OPERATING TIPS
• Work slowly and carefully.
• Wash bits and mounting blocks with high pressure water
before parking unit overnight.
• Before operating saw, check bits for free rotation. Tap bits
lightly with a hammer and turn by hand. If bits are stuck,
remove and clean packed soil from bit block.
• For best results, use retaining clip loading and removing tool
and a knock-out bar included with saw to remove and reinsert
bits.
• Carbide bits are recommended for cutting abrasive material,
such as sandstone or frozen sands or gravels.
• Saw use is not recommended for soft, wet, or sticky soil
conditions.
• Lower saw into softer material then move into harder or
abrasive material. For example, lower saw into dirt at shoulder
before cutting across road.
• If a curved trench must be cut, make a series of straight cuts.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN - Turn ignition switch to STOP.
