Stihl TSA 230 Instruction Manual page 55

Make curves in multiple operations
N
– make certain that the abrasive
wheel does not tilt
Cutting pipes, round and hollow bodies
Secure pipes, round and hollow
N
bodies against vibrations, slipping
and rolling away
Note direction of fall and weight of
N
the severed part
Determine and mark the cutting line,
N
avoid reinforcement, especially in
the direction of the severing cut
Determine sequence of severing
N
cuts
Grind a guide groove along the line
N
marked
Make cut deeper along the guide
N
groove – observe the recommended
cutting depth for each operation –
for small corrections of direction, do
not tilt the abrasive wheel, but
always position it anew instead – if
necessary, leave small ridges that
hold the part that is to be separated
in position. Break these ridges after
the last planned cut
TSA 230
Cutting concrete pipe
The procedure is dependent on the
outer diameter of the pipe and the
maximum possible cutting depth of the
abrasive wheel (A).
Secure pipe against vibrations,
N
slipping and rolling away
Note weight, tension and direction
N
of fall of the part to be severed
Determine and mark direction of cut
N
Determine sequence of cuts
N
Outer diameter is smaller than the
maximum cutting depth
Make one cut from the top to the
N
bottom
Outer diameter is greater than the
maximum cutting depth
Plan first, then cut. Several cuts are
needed – correct sequence is important.
Always start at the bottom, use the
N
upper quarter of the abrasive wheel
for cutting
