Manual

Concrete Cutting
• DO NOT expose yourself or other in
the direct path of the
blades when operating
the saw.
For better efficiency, keep the following in mind
while cutting:
• Use just enough pressure on the handlebars
to guide the saw on the cutting line. DO
NOT forcibly direct (twist) the saw form side
to side when cutting.
• Moving too quickly when cutting may stall
the saw, or cause the blades to climb out of
the cut. If the saw stalls at anytime, move
the speed controller to the
Neutral position
and raise the blades fully to restart the
engine.
• DO NOT lower the blades or move the saw
forward to quickly when finishing a partial
cut to avoid forcing the blades into the
concrete.
Prior to Cutting
Complete the following prior to cutting:
• Raise the blades to a sufficient height
when maneuvering the saw to provide
proper clearance between machine and
the ground.
• Align the front pointer with the blade.
• Clearly mark the cutting line.
• The work area should not contain any
buried cables, electrical lines, gas lines,
or telecommunication lines and all gas
and electrical utilities should be shut off
in area prior to cutting.
Making the Cut
1. Pull the water valve to the ON position.
2. Align the blade and pointer with the cutting
line.
3. Lower the blade to touch the cutting
surface.
4. Plunge the blade until the desired cutting
depth is reached. To maintain a particular
depth when cutting, turn the Depth Control
Knob clockwise, located on the top of the
machines dash, until resistance is felt. The
blade should not lower any further, if there
is no need for a depth stop, do not use it.
5. Push the speed control lever forward until
the desired travelling speed is reached.
Raise and lower the blades as necessary.
When using the depth stop, raise the blades
from the cut and repeat as necessary.
Adjusting the Depth Stop
Turn the depth stop knob counterclockwise to
increase the cutting depth when plunging the
blade, or turn the depth stop knob clockwise to
decrease the cutting depth when plunging the
blade. The depth stop knob will stop turning when
the saw has reached its maximum depth.
Depth Control Knob
Continuing a Partial Cut
1. Maneuver the saw into the correct location.
2. Align the blade with previous cut, and then
plunge the blade back into the concrete. DO
NOT move forward until blade is properly
aligned with cut.
3. Push the speed control lever forward until
the desired traveling speed is reached.
Finishing a Cut
1. Place the speed control lever in the Neutral
position.
2. Raise the blades from the cut high enough
to ensure proper ground clearance when
maneuvering saw.
