Rear Pointers Diamond Blades The rear pointer rods act as guides when cutting. WARNING Adjusting the Rear Pointers DO NOT exceed the blade’s maximum recommended speed when cutting. Excessive blade speeds can cause blade breakage, resulting in serious injuries and/or death. Using the proper blade (size and type) preserves the blade and improves cutting and operator efficiency, resulting in lower costs.
Blade Speed CAUTION Refer to the CC6561 or CC6561-3 RPM Chart, the Wear gloves and be alert to the surrounding blade, or the blade packaging information for the environment when handling blades. recommended blade speeds when cutting. DO NOT exceed the maximum recommended blade speed.

For the 36-42” blade guard; remove the blade guard cap screw from the threaded hole on the side of the frame base and from the blade guard.
Figure 25: Left Water Valve Figure 27: Control Grip Raising the Saw Press the control grip’s left pushbutton to raise the saw and release to stop. Note: Raise the blade when maneuvering the saw to provide proper clearance between the blade and the ground. Lowering the Saw Press the control grip’s right pushbutton to lower the saw and release to stop.
Speed Control Lever The engine must run at half throttle or greater for proper transmission efficiency when maneuvering The speed control lever places the saw in neutral the saw with power. (no movement), forward, or reverse. Note: The engine must be running and the transmission must be engaged to move the saw using the speed control lever, which should be in Neutral when starting the engine.
Adding Fuel Check the fuel level daily and fill as necessary. 1. Lower the saw to the ground so it is level. 2. Stop the engine and let it cool down. 3. Remove the fuel tank cap. Figure 31: Transmission Lever 4.
