STARTING AND STOPPING
• Shift the Forward/Reverse control lever into gear.
• Set the Engine throttle knob to maximum rpm.
• Lower the blade by pressing the Raise/Lower switch on
the Forward/Reverse control lever until the blade is at the
desired cutting depth. For more information see section
"Blade cutting depth".
CAUTION! When lowering the blade into a partial cut, align
the blade exactly with the cut to prevent damage to the
blade.
• Move the saw forward slowly by pushing on the Forward/
Reverse control lever. Listen to the sound of the engine. If
the engine starts to slow down compensate by pulling
Forward/Reverse control lever backwards to decrease
feeding and prevent stalling the blade. Make sure the front
guide, rear guide and diamond blade stays on the line.
