Installing and changing the saw blade
WARNING : To reduce the risk of injury, turn the
unit off and disconnect it from the power source before
installing and removing accessories, before adjusting
or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
Remove the power plug from the socket.
Remove the blade guard cover (FIGURE P / 1) by
opening the blade guard screw (FIGURE P / 2).
Press the spindle- lock button (FIGURE A / 12) and
simultaneously rotate the blade by hand until the
spindle-lock button drops a further distance of about 7
mm. Now the rotation of the blade is prevented.
Use the 5mm allen key to open the blade attachment
screw.
Remove the securing screw and washer (FIGURE P /
3), the outer blade flange (FIGURE P / 4) and the blade
(FIGURE P / 5).
Before installing a new blade, check that both blade
flanges are clean. Place a new or sharpened blade on
the back flange (FIGURE P / 6), so that the marked
side of the blade is facing outwards and the arrows on
the blade are facing in the same direction as the
rotation direction markings on the inside of the blade
cover. Ensure that the new blade goes right to the
bottom on the back blade flange. Put the outer blade
flange, and the securing bolt back in place. Press the
spindle lock button and tighten the blade securing nut.
Put the blade guard cover back in place and tighten the
blade cover bolt.

Maintenance and servicing instructions
Remove the power plug from the socket before
servicing or cleaning the pipe saw. All maintenance
operations carried out on the pipe saw's electrical
components must be carried out by an approved
service center or engineer.
Blade
Check the condition of the blade. Replace a bent, blunt,
or otherwise damaged blade with a new one. Using a
blunt blade can overload the pipe saw's electric motor
and gearbox. When you notice that the blade is blunt
do not continue cutting with it, as the blade may
become so badly damaged that it will not be worth
sharpening. A blade in sufficiently good condition can
be sharpened a few times by a professional sharpening
company. Diamond X Discs cannot be sharpened
Carrier units
Clean the carrier units regularly with compressed air.
Lubricate the carriers quick release axles and
tightening screws (FIGURE Q / 1 and 2).
Clean and lubricate also the chain from time to time to
ensure smooth operation of Pipe Cut Infinity.
Blade guard
WARNING : Regularly check the correct function
of the lower blade guard. To check the function, first
disconnect the tool from power source and then lift the
lower blade guard to upper position by hand. After
releasing the blade cover, it should return to lowest
position without any delay or friction.
When you have cut plastic pipes and then intend to
start cutting metal pipes always clean the inside of the
blade guards. Hot metal particles originating from metal
cutting will heat up plastic particles, which may release
toxic smoke. Make it a rule to clean the blade guard
regularly and pay special attention to keep the moving
blade guard movement from becoming obstructed.
Lubricate the axis of the moving blade guard regularly.
As an extra equipment you can buy outer blade
guard with connection for vacuum cleaner. For
extra equipment see page 18.
Motor
Keep motor air vents clean to allow free airflow.
