Experience is very important when running the 2000 saw. A
skilled worker is highly recommended. Always do an inspec-
tion of the saw before starting the engine. Check the fuel (H)
and oil level (A) per the enclosed engine manual. SAE 10W/30
oil and unleaded gasoline with an 87 or higher octane should
be used. The hydrostatic transmission use Mobil DTE 26
hydraulic oil or equivalent (20W with viscosity of 68). Observe
all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Always
check the engine oil with the saw turned off, completely
lowered and the engine level! Check that all controls are in
good working order. Check for loose bolts or nuts. Check
for fuel or oil leaks.
WARNING
Do not operate saw if there is a fuel leak!
Insure all guards are secure, undamaged and properly
installed.
WARNING
Do not operate the saw unless all guards, safety
equipment and the engine kill switch are in place and
operational!
operates properly. Check that the blade and skid plate are in
good condition. Make sure the work site is clean, well lit and
hazard free.
To start the engine, turn the fuel valve (D) on by the carburetor
on the side of the engine. Raise the saw by pushing down
on the handle with both hands to the full locked position.
Move the engine throttle lever (Q) 1/3 of the way to the open
position. Close the engine choke (P) by pulling up on the
knob. The closed choke position enriches the fuel mixture for
starting a cold engine. The open choke position provides the
correct fuel mixture for operation after the engine starts and
for restarting a warm engine. Start the engine by turning the
key switch (M) to "START" or "2" position and release once the
engine starts. Slowly open the choke (P) by pushing down on
the knob. Allow the engine to warm for a few minutes.

guide wheel on the cut line to insure straight cuts. Make small
adjustments by applying side pressure on the handle to keep
the saw straight.
allow the blade to develop good diamond exposure or open
up and promote blade life. Increase the forward speed of the
saw until the blade and the engine are working at maximum
Increase the forward speed if the saw is pulling left. Decrease
the forward speed if the saw is pulling right. Do not force the
saw. When approaching a wall, raise the front guide and use
the triangle guide at the back of the blade block to cut the last
few feet.
Do not hit the blade block assembly against any object.
Damage may result. Slow the forward speed by pulling the
control handle lever back until the saw stops. Push down on
the back of the handle bar to raise the saw out of the cut to
the full and locked position.
The self propel function of the saw will not operate with the
unit raised. Move the engine throttle lever to the full closed

tion.
WARNING
Do not leave the saw unattended while the engine
is running! Always secure the saw from move-
ment while unattended.
Always clean the blade block assembly thoroughly before
storing the saw. Always close fuel valve before transporting.
