Operating Guidelines
For straight chiseled edges, the supplied product information recommends overlapping each bite. Angle aluminum can be clamped to the slab and used with the guide pins to help maintain alignment from one bite to the next.
For a more irregular or mountainous appearance, the machine can be turned at an angle during chiseling.
Important Scribing Information
Scribing the stone surface is not required when using the Pitbull Big Dog. If a visual guide is desired, the supplied product information recommends lightly scratching the surface with a diamond point or using angle aluminum as a guide.
Do not cut deep guide grooves into the stone. According to the supplied product information, grooves deeper than approximately a fingernail's thickness can contribute to blowouts or slab cracking, particularly with laminated material. Using a grinder blade to deeply scribe the stone is specifically discouraged.
Product-Line Information
The broader Pitbull Big Dog system uses a modular jaw design with additional jaw configurations described in the supplied information, including Soft-Stone, 1-1/2-inch, Scalloping and Reverse Scallop jaws.
Product Information Note: This listing is specifically for the Straight Teeth configuration. Additional jaw styles discussed in the supplied product information are not identified as included with this item.
Dimension Note: The supplied product information lists the maximum laminated stone thickness as both 3-1/2 inches and 8 cm. These measurements are not exact equivalents. Confirm the maximum allowable material thickness for the specific application before use.
Factory Testing Note: The product may show minor signs of factory testing, such as dust, when shipped.
Design Note: The supplied product information states that the shipped product may not precisely match product images because design improvements may be incorporated into current production.
Important Material Note: Not all stone types will shear cleanly. Stones containing crystal patches or having a solid single-crystal structure may break unpredictably. The supplied product information identifies marble and natural quartzite as higher-risk materials for chiseling. Test the specific stone before production use when material behavior is uncertain.
Important Safety Note: Follow all manufacturer operating instructions and stone-handling procedures. Keep operators and bystanders clear of the working area, properly support the slab and confirm that the selected material and thickness are appropriate before chiseling.

What jaw configuration is included?
This listing is specifically for the straight-teeth configuration. Other jaw styles discussed in the broader product information are not identified as included.
Is the hydraulic pump included?
Yes. An electric-hydraulic pump is identified as included.
What power supply does the Pitbull Big Dog require?
The supplied product information specifies 120V AC power.
How thick of a laminated stone piece can it handle?
The supplied information lists a maximum thickness of 3-1/2 inches and also references 8 cm. Because those measurements are not exact equivalents, confirm the applicable maximum thickness before use.
How wide are the straight teeth?
The supplied product information lists 3-inch-wide teeth.
Can it be used on engineered stone?
Yes. Engineered stone is specifically identified among the materials tested with the Pitbull Big Dog.
Does the stone need to be deeply scribed before chiseling?
No. The supplied product information states that deep scribing is unnecessary and may contribute to blowouts or cracking, particularly on laminated stone.
Will every stone type shear cleanly?
No. The supplied product information states that some stones, particularly materials with crystal patches or single-crystal structures, may break unpredictably. Marble and natural quartzite are specifically identified as higher-risk materials.
