Cut and Break Concrete Trench

Kitchen Makeover + PLUMBING ON CONCRETE (Ep.2)
What happens here
After marking the safe zone (approximately 20 inches wide) for the trench, a large concrete saw is used to cut along the planned lines. Water is continuously supplied to the saw blade during cutting to reduce dust and cool the blade. Once the cuts are made, a heavy-duty jackhammer (specifically a Bosch Brute Turbo P805) is employed to break up the concrete within the defined trench. The broken concrete pieces are then removed to clear the trench for plumbing and electrical work. The presenter notes the efficiency of using specialized rental tools for such demanding tasks.
Goal: Use a concrete saw to make precise cuts in the concrete slab, creating the boundaries for the trench, followed by a jackhammer to break out the concrete within the marked area.
