Sample Applications

Use diamond abrasive
chain only with water.
Connect concrete cutter
to water supply network
(min. 1.5 bar).
The water introduced is used to cool the
diamond abrasive chain and rinse the
cutting attachment, and for binding dust.
After finishing work, run the concrete
cutter for a few seconds with water and
at operating speed to rinse the cutting
attachment.
If the water pressure or water volume is
too low, this leads to significantly
increased wear and irreparable damage
to the cutting attachment – danger of
breakage!
Objects to be cut
Must be fully supported
–
Must be secured so it cannot roll or
–
slip off
Must be prevented from vibrating
–
Severed parts
With openings, recesses, etc., the
sequence of the cuts is important.
Always make the last cut so that the
diamond abrasive chain does not
become jammed and so that the
operator is not endangered by the
severed or separated part.
GS 461
If necessary, use wedges and if
necessary, leave small ridges that hold
the part that is to be separated in
position. Break these ridges later.
Before finally separating the part,
determine:
how heavy the part is
–
how it can move after separation
–
whether it is under tension
–
When breaking out the part, do not
endanger assistants.
Plunge-cutting
Begin cutting with the concrete cutter at
full throttle.
