Starting the motor:
1. Start the engine with the blade elevated above the cutting surface.
2. Position the machine in the direction you wish to cut, drop the metal cut guide.
3. Before you start cutting open the water valve, The blade should receive the correct amount of water to
be able to cool the blade down. A badly cooled blade will not last as long.
4. With the motor at maximum throttle, lower the machine until the blade achieves the desired cutting
depth. Push the machine forward slightly as you are doing this so that the initial cut is not exaggerated
5. Once the correct cutting depth is achieved, push the machine along the predetermined cutting line. The
speed of cut should not exceed the limitations of the blade based on depth of cut and the material being
cut. If the blade is trying to rise out of the groove it is due to excessive force.
Don´t try to correct cutting mistakes by forcing the machine as this will result in damaging the blade .
To stop the machine raise the blade up a few centimeters above the ground. Never stop the engine while
the blade is cutting.
If for any reason the machine is stopped while the blade is cutting, never try to start the machine again
while the blade is cutting. The blade should always be out of the ground when cutting.
