” cable is
properly installed and the ow control lever is in the “OFF” position. Adjust the air pressure to 90 psi (100 psi MAX.)
using the air regulator valve
(see Figure 4 on page 6)
. Open the ow control lever gradually to start and adjust the
oil regulator knob as required for your application.
Before Starting Engine:
• BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE OR MOTOR: Raise the saw blade clear of the working surface. The blade is
raised using the depth control handwheel knob mounted on the upper handle assembly
(Figure 5)
. 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
knob. NOTE - the 14 inch blade has a maximum cutting depth of 4 3/4”. Do not allow the arbor anges to contact
slab surface.
When the selected cutting depth is reached, lock the depth control
handwheel knob and proceed to push the saw forward. The saw
blade must remain straight, do not twist, and do not force blade,
the engine or motor should not strain when cutting.
Cutting to maximize depth should be achived in stepped
increments of 1”.
