I needed to remove several sections of a sidewalk for a deck. To rent a saw cost almost as much as I paid for this saw.
I used my emergency generator to power the saw since an outlet was not nearby. I also used an old paint bucket to hold water for the saw. The vacuum port was the correct size for my small wet / dry vacuum.
I wore gloves and used my chainsaw helmet that has ear and eye protection. The saw isn't real loud but I want to protect my hearing.
It was easy to use an cut the sidewalk with a very clean and smooth edge.
