5 Sample Applications
► Work along the cutting line. When making cor‐
rections, do not tilt the abrasive cutting wheel,
but always set the abrasive cutting wheel
against the workpiece anew – the cutting
depth for each operation should not exceed
2 cm. Cut thicker material in multiple passes
5.6 Cutting plates
► Secure the plate (e. g. on a non-slip surface,
sandbed)
► Cut a guide groove (A) along the line marked
► Make the cut (B) deeper
► Leave a "hinge" (C)
► First sever the plate at the cut ends so that no
material breaks away
► Break plate
► Make curves in multiple passes – make certain
that the abrasive cutting wheel does not tilt

5.7 Cutting pipes, round and hollow
bodies
► Secure pipes, round and hollow bodies
against vibrations, slipping and rolling away
► Note direction of fall and weight of the severed
part
► Determine and mark the cutting line, avoid
reinforcements, especially in the direction of
the severing cut
► Determine sequence of severing cuts
► Cut 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 cutting 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
5.8 Cutting concrete pipe
The procedure is dependent on the outer diame‐
ter of the pipe and the maximum possible cutting
depth of the abrasive cutting 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
