English
► Note direction of fall and weight of the severed
part
► Determine and mark the cutting line, avoid
reinforcement, especially in the direction of the
severing cut
► Determine sequence of severing cuts
► Grind a guide groove along the line marked
► Make cut deeper along the guide groove –
observe the recommended cutting depth for
each operation – for small corrections of direc‐
tion, 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
3.7 Cutting concrete pipe
A
The procedure is dependent on the outer diame‐
ter of the pipe and the maximum possible cutting
depth of the abrasive wheel (A).
► Secure pipe against vibrations, slipping and
rolling away
► Note weight, tension and direction of fall of the
part to be severed
► Determine and mark direction of cut
► Determine sequence of cuts

Outer diameter is smaller than the maximum cut‐
ting depth
► Make one cut from the top to the bottom
Outer diameter is greater than the maximum cut‐
ting depth
Plan first, then cut. Several cuts are needed –
correct sequence is important.
► Turn guard at rear stop
► Always start at the bottom, use the upper
quarter of the abrasive wheel for cutting
► Use the upper quarter of the abrasive wheel
for cutting the opposite lower side.
