CUTTING WITH THE POWER CUTTER
CONCRETE/MASONRY CUTTING
Planning the Cut
1.
Select the proper chain type for the material being cut. Refer to the chain
selection guide in this manual (page 32).
2.
Outline the cut with a permanent marker for a visual cutting guide.
WARNING
3.
Avoid pinching the guidebar and chain by using shims or
other anchoring devices to stabilize the workpiece. Always
plan to cut the bottom of an opening first, then
top or sides. Save the easiest cut for last. (see
image at right)
4.
Be sure cut concrete cannot fall and injure the operator
or bystanders. As the cut is being completed, assure that
appropriate bracing is in place to control the cut section
of the workpiece. Concrete is very heavy,
one cubic foot = 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm = 68 kg (12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 150 lbs)
