iii. AssEMblY
A. blade installation
1. Select a Blade from the Chart Below
2. Install Blades
a. Standard Arbor - Install the blade on the 5 /
8
diameter
arbor shoulder (Fig. 2). Install the flange with the
relieved side toward the blade and screw on the
locknut. While holding a wrench (supplied) on the
7 /
8
arbor flats, tighten the arbor locknut. The blade
must seat fully on the arbor shoulder and flush
against the face of the arbor.
NOTE: To cut PVC only, without bevel, use standard arbor
#97617 that ships installed with the unit.
b. Long Arbor for Cutting & Beveling PVC
To cut and bevel at one time, install bevel cutter
(small edge toward motor) over Long Arbor #97561.
Next, install selected blade on 5/8 diameter arbor
shoulder (Fig. 3). Install flange washer with relieved
side toward blade and then screw on locknut. While
holding a wrench (supplied) on 7/8 arbor flats,
tighten arbor locknut using 3/4” wrench (supplied).
Blade must seat fully on arbor shoulder and flush
against bevel cutter. See Cut & Bevel PVC Set-up,
Fig. 7 for full details.
c. Guideline for depth when beveling:
6" blade plunge an additional 1.7" after blade
contacts pipe
4" blade plunge an additional 1.1" after blade
contacts pipe
NOTE: Blade life depends on weather conditions, type of
pipe and pipe diameter, and exterior pipe treatments.
CAUTION: Air Motor rotates COUNTERCLOCKWISE as
viewed from the arbor end. Blades stamped with rotation
arrow must be installed so they rotate counterclockwise.
b. installing bevel Cutters (Fig. 1) Optional
1. Check motor tightness by tightening motor clamp screws
(2) on the underside of unit. (Fig. 1)
