When cutting, determine the required cutting depth and use an appropriately sized blade. Deep sawing is wasteful to the life of the blade.

The preferred method of sawing is to Step Cut in increments of 51mm (2”). StepCuttingprovidestheoptimumopportunityforthe blade to cut fast and last longest.

Water System

1.Connect hose from water source (on-board water tank or external water source) to the hose fitting connection (Figure 3) of the saw. The source pressure should be approximately 30-40 psi.

2.Ensure the vinyl water tubes are properly inserted into the blade guard holes and are clear of any obstructions.

3.Turn water source on (Figure 43).

5. Align the saw along the cut line utilizing the front pointer.

CAUTION

ALWAYS saw in a straight line only. SERIOUS DAMAGE to the blade or saw may occur if the saw is twisted or forced to cut radius shapes.

6.Slowlylowerthediamond bladeontothecutlineby cranking the Raise/LowerhandleCLOCKWISE (Figure 37). When the handle can no longer be turned, the blade will be at its full rated depth.

WARNING

If the water supply to your blade is interrupted, STOP cutting immediately to prevent damage to your blade and/or saw.

If the engine stalls for ANY reason during cutting, raise the blade out of the cut before restarting.

7.For self-propelled models, follow steps 1-4 of the Traveling During Cutting (Self-Propelled)section.

Forpushmodels,usetheTravelingDuringCutting(Push) instructions.

8.The rotation of the blade creates a tendency for the saw to slightly pull in a particular direction. To ensure a straight line of sawing, apply pressure against the appropriate side of the handle bar as you slowly advance the saw forward.

CAUTION

DO NOT force the blade into the cut any faster than its design will allow. This can damage your blade and/or your machine.
