: Curves must be cut in several 
straight passes, taking care to 
ensure that the cutting wheel does 
not become wedged.
Cutting round and hollow 
workpieces
: Pipes and round objects, etc. must 
be secured so that they cannot roll.
: Avoid reinforcing elements, 
especially in the direction of the cut, 
when deciding on the cutting line.
: Cut a guiding groove along the 
marked line.
: Cut deeper into the parting cut with 
uniform back-and-forth movements.  
Advance the cutting wheel along the 
guiding groove at full cutting depth.  
Always reposition the cutting wheel, 
taking care not to wedge it, if the 
cutting direction has to be corrected 
slightly.  If necessary, leave small 
ridges of uncut material to hold the 
severed part in position.  These 
ridges can subsequently be broken 
through.
Cutting shapes on pipes
: Mark the cutting line.
!Warning!
Particular care and precision are 
required for free-hand cutting along such 
cutting lines. Avoid side-loading the 
wheel or causing it to bind.
: Cut a guiding groove along the 
marked cutting line, starting at the 
top and moving out towards both 
sides.
: Cut into the pipe or round object, 
etc. at the ends of the cutting line so 
that the material does not chip.
