- Apply steady pressure and keep the blade angled slightly forward.
Using Circular Saw (Fabric or Steel Cable)
- Use a carbide-tipped blade.
- Secure belt firmly.
- Cut slowly to avoid overheating.
- Spray light water mist to reduce dust and heat (if safe to do so).
Using Demolition Saw (Fabric or Steel Cable)
- Use an abrasive or diamond blade rated for rubber/metal.
- Clamp belt tightly.
- Expect sparks if steel reinforcement is present.
