Safety information
4.10.4 Cut large rods in stages (20).
4.10.5 Thin pipes can be cut with a simple downward cut.
4.10.6 Treat large diameter pipes as large rods. To avoid canting and for bet-
ter control of the cutting process, do not allow the cutting blade to cut
too deep into the material. Always make shallow cuts around the pe-
rimeter.
4.10.7 Worn cutting blades with a small diameter have a lower peripheral
speed at the same engine speed and do not cut as well.
4.10.8 Cut double T-girders or angle steel in stages. See illustration 21.
4.10.9 Cut steel strips or sheets like pipes: pull evenly and use a long cutting
surface.
