5 minHow to use the concrete saw
The saw makes clean joints and cuts in concrete and asphalt. Wet cutting, a diamond blade and depth in passes: that's how the blade lasts and the cut runs straight.

- 01
Right diamond blade
A concrete or an asphalt blade for the material. Mount it in the rotation direction shown by the arrow.
- 02
Fill water and open the spray
Always wet cutting: water cools the blade, controls dust and extends its life. Check flow on both sides.
- 03
Mark the line
Snap a chalk or string line. Align the saw's front guide with the mark.
- 04
Lower in passes, not all at once
Cut in partial depths (2–5 cm per pass) to full depth. Forcing it in one go burns the blade and wanders off line.
- 05
Control joints on time
On a slab, cut control joints early (once it bears) at ~1/4 of the thickness, so cracking starts where you want it.
Do this
- Always wet cut, with water on both faces of the blade.
- Advance evenly, letting the blade cut at its pace.
- Control-joint depth ≈ 1/4 of the slab thickness.
Avoid this
- Don't dry-cut a blade meant for water: you ruin it.
- Don't force full depth in a single pass.
- Don't twist the saw in the kerf: the blade binds or shatters.
Safety
- Glasses, face shield, hearing protection and dust respirator.
- Blade guard always on; never remove it.
- Blade fully stopped before lifting or transporting.
