To Stop Cutting:
• Move Speed Control lever to the NEUTRAL position.
• Turn Depth Control Handwheel clockwise until blade is clear of slab.
• Push Clutch Lever forward, away from operator to the FREE WHEEL position; this will stop all forward motion.
(Figure 8)
• Return Throttle to idle.
• Flip Blade Saver switch back to DRY.
• Turn off optional Water Pump then turn off water supply valve.
To Stop the Engine:
• In an emergency situation, PUSH DOWN the E-Stop.
• For normal shut off, return Ignition to OFF position and remove the key,SS-20 only.
NOTE: Using the E-Stop as an ON/OFF switch instead of shutting off the ignition will drain the battery, SS-20 only.
Coolant Requirements:
• Water must be used when operating with blades marked for WET CUTTING. A supply of 2 1/2 - 5 gallons per
minute (GPM) is necessary. Attach water hose to Coolant Valve or Pump. Adjust valves to control the flow of water.
Optional Electric Water Pump Operation:
• On all models equipped with Electric Pumps (12 V.D.C.), be sure there is water in the system AND water is being
supplied to the pump, SS-20 only.
• Attach the water hose to the valve.
• Start the engine according to the directions on page 6.
• Open water valve then turn the Water Pump switch ON and the Blade Saver to WET. (Review Figures 3 & 4)
• To stop water flow, SS-20 only, turn the Blade Saver back to DRY and then the Water Pump switch to OFF. Close
the water valve. Never interrupt the flow of water to the pump while the pump is ON. Stopping the flow of water to
or from the pump while it is ON may cause a blown water pump fuse. Should the water pump fuse blow, see
directions for Changing the Water Pump Fuse page 9.
NOTE: For units with the optional Water Pump, water flows through the pump assembly at all times. If pressure from out-
side source such as city water supply is adequate (2 1/2 - 5 gallons per minutes), Water Pump need not be engaged.
Transporting the Saw:
Extreme care must be taken when loading or
unloading this machine.
• If hoisting this machine, use the built in hoisting bar. (Figure 9)
Use proper hoisting equipment and techniques.
• Remove the blade before transporting or hoisting. Serious personal
injury or damage to the equipment can result.
• Do not transport the saw with the engine running.
• Be certain the area surrounding the machine is clear of personnel
before hoisting.
