OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The following instructions were compiled to
provide you information on how to obtain long
and trouble free use of the unit. Periodic
maintenance of this unit is essential. Read the
manual in its entirety and follow the instructions
carefully. Failure to do so may injure yourself
or a bystander.
DELIVERY CHECKS
Immediately upon taking delivery of your new
equipment and before putting it into service:
 Read the handbook completely--it could save
a great deal of unnecessary expense.
 Read the engine manual supplied.
 Check the general condition of the equip-
ment--has it been damaged during delivery?
 Check engine oil level.
 Check fuel levels.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE section.
INSTALLING BLADE
1. Be certain that the spark plug is disconnected
or saw is unplugged.
2. Remove the blade shaft nut, right hand
thread, and take off outside blade shaft collar.
3. Clean off any foreign particles on the clamp-
ing surfaces of collars and on the mounting
surface of the blade.
4. Place the blade on the blade shaft, lining up
the offset drive pin in the blade with the drive
pin in the mounting collar. If your blade has a
directional rotational arrow, position arrow
for down cut (diamond tail trailing for down
cut).
5. Replace the outside blade shaft collar on the
blade shaft. Drive pin on the inside collar
must project through the drive hole in the
blade and into the outside collar.
6. Tighten the blade shaft nut (right-hand thread)
securely against star washer and outside
collar, using two wrenches supplied.
7. Reconnect the spark plug or (with switch
"off") plug in the electric supply cord.
TYPES OF CUTTING
Cut speed depends entirely on using the correct
blade for the material to be cut. Wet or dry,
diamond blades of various specifications are
available for cutting concrete or asphalt.
Manual Saws - require the operator to push the
saw through the material. They are ideal for
small jobs where high productivity is not
required. Stone Saw Devils are available in 7-16
hp models.
Self Propelled Saws - Designed for maximum
productivity and reduced operator fatigue. They
allow deeper cutting at a faster forward speed.
Hydrostatic drive is typically standard on self-
propelled saws with horsepower ranges from 13-
65. Saw Devils are available in 13, 16, 18 and
20 hp models.
