Cutters Edge D-8 & D-6 Guard/Depth Gauge
Installation, Operation & Maintenance
*Cutters Edge D-8 & D-6 Guard/Depth Gauge
The Cutters Edge D-8 Guard/Depth Gauge has been
designed, engineered and carefully tested to provide you
with increased safety and efficiency in firefighting applica-
tions.
While in its fully extended position, the D-8 completely
covers the guide bar and cutting chain, protecting you from
accidental contact with the spinning chain. Even while
retracted and set for specific depths of cut, the D-8 covers
all but that chain at the tip exposed for cutting.
The D-8 allows you to set a specific depth of cut, preventing
you from cutting any deeper than is absolutely necessary.
This prevents you from weakening the roof structure and
prevents exposure to hidden hazards like electrical wiring.
These features of the D-8 are designed to provide you with
i
ncreased confidence as you make your ventilation cuts.
*D-8 fits 20" bar, has 8" maximum cutting depth.

*D-6 fits 16" bar, has 6" maximum cutting depth.
