CHAINS & BARS TO CUT CONCRETE, BRICK, BLOCK OR EVEN DUCTILE IRON PIPE. IS THE WATER REQUIREMENT DIFFERENT FOR THESE? The water requirement for using the ICS diamond chain or the ICS Powergrit chain to cut any of the above is the same however if you can use more water, especially when cutting abrasive things like brick and block, more water helps to add to longer chain and guidebar life because it is flushing the abrasive materials away. WHAT IF IT IS FREEZING OR BELOW FREEZING AND I CANNOT GET WATER TO MY POWER CUTTER BECAUSE THE HOSE OR POWER CUTTER IS FROZEN AND PLUGGED UP…CAN I MAKE MY CUT? Water, as previously stated, is crucial to the performance of these chains. There are several different anti-freeze products you can use in this situation. Contact your regulatory agency for specific details. WHEN DO I NEED TO REPLACE DRIVE SPROCKET? Drive sprockets need to be replaced when the groove has worn 50% of the way through the top of the sprocket tooth. A rule of thumb, for the ICS petrol power cutters, is every 2-4 chains and for the ICS hydraulic power cutters, is every 7-9 chains (depending on chain chassis). PETROL HYDRAULIC NEW UNUSABLE NEEDS REPLACING NEW CAN A DIAMOND CHAIN CUT REBAR? NEEDS UNUSABLE REPLACING Yes, 12 or 16 mm bar is not a problem. Anything over 25 mm is difficult. Large amounts of rebar will reduce chain life. Caution: rebar must be surrounded by concrete or aggregate material. WILL POWERGRIT CUT STEEL? PowerGrit pipe cutting chain is designed to cut ductile iron pipe, cast iron pipe, HDPE and PVC. WHAT IS THE MIXTURE RATIO OF FUEL TO OIL? Consult your operator manual for the proper fuel to oil mix recommendation. WHAT STEPS SHOULD I TAKE DAILY TO MAINTAIN MY POWER CUTTER? After each use, rinse the power cutter, bar and chain with water. Inspect all fasteners, sprocket, starter rope and air filter for wear. Oil the guidebar, diamond chain and bar nose sprocket and grease the chain tensioner. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BREAK IN A NEW CHAIN? Opening up the diamonds will increase the cutting speed. To do this, make a few cuts into an abrasive material like cinder block. For more information and to view instructional videos, please visit: icsdiamondtools.com ICSDIAMONDTOOLS.COM 35
