FS 1 CONCRETE SAW— INITIAL START-UP

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to operate the saw until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections have been read and understood. Depending on engine manufacturer, operating steps may vary. See engine manufactures

operating manual. The following start-up procedure makes reference to a HONDA engine.

1.Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and that it raised above the surface you about to saw.

2.Connect to water source (as applicable) see item 7 on page

48 (Water System Assembly), and test for adequate flood water [ 4 to 5 gallons per minute (15 to 19 LT/min)], and/or misting water [steady geometric aerosol spray at 40 psi].

3.Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 17) to the "ON" position.

Figure 17. Fuel Valve Lever

4.Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 18) in the "ON" position.

The CLOSED position of the

choke lever enriches the fuel

NOTEmixture for starting a COLD engine. The OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for normal operation after starting, and for restarting a warm engine.

5. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 19) in the "OPEN" position

Figure 19. Choke Lever

CAUTION:

The engine governor speed has been set at the factory. Changing the governor speed could damage the blade and/or the saw.

6.Place the throttle lever (Figure 20) halfway between fast and slow for starting. All sawing is done at full throttle. The

engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum blade operating speeds.
