reference to a HONDA engine.
1. Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and
that it raised above the surface you about to saw.
2. Connect to water source (as applicable) see item 14 on page
44 (Water System Assembly), and test for adequate flood
water [ 4 to 5 gallons per minute (15 to 19 LT/min)], and/or
misting water [steady geometric aerosol spray at 40 psi].

for normal operation after starting, and for
restarting a warm engine.

CAUTION:
The engine governor speed has been set at the factory. Changing
the governor speed could damage the blade and/or the saw.
7. Place the throttle lever (Figure 20) halfway between fast
and slow for starting. All sawing is done at full throttle. The
engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum
blade operating speeds.
