Lift the knob to unlock and turn the handwheel clockwise until the blade is clearly o the ground.
• START ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING SPEED: Position the saw over the cutting line.
Bring the engine to full speed. Lower the blade into the slab surface by slowly turning the depth control handwheel
