2. If the average measurement is less than 1/16-
inch/1.6 mm, then the chain must be replaced. Refer
to your Service Manual for chain replacement pro-
cedures.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Observe all safety precautions.
2. Turn on the water supply. Water at the tool will be
directed to the bar and chain when the trigger on the
tool is squeezed ON.
3. Operate the tool for two minutes away from the in-
tended cut and then check the chain tension. New
chain will normally stretch during its rst usage. It is
very important to keep the chain tension adjusted
so that it does not exceed 5/16 in./8 mm clearance
from the bottom of the bar. See Check Chain & Bar
Adjustment in this manual.
4. If the chain requires adjustment, see Maintenance &
Adjustments in this manual.
PLAN THE CUT
1. Plan your cuts to prevent injury to yourself and to
keep from pinching the saw bar and chain as a re-
sult of falling pieces of concrete, brick, etc.
2. Make your cuts in the order shown in Figure 5, start-
ing with cut 1 (base horizontal cut) and proceeding
with the remaining three cuts.
Figure 5. Planning Cuts
3. Outline the concrete area with a permanent marker
for a visual guide.
4. Know what kind of material and how much reinforc-
ing you are going to cut.
