ForDryCutting:
ConsultBladeManufacturer
forMaximumDepthofCut.
Starting and Controlling the Cut:
• EnginemustbeatFULLTHROTTLE.
• MoveCLUTCHlevertoDRIVEpositionandadjustSPEEDCONTROL(Figure 8).
• PullknobupontheDepthControlHandwheel(Figure 6),slowlyturnHandwheelin 
DOWN direction (counter clockwise) until blade comes in contact with slab surface.
• SettheDepthGauge(Figure 7) at ZERO .
•ContinueturningtheHandwheeluntilbladehaspenetratedtheslabtodesireddepth.
Note: Depth gauge is an approximate measurement - it is not exact.
• Deepcuttingshouldbeachievedin2”-3”steps.
Never cut deeper than the maximum depth of cut for the blade being used.
Only cut in a forward direction.
Always cut with the engine at full throttle.
Controlling Speed:
• TheSS-24usesahydrostatictransmission,chainandgeardrive
mechanism that engages both rear wheels to achieve forward and
reverse movement. Machine speed is controlled by using the Speed
Controllever(gure8).
Actual cutting speed is determined by type of blade, material to be
cut and depth of cut. Adjust forward speed to meet cutting conditions.
Note: If while cutting, the front wheels start to lift, reduce forward speed.
For positioning the saw, the maximun forward speed is 200ft
per minute. For safety reasons when in reverse the SS-24 is designed to
move at a slow walking pace. Do not force it to go faster.
Left or Right Side Cutting:
• Ifcircumstancesrequirealeftsidecut,seepage13forinstructionson
moving the blade and blade guard.
