Concrete Cutting
WARNING
• DO NOT expose yourself or
anyone else to the direct line
of the blade when cutting.
• Turn off all electricity, gas,
and water around the work area prior to
cutting.
• When using an electric motor saw, be
aware of all electrical lines in the area
when power is necessary.
Helpful Hints Prior to Cutting
Keep the following in mind for greater efficiency
when cutting:
• Use just enough handle pressure to guide saw
on the cutting line. DO NOT forcibly direct
(twist) saw from side-to-side when cutting.
• Avoid sawing excessively deep to preserve the
blade and reduce sawing costs.
• Moving too quickly when cutting may stall the
saw or may cause the blade to climb out from
the cut. If the saw stalls at any time, raise blade
from the cut and restart engine.
• DO NOT lower the blade too quickly or push the
saw forward too quickly when finishing a partial-
cut to avoid forcing the blade into the concrete.
Tasks Prior to Cutting
Complete the following tasks prior to cutting:
• Raise the blade to provide proper clearance
between the blade and the ground when
maneuvering saw.
• Align pointer assembly with the blade.
• Clearly mark the cutting line.
• Be sure the work area does not contain any
buried or embedded electrical, gas, or water
lines.
