			 | Cutting flexible metal conduit 
 Flexible conduit (flex) and tubing should also be cut with a 
			hacksaw. Because of its spiral construction, flex should be cut at 
			an angle so that only one ribbon is cut all the way through. A 
			slight reverse twist will separate the two ends.

			|  | Cutting braided hose 
 When cutting braided hose, clean up any burrs and ragged edges on 
			the end of the hose. This helps to ensure a secure, leak-free seal 
			between the hose and the fitting. Wrap the end with electrical tape 
			before cutting to help minimize burrs and ragged edges.
