COMPLETELY STOPPED ROTATING before performing any of the the following operations:

■REMOVING or INSTALLING blades

■ADJUSTING front or rear pointers

Saw Blade Removal and Installation

Saw blade removal and installation is covered on pages 21.

Front Pointer Adjustment

The front pointer and rear guide have been set at the factory. Use these procedures only if the pointer or guide are suspect of being out of alignment.

1.Chalk out a straight line on the prepared slab or cutting surface.

2.Use a 4 foot straight-edge or level by placing it flat against the blade.

3.Adjust the front pointer so it just touches the side of the straight-edge or level.

4.Remove the straight-edge or level.

5.Position the front pointer and blade directly over the chalk line.

6.Start the saw and lower the blade onto the chalk line.

7.Begin cutting and make sure the blade follows the chalk line as closely as possible.

8.The pointer should follow the chalk line as well. If it does not, adjust the pointer by loosening then tightening the jam nuts on the pointer until the pointer follows the same path as the blade.

Rear Guide Adjustment

The rear guide is useful on long runs that allow the operator to follow the line with less effort as well as cutting up to a wall where the front pointer is lifted.

1.Chalk out a straight line on the prepared slab or cutting surface.

2.Cut a straight line about 10 - 12 feet (3 - 4 meters) in length.

3.Adjust the rear guide until it falls into the cut.

4.The rear guide should ride in the cut freely without the feel of it pushing the front pointer or blade off line. If it feels like it is doing so, turn the saw off and after the blade has COM- PLETELY STOPPED ROTATING, adjust the rear guide by loosening then tightening the jam nuts on the guide until it rides freely in the cut.

General Engine Care

Engine check:

Check daily for any oil and/or fuel leakage, thread nut & bolt tightness, and overall cleanliness.

Engine oil:

Check daily. Inspect with blade removed and saw frame level on a level surface. Keep the oil clean, and at the proper servicing level (Figure 8). DO NOT OVERFILL! SAE 10W- 30 of SG is recommended for general use.

Engine oil change:

Change engine oil after the first month or 20 hours of operation, then every 3 months/or 50 HOURS of operation. See Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed information.
