mind for greater
efficiency when 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.
 Avoid sawing excessively deep to preserve the
blade and reduce sawing costs.
 Moving too quickly when cutting may stall the
saw, or may cause the blade to climb out from
the cut. If the saw stalls at any time, move the
speed control lever to Neutral and raise the
blade from the cut to restart the engine.
 DO NOT lower the blade too quickly or move
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 front pointer with the blade.
 Clearly mark the cutting line.
 The work area should not contain buried or
embedded electrical, gas, or water lines.
 Turn off all electricity, gas, and water in and
around the work area prior to cutting.
Making a Cut
1. Turn on the water valve.
2. Turn on the water safety switch feature, if
available. Check the water pressure if the
engine stops.
3. Turn on the water pump switch if necessary.
4. Align the blade and pointers with the cutting
line.
5. Lower the blade to touch the cutting surface.
6. Move the cutting depth indicator to zero.

7. Plunge the blade into the concrete until the
indicator displays the desired cutting depth. To
maintain a particular depth when cutting, turn
