Never operate saw with nose guard up.
Never stand directly in front or in back of blade, either in or out of the cut.
Never operate the saw without the blade guard and blade guard retaining pin in proper position.
Use the Pointers as a guide.
Never exert side press or twist the blade in the cut. Damage to the blade will occur.
If the saw begins to stall, retard the forward movement until full rpm is restored to the blade. If the saw stalls, raise the blade out of the cut before restarting.
Additional Guide Lines for Sawing:
•Understand and follow all of the instruction in this owner’s manual.
•If wet cutting, turn on the water supply so that there is a 5 to 8 gallons per minute of water flow!!
•In critically hard aggregate more than a single pass may be needed to cut the desired depth.
•Only move the Engage/Disengage Lever while the transmission speed control is in the neutral position.
•Move the transmission speed control slowly.
