Operation
The guide cut
The initial cut, known as the guide cut, must always be
made with the saw arm in the trailing position (see illus-
tration above). Depending on the base material (hard,
soft or masonry) the guide cut may be made to a depth
of between 2 and 4 cm. The guide cut should be made
at approx. 65% power. This will prevent the blade from
wandering and ensure a straight cut.
Subsequent cuts
After the guide cut, subsequent cuts can be made with
the saw arm in the trailing or leading position. The depth
of cut, on the other hand, depends greatly on the mate-
rial being cut but should be between 4 and 7 cm.

Cutting depth
In applications where concrete walls with a thickness of
up to approx. 15 cm are to be cut, we recommend, as a
basic rule, use of the 500 mm dia. blade (max. cutting
depth 18cm).
When cutting to a greater depth in concrete, always use
the 500 mm dia. blade to make the initial guide cut.
When a greater cutting depth is required, the maximum
depth of 28/30 cm can be achieved by changing to the
700/745 mm dia. blade.
Control of advance movement
The intelligent advance control operates automatically
when set to the maximum position. This means that the
