while the blade is still in the cut:
a. Turn engine Shutdown switch on handlebar to the
"OFF" position.
b. Raise the blade out of the cut
c. Restart the engine as described in the Start-Up
sections.
If cutting is interrupted where the blade is stuck in the cut:
a. Turn Engine Off switches to "OFF".
b. Remove the blade guard.
c. Remove blade mounting bolt and outer flange.
d. Maneuver the saw away from the stuck blade.
e. A parallel cut made next to the blade may be necessary
to free it.
f. Once the blade is freed inspect the blade for damage;
discard if damaged.
e Ensure an undamaged, useable blade is installed on
the saw before cutting is resumed with that saw.
The only acceptable method for freeing a stuck blade is to
remove the saw from the stuck or pinched blade. DO
NOT try to get the blade unstuck using the Raise/Lower
system or by lifting the saw by the lifting bale, etc.
