Operation
This saw is a rugged and dependable tool when used and maintained properly. Many of these saws have been in daily service for years and
are still in good working order. As with any tool, good operating procedure is important for tool life and operator safety.
Operating Procedure
1. Set pin placement for the size hose you are cutting using the following guide:
2. Start the saw and let the motor come up to full speed. This is most important with the DC saws as they take a moment to “ramp up”.
Cutting before they’re at full speed can cause very high amperage draw and shorten the life of the motor.
3. Push the hose into the saw with steady, even pressure. Let the blade do its’ job by cutting the hose not ripping it. This becomes more
important as the hose size becomes larger, especially with the 6 wire multi-spiral hose. If there is a lot of smoke and sparks you may be
forcing the hose too fast or the blade may be excessively dull.
After the hose is cut, be careful as the blade spins down to a stop.
A coasting blade is still dangerous!
4. Examine the hose. Look at the squareness and how clean the cut is. A good cut goes a long way toward making a strong hose
assembly.

*This guide only “suggests” the best possible pin placement, as there are variables such as new or used hose, brands of hose,
braided or spiral wire reinforcement (4 or 6 wire multi-spiral). As an operator you will learn the best pin placement for the hose
you are cutting. Remember that the cut hose should be square and clean.
