STOW CUTTER 1 SAW — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #6 (06/06/08) — PAGE 21
6. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 16) and slowly pull it out. The
resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corre-
sponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly
and smoothly for starting.

8. Before the saw is placed into operation, run the engine for
several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would
associate with a loose guards and/or covers.
STOW CUTTER 1 SAW — INITIAL START-UP/OPERATION
CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTION
DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to
the end. DO NOT release the starter rope
after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as
possible.
ALWAYS keep clear of
rotating
or
moving
parts while operating
this equipment.
WARNING
3. When blade has reached full cutting depth, slowly walk
behind the saw at a rate that will allow the engine to operate
without losing optimum RPM.

4. When the end of the cut has been reached, raise the blade
out of the cut by pulling back on the handlebars (using a
downward pressure) until the raise/lower rod drops into its
slot with the blade in the raised position.
5. If cutting is complete, turn the engine off and wait for the blade
to stop rotating.
DO NOT try to cut faster than the blade will
allow. Cutting too fast will cause the blade to
rise up out of the cut. Improper cutting rate
can decrease the life of the engine and
blades.
5. Rotate the
throttle lever
(Figure 15) halfway between
fast
and
slow
for starting. All sawing is done at
full throttle
. The
engine governor speed is factory set to ensure optimum
blade operating speeds.
Figure 15. Throttle Lever
ALWAYS cut with the saw at FULL THROTTLE. Attempting to
cut with the saw at less than full throttle could cause the blade to
bind or stop abruptly in the slab resulting in serious injury to the
operator or others in the area.
WARNING
2. To begin sawing, lower the rotating blade allowing it to cut to
the preset depth.
7. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever
(Figure 14) to the
"OPEN"
position. If the engine has not
started repeat steps 1 through 6.
OPERATION
1. Start the engine. Rotate the throttle lever (Figure 14) toward
full throttle.
NOTE
Mark the cutting line clearly and always
saw in a STRAIGHT LINE ONLY.
