FS2 CONCRETE SAW — INITIAL START-UP
Stopping the Engine
NEVER stop the engine while the blade is in the cut, except
for extreme emergencies. A sudden stoppage of the engine
at high speed while in a cut could damage the blade and/or
saw, and may cause injury to the user or other in the
operating area.
1. Place the throttle lever (Figure 20) in the slow position, and
listen for the engine speed to decrease.
2. Push the console engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 18) to the
“OFF” position.
3. Place the engine ON/OFF switch (Figure 17) to the “OFF”
position.
4. Place the fuel valve lever (Figure 16) to the “OFF” position.
Maneuvering The Saw
8. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 21) 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.
