andglazeover.
• Forstraightercutsusethe“stepcut”method.Firstscoretheentirecutlinewiththenoseofthe
guidebarapproximately1/2inch(12mm)to1inch(25mm)deep.Next,deepenthecutbyabout

.
• 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
®
.
• UsethefixedWallwalker
®
to help cut more efficiently
andreduceoperatorfatigue.ThefixedWallwalker
®
is
a fulcrum that can be used to apply additional force
when cutting. To use correctly, plunge into the wall
andsimplyengagethepointofthefixedWallwalker
®
into the cut and pry upward with the rear handle.
• Asthesawbeginstorotateup,feedforceisdeveloped
down the line of the intended cut. Once the saw is fully
rotated upwards, pull the saw out of the cut a few inches
andre-engagethepickintothecutandrepeat.
• Whencuttingheavyrebar,slowly”rock”thesawsothatyourealwayscuttingconcreteaswell
assteel.Thiswillhelpkeepthediamondsexposed.Also,expectlesschainlifewhencutting
heavy rebar.
• Expectmorechainstretchwhenmakingnoseburiedcutsforextendedperiodsoftime,asthe
chaindoesnothaveachanceto“throw”theslurryawayfromthenoseofthebar.
• Ifthesawbeginstocutconsistentlycrooked,turnthebaroverandusetheotherside.Dress
worn rails with belt sander. Note: The normal life of a guide bar is 2 to 3 diamond chains. Heavy
rebar can shorten guide bar life.
• Whenusinganewchain,youcanincreasethecuttingspeedby“openingupthediamonds.
Makeafewcutsinanabrasivematerialsuchasacinderblock.
