STOPPING ENGINE
RESTARTING WARM ENGINE
SEQUENCE AFTER STARTING ENGINE
CUTTIING ASPHALT, TAR AND REINFORCED MATERIALS
WHEEL THRUST
Flip SWITCH down to stop the engine. Keep wheel in the clear until all
movement stops.
If engine fails to stop when switch is flipped down, PULL OUT THE CHOKE.
The choked engine will slow to a stop. Be sure to keep the wheel in the clear
until all movement stops.
With trigger latched, wheel will rotate as soon as engine starts. Keep
wheel in the clear.
Wheel will rotate for some time after the trigger is released. Keep
wheel in the clear until all movement stops.
When engine is warm from previous running, flip SWITCH to "ON". And
push CHOKE all the way in. Try cranking at idle throttle without latching it. If
this does not work, try again with throttle latched. Choking may be needed if
the engine has cooled. But, to avoid the possibility of over-choking and
flooding, always first try to start a warm engine without choking it.
1. Squeeze and release trigger to unlatch it and take control of the throttle.
2. Let engine warm to operating temperature before doing any cutting.
3. Take cutting stance on left side of saw. Never get any part of your body
behind the saw. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Throttle up to cutting
speed and make gentle wheel contact with the work.
Old, cold and hardened asphalt paving can be cut with a masonry wheel
with good results and little trouble with tarring of the wheel. Fresh asphalt
and tarred surfaces can gum up the wheel and slow its cutting action. Some
tar or resin-impregnated materials also may present problems of this sort.
Masonry containing metal reinforcement is best cut with a masonry wheel
which can cut through the reinforcing steel better than a wheel designed for
metal can cut the masonry. Expect faster than normal wheel wear.
Do not raise saw above chest height, because the saw is hard to
control when held up high, and dust or sparks will fall on you.
Wear hearing protection. Without it you risk hearing loss,
especially where bounce-back of sound waves off nearby surfaces
increases the noise.
Do not take awkward or risky operating positions. Find solid
footing for both feet, and always hold the saw firmly with both
hands. Never make one-handed cuts.
When the wheel engages the work, the thrust will exert a forward
pull which you must be ready to control. Keep bystanders out of
the way.
