Introduction
Owner responsibility
WARNING: Processing of concrete and
stone by methods such as cutting, grinding or drilling, especially during dry
operation, generates dust that comes from the material being processed, which
frequently contains silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick
clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Exposure to excessive
amount of such dust can cause:
Respiratory disease (affecting your ability to breathe), including chronic
bronchitis, silicosis and pulmonary fibrosis from exposure to silica. These
diseases may be fatal;
Skin irritation and rash.
Cancer according to NTP and IARC */ National Toxicology Program,
International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Take precautionary steps:
Avoid inhalation of and skin contact with dust, mist and fumes.
Wear and ensure that all bystanders wear appropriate respiratory protection
such as dust masks designed to filter out microscopic particles. (See OSHA 29
CFR Part 1926.1153)
To minimize dust emissions, use water to bind the dust, when feasible. If dry
operation is necessary, use an appropriate dust extractor.

Operation
Introduction
WARNING: Before you operate the
product, you must read and understand the safety chapter.
Basic working techniques
Contraction joints and joint spacing
As concrete hydrates or cures and begins to set, it develops internal stresses
which may cause random cracks.
Random cracks cast doubt on the quality and workmanship of the concrete.
Contraction joints are cut in concrete to relieve these stresses before they
seek their own relief in the form of random crack.
The Soff-Cut Ultra Early Entry system controls random cracking through the
early timing of a saw cut at predetermined locations to create weakened planes
in the concrete that subsequently crack at the bottom of the cut to relieve
stress.
Sawed contraction joints must be a minimum of of the concrete depth and a
minimum of 25 mm (1) deep.
Saw contraction joints when the concrete holds the weight of the product and
the operator. Make sure that the product does not make marks on or cause
damage to the concrete.
There are many possibilities for joint layout. Joint layout should be
provided, the saw contractor should submit a detailed joint layout for
approval prior to cutting.
There are many conditions that have an effect on joint spacing.
· Concrete thickness. · Type, amount and location of reinforcement. ·
Shrinkage potential of concrete-cement (type,
quantity), aggregate (size, quantity, quality), water to cement ratio,
admixtures, concrete temperature. · Base friction.
· Slab restraints. · Layout of foundations, racks, pits, equipment pad,
trenches, etc. · Environmental factors – temperature, wind, humidity. ·
Methods and quality of concrete curing.
Generally, contraction joint patterns should divide slabs into approximate
square panels per the recommended spacing shown in the table.
Concrete thickness, mm (in.) 90 (3.5) 100, 114 (4, 4.5) 125, 140 (5, 5.5) 150 (6) or greater
Maximum spacing, m (ft.)
2.4 (8) 3.0 (10) 3.6 (12) 4.5 (15)
At all intersecting cross cuts, install Husqvarna joint protectors at each
joint to prevent joint damage. Install an additional joint protector where the
right wheel will cross the joint to prevent concrete damage.
Maximizing the Soff-Cut system
“The timing of concrete operations – especially finishing and jointing – is
critical… Failure to address this issue can contribute to undesirable
characteristics in the wearing surface as cracking…” (Extract from the
foreword of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) 302.1 R-96.)
The Soff-Cut Ultra Early Entry system has revolutionized the method used to
control random cracking.
In order for an operator to do a satisfactory job using the Soff-Cut system,
the following criteria must be met:
· A Soff-Cut Ultra Early Entry dry up-cut saw. · A Husqvarna Soff-Cut dry-
cutting diamond blade. · A Husqvarna anti-ravel skid plate installed with
every
new diamond blade.
12
714 – 005 – 18.03.2022
· An operator skilled in using the Soff-Cut Ultra Early Entry cutting system.
Without this, joints can not be cut clearly enough to control random cracking
before it starts, which is what the building owner is paying for.
The ACI Spec 302.1R-96 says it best:
“Early-entry dry-cut saws use diamond-impregnated blades and a skid plate that
helps prevent spalling. Timely changing of skid plates is necessary to
effectively control spalling. It is best to change skid plates in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommendations…The goal of saw-cutting is to create a
weakened plane as soon as the joint can be cut…The timing of the early-entry
process allows joints to be in place prior to development of significant
tensile stress in the concrete…”
The Portland Cement Association (PCA) engineering bulletin, Concrete Floors on
the ground, also states:
“Proper jointing can eliminate unsightly random cracks. Aspects of joining
that lead to a good job are choosing the correct type of joint for each
location, establishing a good joint pattern and layout, and installing the
joint at the correct time… Timing of joint sawing is critical…Lightweight,
high-speed, early-cut saws have been developed to permit the joint sawing very
soon after floor finishing, sometimes within 0 to 2 hours…if the cut is sawn
within a few hours after the final finishing, random cracking can be
controlled…”
Husqvarna has the only Ultra Early Entry dry-cutting system (Soff-Cut) which
controls random cracking through the early timing of the cut. With the Soff-
Cut method, control joints are usually cut within 2 hours after the finishing
process.
Joint cutting should begin as soon as the concrete will support the weight of
the saw and the operator at each joint location and before final set.
If the joints are not being cut within this time frame then the Soff-Cut Ultra
Early Entry method is not being followed.
