Mechanism lock lever
The lock lever (item 27 - page 9) is located on the rear left side of the mechanism.
When engaged, it locks the system (item 35 – page
9)in either the full forward or the full back position and prevents movement while transporting the saw. When held in the full back position, the saw is more compact for lifting and storage. The full back position is often used while performing chop cuts.
To Engage the lock lever
With Saw in the full Back position –
1.Grasp the saw’s main handle (item 3 - page 8) and push (slide) the head assembly back as far as it goes. The upper housings will be upright and closed.
2.Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage its wedge into the joint area between the two lower housings. Release the lock lever tab and the main handle. The head assembly will be locked in the full back position.
