Starting and Stopping the Engine
CAUTION
§ Do not leave the saw unattended while the engine is running.
§ Do not start, park, or leave the saw unattended on a slope.
§ If the saw has an optional water pump, do not run the saw dry
with the water pump switch ON — otherwise the pump impellers
will be damaged.
§ In normal operation, Do not stop the engine abruptly when hot!
Reduce the throttle to idle and allow the engine to run one or two
minutes before turning the ignition switch off.
1. Move the speed control joystick to NEUTRAL position.
2. Set the throttle to one-quarter open. Pull the choke sufficiently to start the
engine.
3. Ensure that water lines are attached and water is flowing to the saw.
4. Momentarily turn the start switch to the START position.
5. Push the choke in once the engine starts and allow the engine to warm up for
several minutes.
6. Set the throttle to the recommended engine RPM to match the recommended
blade speed of the attached blade.
7. Lower the blade to the cut depth.
8. Move the joystick FORWARD to advance the cut.
9. To stop the engine, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

of an emergency.
§ Do not go near rotating parts (blade, belts, pulleys, or wheels)
while the saw is running.
