OPERATION
OPERATING THE DIAMOND CHAINSAW IN CONCRETE
• When cutting into concrete, plunge cut instead of starting at the top
of the wall. This will reduce chatter, extend diamond life, create a
straighter cut and more quickly enable the use of the Wallwalker®.
• Always operate a diamond saw at full throttle. If too much force is
applied, the saw will lug or stall and the chain will not have enough
speed to cut eff ectively. If too little force is applied, the diamonds will
skid and glaze over.
• For the straightest cuts use the “step cut” method. First score the
entire cut line with the nose of the bar approximately ½ 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 bar for a straight cut.
Then plunge all the way through and complete the cut using the
Wallwalker®.
• Use the Wallwalker to cut effi ciently and reduce operator fatigue. The
Wallwalker when extended is a fulcrum that converts inward force to
downward force and will develop a 4-to-1 mechanical advantage. To
use correctly, plunge into the wall and simply engage the point of the
Wallwalker into the cut and push straight in. The Wallwalker will force
the saw to feed down.
