Cutting
Work Station
- Position cutting station so that wind will blow dust away from user or others in working area and allow for ample dust dissipation.
- Use one of the following methods based on the required cutting rate and jobsite conditions.
Cutting Methods
Best
- Score and snap using carbide-tipped scoring knife or utility knife (Ability to use this method depends on thickness of MagO Board being installed.)
- Fiber-cement shears (electric or pneumatic).
Better
- Dust reducing circular saw equipped with appropriate blade and HEPA vacuum extraction.
Good (for low to moderate cutting only)
- Dust reducing circular saw with appropriate saw blade.
NOTES:
Always use correct tools when executing cutting operations.
Even though MagO Board is a non-toxic building material, ALWAYS wear a dusk mask, safety glasses and follow MSDS Guidelines. |
Clean-up
| During clean-up, dust and debris, NEVER dry sweep as it may excite dust particles into the user?s breathing area. Instead, wet debris down with a fine mist to suppress dust during sweeping, or use a HEPA vacuum to collect particles.
NOTES:
1.For maximum protection (lowest respirable dust production), Magnum? Building Products recommends always using ?Best? level cutting methods where feasible.
2.Never use a power saw indoors.
3.Never use a circular saw blade that is inappropriate for the specific operation being undertaken.
4.Never dry sweep - use wet suppression methods or HEPA vacuum.
5.Never use a grinder or continuous rim diamond blade for cutting. |
