5. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 28) and slowly pull it out. The
resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corre-
sponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly
and smoothly for starting.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to
the end. DO NOT release the starter rope
after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as
possible.
4. Rotate the throttle lever (Figure 27) halfway between fast
and slow for starting. All cutting is done at full throttle . The
engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum
blade operating speeds.

6. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever
(Figure 26) to the "OPEN" position. If the engine has not
started repeat steps 1 through 5.
7. Before the saw is placed into operation, run the engine for
several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would
associate with a loose guards and/or covers.
8. Gradually move the engine throttle lever toward the fast
position. ( All cutting should be done at full throttle ).
OPERATION (GASOLINE)
ALWAYS cut with the saw at FULL THROTTLE. Attempting to
cut with the saw at less than full throttle could cause the blade to
bind or stop abruptly in the slab resulting in serious injury to the
operator or others in the area.
10. Push the conveyor cart with the material, slowly and evenly
until the cut is complete. Move the cart back and remove
the cut pieces.
11. Avoid overloading the engine when cutting. In the event that
the engine becomes overloaded, turn the engine ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position and allow the engine to
cool before
attempting to restart.
STOPPING
1. Set the engine throttle lever to slow speed and let the engine
idle for 3-5 minutes.
2. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
3. Place the fuel valve lever in the closed position.
4. Let the engine cool.
5. Using a soft cloth, clean any excess debris or residue that
may have accumulated on the saw.
6. Store saw in a clean dry location where it will be out of the
reach of children.
Engine components can generate extreme heat.
To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these areas
while the engine is running or immediately after
operations. NEVER operate the engine with
heat shields or heat guards removed.
WARNING
ALWAYS be alert to the fact that there is a rotating blade on the
saw and be extremely aware of your body position - especially
your hands in relationship to the rotating blade. The possibility
exists of
severe bodily harm even death if your body comes in
contact with the rotating saw blade.
DANGER
9. Squeeze the water pump priming bulb (Figure 29)until
water begins to flow through the
water lines. If the pump is working
correctly, the cutting blade should be
covered with a steady water mist.
This will keep the blade cool.
