IMPORTANT!
Always wear approved respiratory protection!
Asbestos and other materials that can release
toxic substances may be cut only after notifying
the proper authorities and under their supervision
or that of a person appointed by them. When
cutting prestressed and reinforced concrete piles,
follow the instructions and standards of the
responsible authorities or the builder of the
structural member. Reinforcement rods must be
cut in the prescribed sequence and in accordance
with applicable safety regulations.
NOTE!
Mortar, stone, and concrete develop large quantities of
dust during cutting. To increase the lifetime of the
cutting disc (by cooling), to improve visibility, and to
avoid
excessive
dust
creation,
we
strongly
recommend wet cutting instead of dry cutting.
In wet cutting, the disc is wetted at an equal rate on
both sides by a trickle of water. WACKER offers the
right accessories for all wet cutting applications (see
also “SPECIAL ACCESSORIES“).
-
Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and
nails found within the working area. Caution: Watch
out for electric wires and cables!
The rapid rotation of the cutting disc at the point of
contact throws fragments out of the cut groove at
high speed. For your safety, swing the protection
hood down as far as possible behind the cut (23),
so that material fragments are thrown forward,
away from the operator.
-
Mark the cut, and then make a groove about 5 mm
(just under 1/5“) along the entire length of the planned
cut. This groove will then guide the Power Cut
accurately guring the actual cutoff.
NOTE:
For long, straight cuts we recommend using a trolley
(24, see also “SPECIAL ACCESSORIES“). This
makes it much easier to guide the unit straight.
