Operation
This saw is a rugged and dependable tool when used and
maintained properly. Many of these saws have been in daily
service for years and are still in good working order. As with any
tool, good operating procedure is important for tool life and
operator safety.
Operating Procedure
1.
Set pin placement for the size hose you are cutting using
the Pin Placement Guide* on the right:
2.
Start the saw and let the motor come up to full speed.
Cutting before full speed can cause very high amperage
draw and shorten the life of the motor.
3.
Pull the saw head down over the hose with steady and even
pressure. Let the blade do the job by cutting the hose not
ripping it. This becomes more important as the hose size
becomes larger. If you notice a large amount of smoke and
sparking, you may be forcing the hose too fast or the blade
may be excessively dull.
4.
Examine the hose. Look at the squareness and how clean the
cut is. A good cut goes a long way toward making a strong
hose assembly.
*This guide only recommends the potential optimal
pin placement, but variables, such as hose condi-
tion (new or used), hose brand (standard or pre-
mium), hose reinforcement (braided or spiral), and
hose cover type can impact optimal positioning. As
an operator you will learn the best pin placement
for the hose you are cutting. Remember that the cut
hose should be square and clean.

After the hose is cut, be careful as the blade
spins down to a stop. A coasting blade is still
dangerous!
