MQ-WHITEMAN FS2 CONCRETE SAW — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #2 (11/08/01) — PAGE 25
CAUTION:
D
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 manufactures
operating manual. The following start-up procedure makes
reference to a HONDA engine.
1. Ensure the diamond blade has been mounted correctly and
that it raised above the surface you about to saw.
2. Connect to water source (as applicable) see item 14 on page
44 (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 aerosol spray at 40 psi].
3. Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 16) to the "ON" position.
4. Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 17) in the "ON"
position.

6. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 19) in the "OPEN" position
Figure 18. 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 18) 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 20) 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.
