5. Grasp the starter grip (Figure 23) and slowly pull it out.
The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain posi-
tion, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the
starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.
DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end. DO
NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to
rewind as soon as possible. Failure to do so could
damage your engine.
6. If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever
(Figure 21) to the OPEN position. If the engine has not
started repeat steps 1 through 5.
7. Before the saw is placed into operation, run the engine
for several minutes. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that
would associate with loose guards and/or covers.
8. Gradually move the engine throttle lever toward the
fast
position. (
All cutting should be done at full
throttle
).
MP2 MASONRY SAW — STARTUP/SHUTDOWN (GASOLINE ENGINE)
ALWAYS
cut with the saw at FULL THROTTLE.
Attempting to cut with the saw at less than full throttle
could cause the blade to bind or stop abruptly in the
slab resulting in serious injury to the operator or others
in the area.
9. Avoid overloading the engine when cutting. In the event
that the engine becomes overloaded, turn the engine
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position (Figure 25) and
allow the engine to
cool
before attempting to restart.
Stopping the Engine
1. Set the engine throttle lever to
slow
speed and let the
engine idle for 3-5 minutes.
2. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch to the OFF position
(Figure 25).
3. Place the fuel valve lever in the
closed
position.
4. Let the engine cool.
5. Using a soft cloth, clean any excess debris or residue
that may have accumulated on the saw.
6. Store saw in a clean dry location where it will be out of
the reach of children.
