1.

Engine ON/OFF Switch – Pull the switch to permit engine

 

starting. Push the switch to stop engine. Also acts as a fast

 

and secure way to stop the engine in an emergency.

2.

Digital Tachometer/Hourmeter – Indicates engine RPM

 

and operation hours saw has been in use.

3. Water ON/OFF Valve – On position opens valve and permits water to flow from source through saw water hose. OFF position closes valve and halts the flow of water

 

through the saw.

4.
