English
– If possible, avoid using the upper quarter of
the abrasive cutting wheel for cutting. Use
extreme caution when guiding the abrasive
cutting wheel into a cut, do not twist or push
into the cut
– Avoid any wedge effect - the severed part
must not brake the abrasive cutting wheel
– Always be aware that the object to be cut may
move and other factors may cause the cut to
close and jam the abrasive cutting wheel.
– The object to be cut must be secured and sup‐
ported so that the kerf remains open during
and after cutting
– Objects to be cut must therefore be fully sup‐
ported and must be secured against rolling
away, slipping off or vibrations
– Support an uncovered pipe stable and solid, if
necessary, use wedges – always bear in mind
a proper support and ground – material may
crumble away,
– Always work with water and wet cutting when
using diamond abrasive wheels
– Depending on the version, composite resin
abrasive cutting wheels are suitable only for
dry cutting or only for wet cutting. Always use
wet cutting with composite resin abrasive cut‐
ting wheels that are suitable only for wet cut‐
ting
