Mechanism Lock Lever
The lock lever (item 27 - page 11) is located on
the rear left side of the mechanism.
When engaged, it locks the system (item 35 –
page 12) in either the full forward or the full
back position and prevents movement while
transporting the saw. When held in the full back
position, the saw is more compact for lifting
and storage. The full back position is often used
while performing chop cuts.
To Engage the Lock Lever
Saw in the Full Back Position – (Fig. 13)
1. Grasp the saw's main handle (item 3 - page
11) and push (slide) the head assembly
back as far as it goes. The upper housings
will be upright and closed.
2. Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage its
wedge into the joint area between the two
lower housings. Release the lock lever tab
and the main handle. The head assembly
will be locked in the full back position.
Saw in the Full Forward Position – (Fig. 14)
1. Grasp the main handle (item 3 - page 11)
and pull (slide) the head assembly toward
you as far as it goes. The mechanism will be
fully extended.
2. Lift the tab on the lock lever to engage its
wedge into the joint area between the two
lower housings. Release the lock lever tab
and the main handle. The head assembly
will be locked in the full forward position.
From Back or Forward Positions – (Fig. 15)
1. Grip the tab on the lock lever and press
down until its wedge comes out from be-
tween the two lower housings. Release your
grip; the mechanism is now free to slide for-
ward and back.
