Saw - 142
4. Move attachment speed/direction control to desired speed. SAW WILL TURN.
To help avoid injury:
• Allow 3' (1 m) between digging teeth and obstacle. Machine may jerk when digging starts.
• Keep everyone at least 10' (3 m) from machine, attachments, and their range of movement.
5. Set throttle to full engine speed.
6. Lift trench cleaner, if equipped.
7. Slowly lower saw to trench depth.
NOTICE: Ensure that stabilizers are in contact with the ground while sawing. Failure to use
stabilizers correctly will damage equipment.
8. Release parking brake.
9. If using trench cleaner:
• Use ground drive foot control to move forward about 1' (30 cm), or until there is enough room for
trench cleaner to enter trench.
• Return ground drive control to neutral to stop forward movement.
• Raise boom slightly, then fully lower trench cleaner to lock it in place.
• Lower boom to desired trench depth.
NOTICE:
• Do not have trench cleaner in working position when starting a trench.
• Do not back up with trench cleaner in working position.
10. Move ground drive hand control to desired trenching speed. Always start trenching with ground drive
speed set at low. Increase ground drive speed only as soil conditions permit.
NOTICE:
• Lower saw into softer material then move into harder or abrasive material. For example,
lower saw into dirt at shoulder before cutting across road.
• Saw use is not recommended for soft, wet, or sticky soil conditions.
IMPORTANT: If a curved trench must be cut, make a series of straight cuts.
Moving digging teeth will cause serious injury or
death. Stay away.
