Helpful Hints Prior to Cutting
Keep the following in mind for better efficiency
while cutting:
•
Use just enough handle pressure to guide
the saw down the cutting line. DO NOT
forcibly direct (twist) the saw from side to
side when cutting. DO NOT jam, cock, or
wedge the blade in a cut.
•
Moving too quickly when cutting may stall
the saw or may cause the blade to climb
out from the cut. If the saw stalls while
cutting, put the saw in STOP and raise the
blade from the cut to restart the engine.
•
Avoid sawing excessively deep to preserve
the blade and reduce sawing costs.
•
DO NOT lower the blade too quickly or
move the saw forward too quickly when
finishing a partial cut to avoid forcing the
blade into the concrete.
•
Always have a proper water flow when
cutting for maximum blade efficiency. Using
too much water when cutting will make the
slurry look clear. Not using enough water
will make the slurry look thick and pasty.
•
Refer to the Diamond Products’ Guide for
Professional Concrete Cutters for
additional cutting tips and information.
Tasks Prior to Cutting
Complete the following tasks prior to cutting:
•
Align the cutting guide(s) with the blade.
•
Clearly mark the cutting line.
•
Turn off all electricity, gas, and water
around the direct work area.
Making a Cut
1. Align the blade and cutting guide(s) with
the cutting line.
2. Turn on the water and adjust the water
flow.
3. Turn on the
Water Pressure
switch
(Optional).
4. Turn on the
Water Pump
switch if needed.
5. Lower the blade to just above the cutting
surface and set the cutting depth indicator
at zero.
Cutting Depth Indicator
6. Slowly lower the blade into the concrete
surface to a depth of two inches for the
initial cut. Make the two-inch deep pass
across the entire cutting line using the most
efficient blade speed and traveling speed.
DO NOT cut to the maximum depth in one
pass.
Note: Always use the step-cut method when
cutting for maximum efficiency. For example,
when cutting to a depth of ten inches, begin
with a two-inch deep pass, then a four-inch
deep pass, and finish with another four-inch
deep pass to complete the cut.
7. Raise the blade out of the cut and
reposition the saw at the end of the cut. DO
NOT move backwards in a previous cut.
8. Starting at the end of the cut, lower the
blade back into the cut and make another
two-inch deep pass or a deeper pass
across the entire cutting line.
Note: When not using the depth stop, pay
attention to the cutting depth indicator at all
times when lowering the blade back into the
cut or when making a new cut, as the blade will
not automatically stop at the desired depth.
9. Raise the blade out of the cut, reposition
the saw, and continue the step-cut process
to reach the maximum depth. DO NOT cut
any deeper than required.
