SPECIFIC TOOLS / SAW BLADES uniform about the rim of the blade and not succumbing SPECIFIC TOOLS TO BE USED to an “under cutting” condition brought about by highly This saw is to use tools (blades) as follows: abrasive material or improper under cutting core protection.
INSTALLING THE BLADE INSTALLING THE BLADE The blade can be mounted on either side of the saw to accomodate different cutting jobs. With the proper sized blade selected, reference the following procedure to install the new blade. Ensure the flange faces are kept clean and smooth as well as the inside diameter of the blade shaft.

INSTALLING THE BLADE Stacking Blades for Wide Cuts CAUTION — Improper Torque Combining, or stacking blades together to make wide cuts An improperly torqued mounting bolt can cause the requires an optional bushing extension kit. inside diameter of the blade, blade shaft, and flange bushing to quickly wear.
BLADE GUARDS 2. Standing toward the back of the blade guard, grasp BLADE GUARD the top handle firmly with your outboard hand (this will The blade guards can be mounted on either side of the be the right hand if the guard is mounted on the right saw to accomodate different cutting jobs.
BLADE GUARDS INSTALLING THE FLANGE GUARD Installing a Blade Guard: The flange guard protects the blade flange when not in use. 1. Slide the blade guard straight downward to engage the tapered mounting clip (Figure 16). 1. Slide the flange guard onto the guard mounting tab on the frame (Figure 18).
WATER DELIVERY SYSTEMS WATER DELIVERY SYSTEM (OPTION) CAUTION When storing the saw where temperatures may drop below freezing, blow out the water lines to prevent damage to the water delivery system. 1. Connect the water supply hose to the water inlet (garden hose) fitting on the left side of the saw (Figure 5, Item 21).
BATTERY BATTERY SETUP WARNING — Battery hazards Always recharge the battery in a well- ventilated area to avoid risk of a dangerous concentration of combustible gases. Battery electrolyte contains corrosive, toxic chemical (dilute sulfuric acid). Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Figure 19.
FUELING THE SAW FUELING THE SAW Priming the Fuel System The saw utilizes a fuel primer bulb (Figure 21, item A) or This saw features a 6 gallon, clear, molded plastic fuel button (item B), when fueling the saw for the first time or tank for ease of checking the fuel level.
