DO YOU USE A PETROL CUT-OFF SAW TO CUT SLABS OR BLOCK-PAVING?Working everyday with the safer use ofpetrol saws, BRICKWOKER are regularlyasked by Professional Landscapers aboutcutting paving slabs using a cut-off saw(or disc cutter). Here is why theBRICKWORKER Slab Cutting Guide is theanswer to the their key questions.
We need to cut a straight line in the rightplace? – Some landscapers tell you theycan cut a straight line in the correctposition, some tell you many factorsmean it’s not always that simple. If you lock a Slab Cutting Guide on to the slab at the start and finish marks, not only will you cut straight andaccurate, you will cut quicker.
I really want to be cutting ‘wet’ tosuppress dust? – Dust on any site (even aresidential garden) is a major issue, the saw usercan be risking a serious fine by cutting dry. Slabs are usually ‘dry cut’ because if you use watersuppression you cannot follow your own line. TheSlab Cutting Guide allows you to cut wet using apertol saw (not an electric grinder) because youare not following a line, you follow an edge.
How can the saw be used more safely? –Safety is a major consideration with petrolsaws and in many instances ProfessionalLandscapers often feel that using a petrol saw‘freehand’ can risk accidents. The Slab CuttingGuide gives you an edge to cut to and greatlyreduces the chance of a ‘kick-out’ of loss of control.You can also do the new 'Cut-off SawTraining Certificate' offered by the CITB andbecome a qualified saw operator.I want my labourer/assistant to do all ourcutting? – Many Professional Landscapersdon’t get anyone else to cut because ofthese reasons. This means they have tokeep stopping to make a cut themselves.The Slab Cutting Guide gives them the toolto allow others to cut the slabs.
