English
Work along the cutting line. If
N
corrections are necessary, always
reposition the cutting wheel, taking
care to ensure that it is not wedged.
The cutting depth per pass should
not exceed 5 to 6 cm (2" to 2 1/2").
Thicker material must be cut in
several passes.
Cutting slabs
Secure the slab (e. g. on a non-slip
N
surface, sandbed).
Cut a guiding groove (A) along the
N
marked line.
18
Cut deeper into the parting cut (B).
N
Leave a ridge (C) of uncut material.
N
Cut through the slab at the ends so
N
the material does not chip.
Then break the slab.
N
Curves must be cut in several
N
straight passes, taking care to
ensure that the cutting wheel does
not become wedged.
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 metal reinforcement to the
extent possible, especially in the
direction of the severing cut.
Determine sequence of severing
N
cuts.
Grind a guide groove along the line
N
marked.
Make cuts deeper along the guide
N
groove – observe recommended
cutting depth on each pass. 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
manually after the last cut.
Cutting concrete pipe
A
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.
