MP2 MASONRY SAW — STARTUP/SHUTDOWN (ELECTRIC MOTORS)
Read and fully understand this manual
before
starting or attempting to
operate the saw.
Before starting the saw's electric
motor make sure that the
Safety,
General Information, Inspection and Pre-setup
sections have been completed and understood. DO
NOT proceed until the above mentioned sections have
been completed.
ALWAYS ensure that the cutting blade has
been mounted correctly and that it is raised
above the surface you are about to cut.
NEVER place hands and fingers near
the cutting blade. The possibility
exists of severe bodily harm if hands
and fingers come in contact with
rotating saw blade.

1. Place the power ON/OFF switch (Figure 18) in the OFF
position (down).

2. Avoid overloading the motor when cutting. The electric
motors are protected with a manual-reset thermal
overload switch that will turn the saw off if the motor is
overheated. In the event that the switch is tripped, turn
the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and allow the
motor to cool before attempting to restart.
NEVER leave the saw connected to a power source
when unattended. This will prevent accidental starting
and potential injury.
