PLANNING THE CUT
• Select the proper chain for the material being cut.
• Outline the cut with a permanent marker for a visual cutting guide.
• Avoid pinching the bar and chain. Always cut the bottom of an opening fi rst,
then top, and then the sides. Save the easiest cut for last.
OPERATION
If cutting pipe with PowerGrit® be sure the cut line stays open by providing
proper pipe support. Also check for neighboring utilities or obstructions.
Concrete is very heavy, 1 cubic foot (30 cubic cm) weighs 150 lbs (68 kg). Be
sure to cut so that concrete cannot fall and injure operator or bystanders.
Check for live electrical wiring near the cutting area or in the concrete to
avoid electrocution which can result in death or serious personal injury.
