OPERATING

Lower the blade to just above the cutting
surface and zero the blade by pressing the
“Zero Blade” button on the display panel.

Slowly lower the blade into the surface to
no more than 2” deep. Make the initial pass
across the entire cutting line using the most
effective travel speed. If the blade is
coming up out of the cut, decrease travel
speed and/or feed depth.

DO NOT CUT

FULL DEPTH IN ONE PASS

If you are cutting more than 2” deep, you
can finish the job in less time and effort by
step cutting in 2” increments. Cut a 2”
depth on the initial pass, 4” depth on the
second and so on. On repeated passes,
the blade will tend to follow the previous
cut.

7. Raise the blade out of the cut and

reposition the saw at the start of the cut
line. DO NOT move backwards with the
blade in a previous cut.

8. At the start of the cut line, lower the blade

back into the cut and make a second,
deeper pass across the entire cutting line.

9. Continue the step-cut process to reach the

maximum depth. DO NOT cut any deeper
than required.

Making a Cut Using the Blade Depth Stop

1. Align the blade and cutting guide(s) with

the cut line.

2. Turn on the water and adjust the water flow

by pushing the water valve handle forward.

3. Start the engine and allow to idle briefly

before going to full power.

4. Lower the blade to just above the cutting

surface and zero the blade by pressing the
“Zero Blade” button on the display panel.

Slowly lower the blade into the surface to
no more than 2” deep and press the “Set
Depth Stop” button on the display panel.
Make the initial pass across the entire
cutting line using the most effective travel
speed. If the blade is coming up out of the
cut, decrease travel speed and/or feed
depth.

DO NOT CUT FULL DEPTH IN

ONE PASS

Raise the blade out of the cut and
reposition the saw at the start of the cut.
DO NOT move backwards with the blade in
a previous cut.

8. Press the “Clear Depth Stop” button on the

display panel to reset the depth stop to
zero.

9. Slowly lower the blade into the cut until the

desired depth is reached and then press
the “Set Depth Stop” button on the control
panel.

10. Continue the step-cut process using the

depth stop to reach the maximum depth.
DO NOT cut any deeper than required.

Continuing a Partial-Cut

1. Maneuver the saw to the desired location.
2. Align the blade with the previous cut and

slowly lower the blade back into the
concrete. Use extreme caution to make
sure the blade is perfectly aligned within
the cut. DO NOT continue cutting until the
blade is aligned within the cut!

3. Continue the step-cut process (using the

blade depth stop if preferred) to reach the
maximum depth. DO NOT cut any deeper
than required.

Finishing a Cut

1. Place the speed control lever at

Stop

2. Raise the blade from the cut (provide

proper ground clearance).

3. Turn off the water control valve.
4. Always operate the engine briefly at idle

speed before stopping it.
