Using the Mechanism Lock Lever
MECHANISM LOCK LEVER
The lock lever 27 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.
