2. Remove the water valve from the 1–1/4” plug hole.
3. Fit the water valve through the 1–1/4” plug hole on
the opposite side of the saw.
4. Secure the valve to the frame upright.
Water Pump
The water pump (optional item) pumps water from the
water source to the saw as necessary. DO NOT leave
the water pump on when finished cutting to avoid
draining the battery.
1. Turn on the water pump switch to start the pump.
2. Turn off the water pump switch to stop the pump.
Water Tank
The water tank (optional item) decreases airborne dust
when wet cutting. Note: The water tank cannot be used
with the electric motor saw.
• Connect the water tank’s water supply hose to the
blade guard prior to operating the saw.
Handwheel
The handwheel raises and lowers the saw and blade.
Note: The saw can be raised and lowered with the
engine/motor off.
Figure 18: Handwheel
Raising the Saw
1. Pull out the index plunger and turn it 90° to remove
from the plunger groove. Turn the handwheel
counterclockwise to raise the saw.
2. Turn the index plunger 90° to lock it back into the
plunger groove. Turn the handwheel slightly to lock
the handwheel.
Lowering the Saw
1. Pull out the index plunger and turn it 90° to remove
from the plunger groove. Turn the handwheel
clockwise to lower the saw.
2. Turn the index plunger 90° to lock it back into the
plunger groove. Turn the handwheel slightly to lock
the handwheel.
Speed Control Lever
The speed control lever (self-propelled model) places
the saw in neutral (no movement), forward, or reverse.
Note: The engine must be running and the transmission
must be engaged to move the saw using the speed
control lever.
Figure 19: Speed Control Lever
Forward Control
Push the speed control lever forward to reach the proper
traveling speed. The maximum speed the saw will move
forward, at full throttle, is 80 ft/min.
Reverse Control
Pull the speed control lever backward to reach the
proper traveling speed. The maximum speed the saw
will move backward, at full throttle, is 80 ft/min.
Neutral Control
Place the speed control lever at Neutral to stop the saw.
DO NOT assume at any time that the transmission will
act as a brake in neutral.
Transmission Lever
Disengage the transmission (self-propelled model) prior
to starting the engine to prevent unnecessary saw
movement. The engine must run at half throttle or
greater for proper transmission efficiency when
maneuvering the saw with power.
