OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Set saw frame on a sturdy, level surface. If using standard legs, insert them in square tubes under saw frame. Tighten wing screws before allowing frame’s weight to rest on legs. This will prevent the saw frame from wobbling on the legs, possibly cocking them in different directions, which will impair saw stability. If using the optional folding stand, make sure that it is placed on level ground so that saw will not tilt or fall over. If folding stand has optional wheel kit, make sure that brakes on front wheels are engaged before placing frame on stand or beginning to saw.
WARNING:
Be certain that saw frame will not tilt or fall over before placing cutting head on
frame or operating saw. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury.
2.Place cutting head on saw frame, lining up recesses in pivot shaft with slots in frame arms. Make sure flats on pivot shaft are facing upward. Slide
3.To cut wet:
Electric motor - Fill water tub within one inch of top. Place pump in water tub so that intake is fully submerged at all times. Plug pump into receptacle in motor capacitor box. Pump will run whenever motor is switched on. Do not allow pump to run dry to avoid damaging it. Open water valve fully on blade guard, and check water flow before cutting. Water should flow at 2 - 5 GPM (gallons per minute) to adequately cool wet cutting blades.
