14 / CUTTERS EDGE FIRE RESCUE SAWS
Fig. 19. Depth of cut at forty-five degrees.
In Figure 19, above, the saw is set for a cut of
approximately 2" inches. At the proper cutting angle of 45
degrees, the saw penetrates to that depth.
But as you can see in Figure 20, below, the saw penetrates
another half-inch for each inch set on the D-8-in this case
another inch, down to approximately 3" inches-when the
cutting angle is raised to ninety degrees.

Removing the D-8.
The process to remove the D-8 for cleaning and/or to use
your Cutters Edge saw for conventional cutting purposes
is simple and basically a reversal of installation:
1. Set the chain brake on to lock the chain and bar in
position.
2.
Remove the adjusting knob.
3.
Pull off the outer section of the D-8.
4.
Remove the bar nuts.
5.
Remove the allen-head screws from the guard/deflector
side of the D-8.
6.
Pull off the inner section of the D-8.
7.
Rethread and retighten the bar nuts.
8.
Release the chain brake.
Your saw is now ready for use as a conventional chain
saw.
NOTE
If
you are removing the D-8 to use your saw for
conventional cutting; first set the chain brake. This
will prevent the need to retension the chain after
you have removed the D-8.
Cleaning the D-8
I
t's important that the D-8 be cleaned after each use, along
with your Cutters Edge-Fire Rescue Saw.
To clean the D-8, simply remove it as you would to config-
ure your saw for conventional cutting. Wipe off all inner and
outer surfaces of the D-8.
NOTE
Cleaning may also be done in a parts washer.
If you should have questions about the installation, opera-
tion or maintenance of your D-8 or any Cutters Edge prod-
uct, call our service department at 1-800-433-3716.
