MECHANISM LOCK LEVER
The lock lever 27 is located on the rear left
side of the mechanism.
When engaged, it locks the system (item 35
– page 12) in either the full forward or the
full back position and prevents movement
while transporting the saw. When held in
the full back position, the saw is more com-
pact for lifting and storage. The full back
position is often used while performing
chop cuts.
TO ENGAGE THE LOCK LEVER
Saw in the Full Back Position – (Fig. 10)
1. Grasp the saw’s main handle (item 3 –
page 12) and push (slide) the head as-
sembly back as far as it goes. The upper
housings will be upright and closed.
2. Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage
its wedge into the joint area between the
two lower housings. Release the lock
lever tab and the main handle. The head
assembly will be locked in the full back
position.
Saw in the Full Forward Position –
(Fig. 11)
1. Grasp the main handle (item 3 – page
12) and pull (slide) the head assembly
toward you as far as it goes. The mecha-
nism will be fully extended.
2. Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage
its wedge into the joint area between the
two lower housings. Release the lock
lever tab and the main handle. The head
assembly will be locked in the full for-
ward position.
From Back or Forward Positions –
(Fig. 12)
1. Grip the tab on the lock lever and press
down until its wedge comes out from be-
tween the two lower housings. Release
your grip; the mechanism is now free to
slide forward and back.
