What happens here

The presenter identifies that the existing ABS P-trap under the sink is too high for the new sink and disposal setup. To remedy this, the ABS pipe needs to be cut. Using the 8-inch E-Z stroke pipe saw, carefully cut the horizontal section of the ABS pipe, just after the existing P-trap elbow. The presenter demonstrates wrapping a rag around the pipe to catch any residual water from the P-trap before cutting. After cutting, retrieve the 1 1/2-inch ABS trap adapter. Apply ABS cement generously to both the cut end of the pipe and the inside of the adapter. Quickly push and twist the adapter onto the cut pipe, holding it firmly for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond. The presenter advises to avoid spilling trap water, as it can be unpleasant.

Goal: The existing ABS drain pipe is cut to the correct length, and an ABS trap adapter is glued into place to prepare for the new P-trap connection.
