WARNING! Before starting observe the
following:
• Do not start the cut-off saw without the
guide bar, chain and side cover fitted.
Otherwise the clutch can come loose and
cause personal injury.
• Always move the cut-off saw from the
filling area before starting.
• Ensure that you and the machine stand
firmly and that the cutting chain can rotate
freely.
• Make sure no unauthorised persons are
within the working area.

START AND STOP
Start
Take hold of the front handle
using your left hand. Place
your right foot on the lower
section of the rear handle and
press the cut-off saw against
the ground. Never twist the
starter cord around your
hand.
Grip the starter with your right
hand, and slowly pull the
starter cord out until you feel
some resistance (the pawls
grip) now pull quickly and
powerfully.
NOTE! Do not pull out the
starter cord completely and do
not release the starter from
the fully extended position.
This can damage the cut-off
saw.
When the engine starts,
quickly apply full throttle and
the starter throttle catch will
automatically disengage.
WARNING! The cutting chain can rotate when
the engine starts. Make sure it can rotate
freely.
!
Stop
The engine is stopped by
switching off the ignition.
(Slide the stop switch to the
right.)
Starting a warm
engine
Use the same procedure as
for starting cold engine but
without choke.
Starting a cold engine
IGNITION:
Slide the stop switch to the
left.
CHOKE:
Pull out the choke.
STARTER THROTTLE
CATCH
Press in the throttle control
and thereafter the starter
throttle catch (A). Release the
throttle control and the throttle
is blocked in half throttle
position. The catch is released
when the throttle control is
pressed in all the way.
DECOMPRESSION VALVE
Press in the valve to reduce
the pressure in the cylinder,
this makes starting the cut-off
saw easier. The decom-
pression valve should always
be used when starting. When
the machine has started the
valve automatically returns to
its original position.
Wet cutting
The diamond chain saw must always be run with water cooling.
Dry cutting causes immediate overheating and bar and chain
failure with a risk of personal injury. In addition to cooling the
bar and chain, the flow of water pushes particles away from the
bar and the drive links. As a result it is important with a high
water pressure. The water pressure should be at least 2.5 bar
and a maximum of 11 bar. The recommended pressure is
approx. 5 bar.
