MQ-WHITEMAN FS1 CONCRETE SAW — PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #3 (04/24/03) — 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 7 on page
48 (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 17) to the "ON" position.
4. Place the Engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 18) in the "ON"
position.

FS 1 CONCRETE SAW— INITIAL START-UP
5. Place the Choke Lever (Figure 19) in the "OPEN" position
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 star ting, and for
restarting a warm engine.
CAUTION:
The engine governor speed has been set at the factory. Changing
the governor speed could damage the blade and/or the saw.
6. 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.
