parts: (1) cutting and grooving 6" 8", 10", and 12": gray and ductile pipe of AWWA dimen-sions (2)
cutting and grooving gray and ductile 4" pipe of AWWA dimensions: (3) cutting and grooving steel pipe.
CUTTING AND GROOVING 6" - 12" GRAY & DUCTILE PIPE.
Cutting
1. Use carbide tipped blades for cutting off the pipe to length. Use sharp blades, as use of dull blades
will cut slowly, if at all, and are much more likely to break.
2. Adjust the blade exposure as shown in Figure 26. (Wall thickness of pipe to be cut plus 1/4")

3. Depress detent lever and turn crank clockwise to retract blade to clear pipe before attaching to face of
gear plate.
