OPERATION
ing the maximum clearance increases the chance of the chain being dislodged from the bar groove.
2.Make sure the bar attaching nuts are fully tightened and the chain guard is in place.
keep from pinching the saw bar and chain as a re- sult of falling pieces of concrete, brick, etc.
2.Make your cuts in the order shown in Figure 5, start- ing with cut 1 (base horizontal cut) and proceeding with the remaining three cuts.

CHECK CHAIN SEGMENT WEAR
1.Using adjustable calipers, measure several chain segments as illustrated in Figure 4.

2.If the average measurement is less than 1/16- inch/1.6 mm, then the chain must be replaced. Refer to your Service Manual for chain replacement pro- cedures.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.Observe all safety precautions.
2.Turn on the water supply. Water at the tool will be directed to the bar and chain when the trigger on the tool is squeezed ON.
3.Operate the tool for two minutes away from the in- tended cut and then check the chain tension. New chain will normally stretch during its first usage. It is very important to keep the chain tension adjusted so that it does not exceed 5/16 in./8 mm clearance from the bottom of the bar. See Check Chain & Bar Adjustment in this manual.
4.If the chain requires adjustment, see Maintenance & Adjustments in this manual.
PLAN THE CUT
1. Plan your cuts to prevent injury to yourself and to
Figure 5. Planning Cuts
3.Outline the concrete area with a permanent marker for a visual guide.
4.Know what kind of material and how much reinforc- ing you are going to cut.
TYPES OF CUTS
The DS06 can be operated using the types of cuts shown in Figure 6. When making cuts:
NOTICE
The following are general cutting procedures and techniques. Differences in the terrain and the type of material being cut will make this information more or less valid for particular areas. For advice on specific cutting problems or techniques, consult your local Stanley Representative. He/she can often provide information that will make your work safer and more productive.
