Mechanism Lock Lever

The lock lever (item 27 - page 11) is located on

the rear left side of the mechanism.

When engaged, it locks the system (item 35 –

page 12) in either the full forward or the full

back position and prevents movement while

transporting the saw. When held in the full back

position, the saw is more compact for lifting

and storage. The full back position is often used

while performing chop cuts.

To Engage the Lock Lever

Saw in the Full Back Position – (Fig. 13)

1. Grasp the saw's main handle (item 3 - page

11) and push (slide) the head assembly

back as far as it goes. The upper housings

will be upright and closed.

2. Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage its

wedge into the joint area between the two

lower housings. Release the lock lever tab

and the main handle. The head assembly

will be locked in the full back position.

Saw in the Full Forward Position – (Fig. 14)

1. Grasp the main handle (item 3 - page 11)

and pull (slide) the head assembly toward

you as far as it goes. The mechanism will be

fully extended.

2. Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage its

wedge into the joint area between the two

lower housings. Release the lock lever tab

and the main handle. The head assembly

will be locked in the full forward position.

From Back or Forward Positions – (Fig. 15)

1. Grip the tab on the lock lever and press

down until its wedge comes out from be-

tween the two lower housings. Release your

grip; the mechanism is now free to slide for-

ward and back.
