STOW CUTTER 1 CE SAW — OPERATION

OPERATION

WARNING

ALWAYS cut with the saw at FULLTHROTTLE. Attempting to cut with the saw at less than full throttle could cause the blade to bind or stop abruptly in the slab resulting in serious injury to the operator or others in the area.

WARNING

CAUTION

Ensure the cutting area is clear of tools, debris, and unauthorized people.

CAUTION

DO NOT try to cut faster than the blade will allow. Cutting too fast will cause the blade to rise up out of the cut. Improper cutting rate can decrease the life of the engine and blades.

The Engine Stop Switch located on the handlebar (Figure 18) serves both as

NOTE an Emergency Engine Shut-Off and as the primary ON/OFF switch. This allows the operator to shutdown the saw safely away from moving parts.
