PROBLEM Possible Cause
SAW WON'T REACH FULL RPM Dirty air filter
SLOW DIAMOND CHAIN SPEED
Chain tension too tight. Diamond chain should
always be able to be pulled around the guidebar by
hand. It is normal for the diamond chain links to hang
below the guidebar.
POOR CUTTING SPEED
Diamonds may be glazed over. Make a few cuts in an
abrasive material to expose the diamonds.
PREMATURE CHAIN STRETCH
Not enough water pressure. The minimum water
pressure required is 20 psi (1.5 bar). Insufficient
water supply may result in excessive wear to the
diamond chain, which can lead to loss of strength
and diamond chain breakage.
CHAIN TENSIONER BREAKAGE
Side cover nut is not tight enough. Torque to 20-25
ft-lbs (27-33 Nm).
WATER NOT FLOWING
Water hose is kinked or water supply not turned on
Water ports plugged with debris
WON'T START
Aged or bad fuel
Defective spark plug
DIFFICULT TO START
Flooded engine. Push choke in, hold throttle on full
with foot and pull starter cord (hard, short, fast pulls)
until engine starts.
Fouled spark plug. Remove spark plug, clean, and
re-gap to .020 in (0.5 mm).
DIAMOND CHAIN BREAKAGE
Improper chain tension
Inserting saw into slot narrower than diamond chain
segments
Not enough feed pressure while cutting. Avoid letting
the saw bounce and chatter.
