DO NOT attempt to operate the saw until the
Safety, General Information and Inspection
sections have been read and understood.
Depending on engine manufacturer, operating
steps may vary. See engine operating manual.
The following start-up procedure makes reference to a HONDA
13 HP Engine (Manual Start)
1. Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and
that it is raised above the surface you are about to saw.
2. Connect a hose (water source) to the water input port of the
saw (see page 50, item 2, Water System Assembly), and
test for adequate flood water [ 4 to 5 gallons per minute (15
to 19 LT/min)], and/or misting water [steady geometric aero-
sol spray at 40 psi].
3. Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 19) to the "ON" position.

6. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 22) in the " OPEN " position
Figure 21. Console Engine ON/Off Switch
NOTE
The CLOSED position of the choke lever enriches
the fuel mixture for starting a COLD engine. The
OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture
for normal operation after starting, and for
restarting a warm engine.
5. PULL the Console Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 21) to
the "PULL-ON" position.
CAUTION:
The engine governor speed has been set at the factory. Changing
the governor speed could damage the blade and/or the saw.
7. Place the throttle lever (Figure 23) halfway between fast
and slow for starting. All sawing is done at full throttle. The
engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum
blade operating speeds.

4. Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 20) in the "ON"
position.
