5.For Saws With Electric Motors:
Connect motor to a properly grounded outlet. Motor may be operated on 115 or 230 volts. Set switch on motor capacitor housing to match desired voltage. Plug on motor cord must also be changed to match correct voltage.
WARNING:
Always make sure that motor is connected to a properly grounded outlet. Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury or death. Do not operate motor on low voltage. It may cause power loss, overheating, or burn out motor windings. Check voltage at motor while operating. Comply with all local electrical codes. If you are unsure, check with an electrician.
Proper voltage is critical for proper motor performance. Extension cords which are too long and/or too small of a gauge will prevent motor from receiving full voltage. Follow extension cord recommendations below:

Turn switch to “ON” position to start electric motor. If motor overheats, the manual reset thermal overload will trip. Turn motor off, wait
For saws with gas engines:
Check engine oil level before starting. Start engine and allow it to warm up according to engine manual instructions. After engine warms up, all sawing is done at full throttle.
To cut material, either:
a)Pull cutting head down by handle to desired cutting depth. It is best to use the entire diamond segment height to cut. Tighten handle on depth lock to keep cutting head at set height.
CAUTION:
Take care not to saw conveyor cart in half. Cutting head pivot range allows operator to “use up” an abrasive blade, but allows the risk of cutting
conveyor cart.
CAUTION:
Do not allow material being cut to rub against blade flanges. This will damage them and they will need to replaced.
