7.1 Standard vertical cut
– Optimum cutting length
– No tight diamond wire radius in the
concrete
– Average cutting performance
– Normal rate of wire wear
7.2 Vertical cut with release
pulley
1
st
step
– Relatively short cutting / contact
length
– High cutting performance
– High rate of wire wear
Note
When the kerf is at the
height of
pulley
, the pulley should be
turned and positioned below the
wire.
2
nd
step
Note
At the end of the cut, when the dia-
mond wire is pulled out of the kerf, it
is
caught by pulleys
and
.
– No danger of the wire lashing
back
– Avoids damage to the wire
Note
The optimum cutting length for the Hilti DS-WSS 30 wire saw system is 1 to 4.5 metres, i.e the diamond wire is
in contact with the workpiece over a length of 1 to 4.5 metres.
