STOW CUTTER 3 SAW — OPERATION

Traveling During Cutting (Push)

Push models of the Cutter 3 saw must be manually moved by the operator during cutting operations. Ensure that the handlebars are secured in place on the console and push against them with a controlled amount of force to prevent losing control of the machine.

CAUTION

DO NOT force the blade into the cut any faster than its designed tendency is effective cut and remove material. This can damage your blade and/or your machine.

Traveling During Cutting (Self-Propelled)

Self-propelled models of the Cutter 3 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.

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.

(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.

Saw Alignment

1.The Cutter 3 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 accom- plished 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.
