PLANNING THE CUT
The following steps are recommended to maximize cutting efficiency, productivity and
assure safety:
• Outline the cut with a permanent marker.
• Layout concrete anchor marks 3
1
⁄4 inches (8.3 cm) inside each cut line.
• Set the anchors. Caution: The anchor bolts cannot protrude out of the wall more than 3/8 inches
(1 cm) or interference with the SpeedHook
®
mounting bracket (on the saw) can occur.
• Cutting sequence: Always start with the right-hand side cut first, then the bottom and then the
top. Save the left-hand side cut for last. Using this sequence you will only need to reverse the
axle for the last cut.
• Be sure cut concrete cannot fall and injure operator or bystanders.
• Check for live electrical wiring near cutting areas or in the concrete to avoid electrocution which
can result in death or serious injury.
MOUNTING THE SPEEDHOOK
®
TO WALL
• Loosely attach the rail to the wall so that the horizontal and vertical adjustments can be made.
• Position the rail so that the scribe line near the bottom of the rail is where you want the cut to end.
• Position the outside of the rail exactly 1½ inches (3.8 cm) from the center of the cut line and
securely tighten the anchors, using thick fender washers.
• Do not flex SpeedHook
®
to the wall when gaps exist. Instead, shim gaps between SpeedHook
®
and wall.
MAKING THE CUT
• Engage the axle into the hook of the rail near the beginning of the cut.
• Rotate lever arm to engage the cams, locking the axle firmly in place.
• Rev up the saw to full RPM.
• Slowly rotate the saw into the wall making sure the cut starts exactly on the cut line.
• As the saw approaches the end of its rotation, keep the chain running and index the next set of
hooks. It is easier to index if the saw has not reached a full 90 degrees.
