idle for several minutes to dissipate the heat. This will prevent some engine parts (ignition system, carburetor, etc.) from being damaged by overheating.

2.IMPORTANT: The Saw Blade (23F) will not rotate when the Engine idles.

(See Figure A.)

3.When the Cut Off Saw is ready to operate, gently pull the Throttle Trigger (10D) backward to accelerate the Engine. Once the Engine accelerates, the Saw Blade will begin to rotate and speed up. When the blade speed is up and stable, you can begin to move the Saw slowly toward the object to be cut.

4.While holding the Cut Off Saw firmly, approach the object to be cut with the Saw Blade and increase pressure on the Cut Off Saw slowly until the Saw Blade is at the desired depth of cut. Move forward along a straight line to complete the cut.

5.To stop or halt the cut (when a cut is completed, or the engine runs out of fuel dur- ing the cut, or an abnormal sound is heard), first lift the Saw Blade (23F) out of the cut. Then, release the Throttle Trigger (10D). Wait until the Engine slows down to idle speed and the Saw Blade stops rotating. Then, turn off the Saw.

(See Figure A.)

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING

1. WARNING! Always make sure the Cut Off Saw is in the “OFF” position prior to performing any service, maintenance, or cleaning of the Saw or the Engine.

2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Cut Off Saw. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken Saw Blade, loose connections, and any other condition that may affect the safe operation of the Cut Off Saw. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Do not use damaged equipment.

3. To adjust the V-Belt (3F) tension:

a. Loosen and remove the Screws (1F) on the Transmission Box Cover (2F). Then, remove the Transmission Box Cover. (See Figure C, next page.)

b. Loosen the three Hex Bolts (11F) on the Bearing Plate (12F).

(See Figure C.)

c. Turn the Tensioning Nut (35F) clockwise to increase tension on the V-Belt (3F). Turn the Tensioning Nut counterclockwise to decrease tension on the V-Belt (or turn the Bolt (14F) clockwise or counterclockwise). (See Figure C.)

d. Tighten the three Hex Bolts (11F) on the Bearing Plate (12F).

(See Figure C.)
