N Use the front and upper part of the
abrasive wheel for cutting the
opposite lower side. Make sure that
the cut at the bottom is complete.
N Next, make a first lateral cut on the
top half of the pipe, connecting with
the kerf from the bottom half.
N A second lateral cut is then made in
the marked area. To keep the pipe
from pinching during this cut, never
cut into the area of the final cut.
Only make the final top cut once all
bottom and lateral cuts have been
completed and connect with one
another.
N Always make the final separating
cut from the top (approx. 15 % of the
pipe circumference). If the
workpiece is properly supported, it
should not pinch when the cut is
completed. If there is any residual
pinching, however, it will be at the
bottom of the wheel, where it may
result in pull-away, but not in
kickback. Be alert for pull-away.
Concrete pipe – cut recess
Sequence of cuts (1 to 4) is important:
N First, cut hard-to-reach areas.
N Always make severing cuts so that
the abrasive wheel is not pinched.
N Use wedges and/or leave ridges
that are broken after cutting.
N If the severed part remains in the
recess after cutting (due to wedges,
ridges used), do not make any
further cuts – break the severed
part.
