9.Be sure that the engine is running at full throttle!!! Check Engine Speed on the Tachometer to that listed on the Blade Speed Chart shown below. See Section B. Engine subsection 6. Engine Speed (page 16 to 17) for more details on changing the engine speed

10.Slowly lower the blade by moving the Raise/Lower Switch forward. For more details on controlling the lowering speed see section Hydraulic System (page xx). Do not force the blade in to the cut!! Step Cutting provides the best performance (fastest cut and longest blade life) for additional information see section E. Cutting Techniques (page 22). Never saw deeper than 4” per pass as deeper passes will shorten the blade life and places higher stresses on the saw. Never twist, rotate, or bend the blade while in the cut. Do not attempt to cut in a circle or arc as the blade may be damaged.
