Carry out the cut pushing the machine straight on the line traced.
should choose the correct speed depending on the type of material to be cut and
on the cutting depth.
If the engine stops, pull out the blade completely before starting it again.
If the blade needs to be lowered on a cut that has been partially carried out,
ensure correct alignment before starting the engine.
Upon completion of the cutting operation, raise the blade, turn o the engine
and close the water tap.

16- MAINTENANCE
