Husqvarna Soff-Cut 2000 Manual De Usuario página 12

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.
