Use of a Quad Saw
The use of a Quad Saw against a multi-tool for electrical cut outs in plasterboard was demonstrated on site. The results found the Quad-Saw to create less noise and less vibration exposure.
The Quad Saw also completed the cut outs in less time and created less dust exposure, due to the fact that on-tool extraction could be fitted, whereas on-tool extraction isn’t possible with a multi-tool. Comparative results are as follows:
- Quad Saw average noise output of 93.4dB is less than Multi-tool average noise output of 99.5dB
- Quad Saw measured vibration of (ms-2): 11.4 compared to Multi-tool measured vibration of (ms-2): >20
- Quad Saw time in minutes to reach limit value of: 5 ms2 – 92 mins compared to Multi-tool time in minutes to reach limit value of: 5 ms2 – 30 mins
