CUTTING WITH THE RZ60C CHOP SAW
To start a cut, hold trigger on full throttle and slowly plunge the blade straight into the wall.
CUTTING TIPS
• Always operate the saw at full throttle. Apply enough feed force so that the free running RPM
drops 20 to 30%. If too much force is applied, the saw will lug or stall. The blade will not have
enough speed to cut effectively. If too little feed force is applied, the diamonds will skid and glaze
over.
• For straighter cuts use the “step cut” method. First score the entire cut line with the blade
approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) to 1 inch (25 mm) deep. Next, deepen the cut by about 2 inches
(50 mm). This groove will help guide the blade for a straight cut. Then complete the cut.
• Plunge cut instead of starting at the top of the wall. This will reduce chatter, extend blade life,
create a straighter cut.
• When cutting heavy rebar, move the blade in and out of the steel so that the blade is always
cutting concrete as well as steel. This will help keep the diamonds exposed. Also, expect less
diamond blade life when cutting heavy rebar.
