OPERATION
2.Make sure the bar attaching nuts are fully tightened and the chain guard is in place.
2.Make your cuts in the order shown in Figure 4, starting with cut 1 (base horizontal cut) and proceeding with the remaining three cuts.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.Observe all safety precautions.
2.Turn on the water supply. Water at the tool will be di- rected to the bar and chain when the trigger on the tool is squeezed “ON”.
3.Operate the tool for two minutes away from the intended cut and then check the chain tension. New chain will nor- mallhy stretch during its fi rst 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 keep from pinching the saw bar and chain as a result of falling pieces of concrete, brick, etc.
Figure 4. Planning Cuts
3.Outline the concrete area with a permanent marker for a visual guide.
4.Know what kind of material and how much reinforcing you are going to cut.
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 specifi c cutting problems or techniques, consult your local Stanley Representative. He/she can often provide information that will make your work safter and more productive.
