lever by fully to the Engage position and \ then slowly push the Speed
Control forward until the desired speed is reached. If the engine begins
to stall or the saw raises out of the cut slow the forward speed down!!
The further the lever is pushed the fast the saw will move.

by rotating the Hand Wheel Clockwise until the blade is at least one (1)
inch above the ground.

E. Cutting Technique
Lower the blade into the concrete to the required depth by turning the hand
wheel counter-clockwise. Ease the handle slowly forward . Retard the
forward pressure if the saw begins to stall.
Note: For deeper cuts (4 inches or more), several cuts should be made in
incremental steps of 1-1/2 to 2 inches until the desired depth of cut is
reached.
Push the saw steadily forward using the front pointer as a guide. Exert
enough forward pressure so that the engine begins to labor, but does not
slow down. If the saw begins to stall, retard the forward movement until full
rpm is restored to the blade. If the saw stalls, raise the blade out of the cut
before restarting. Avoid excessive side pressure or twisting of the blade in
the cut.
