#howtouseanelectriccutoffsaw: Whether it’s concrete or metal in your way, this electric saw is what you’ll need to remove it, and you can hire it from Speedy, the UK’s number one hire company.
A couple of good things to remember when hiring from Speedy, all our hire equipment is checked, tested, cleaned and serviced before every hire and will come ready to go. You will also notice a folder attached to your hire product, these are the safety and operating instructions, please make sure you read these before you begin your job.
Before you start using this machine, it is vitally important that you are wearing the correct PPE; goggles, gloves, a dust mask, safety boots and hearing protection are essential any PPE you do require can be purchased from Speedy.

When you receive your electric cut off saw the first thing you will need to do is fit your cutting disc, which you can purchase from your local Speedy Service Centre. You can get a few different types of cutting discs for this Saw, but these are a couple of our most popular. A metal cutting blade like this, or a diamond blade like this. The diamond blade is ideal for most jobs, but in particular for cutting concrete.
If you have any questions about what blade you need, just give your local Speedy service centre a call and let us know what you are doing, and we will be more than happy to help.
To attach your cutting disc, you’ll need hold down the button on the side here to lock the disc mechanism into place. You’ll then be able to remove the flange using the spanner provided and place the blade over the diameter of the shaft ensuring that the rotation cycle of the machine and the blade match up. You then simply put the flange back on and tighten it up to clamp the blade into position. It’s really important that the battery is removed from the cut off saw before you make any adjustments.
A great feature on this cut off saw is the ability to supress any dust by using this hose attachment to force water to the blade. You can either use a standard garden hose or ask Speedy for a pressurised water bottle with your hire
When your electric cut off saw arrives, you will be provided with a battery and a charger. The battery simply slots into the space on the top of the saw, be sure to push it down and listen out for the click.
To start using the cut off saw hold it with both hands. Once you are ready you will need to flick the switch at the front of the saw into the unlock position and then compress the safety switch by the handle and squeeze the trigger to activate the blade.
When you’ve finished with the saw, it’s really important that you flick the safety switch back into the lock position.
If you have any issues with any of the products you hire from Speedy, just give your local Service Centre a call, as we are always happy to help, and remember to always check the safety guidance before you use any hire product.
