STOW CUTTER 3 CE SAW — OPERATION

5.When the end of the cut has been reached, use the raise/ lower crank on the console to raise the blade out of the cut.

6.When cutting is complete, turn the engine OFF using the ENGINESTOP TOGGLE SWITCH on the handlebars, and wait for the blade to stop rotating.

7.Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

8.Place the water valve in the OFF position (as required).

9.Push the Wheel Clamp Levers downward to apply braking pressure to the wheels (Figure 37).

Traveling During Cutting (Self-Propelled)

Self-propelled models of the Cutter 3 CE saw have a hydrostatic transmission which mechanically propels the saw during cutting operations. To prepare the machine for self-propelled cutting:

1. Place the travel lever in the NEUTRAL position.

(Neutral Position)

2.Lift the transmission engage/disengage lever, located on the console (Figure 39). Leaving the lever down disengages the transmission to allow for manual pushing during cutting or moving the machine around the job site.

3.Move the travel lever towards the FORWARD position to increase forward travel speed during cutting (Figure 40). Placing the travel lever fully forward will move the saw at maximum speed.

(Forward Position)

4.When reverse movement is required, move the travel lever towards the REVERSE position (Figure 41). Placing the travel lever fully in reverse will move the saw backwards at its maximum reverse speed.

Saw Alignment

1.The Cutter 3 CE saw employs a front pointer (Figure 42) that has been precisely aligned with the diamond blade at the factory. Referencing the figure below, accurate tracking is accomplished by referencing the front pointer tip over the cut line. Precise saw direction is accomplished by slight operator pressure against the handle bars.

2.To reorient a pointer position, loosen the screw that secures the pointer bar to the shaft, adjust as necessary, and retighten the screw.
