Attaching the pipe saw to the pipe
Open the pipe saw’s gripper unit enough to
suit the diameter of the pipe by rotating the
adjustment handle located at the rear of the saw
(Fig. E/1) .
Position the pipe saw on top of the pipe so
that the edge of the lower blade guard is at
the cutting mark. Fasten the pipe saw to the
pipe by turning the gripper adjustment handle
until the gripper grips fi rmly the pipe to be cut
( Figure E/2) . Hold the pipe in place and ensure
that pipe saw moves freely in the direction
the pipe is fed. The pipe saw is now ready for
cutting.
Piercing the pipe wall
Grip the gripper fi rmly with your right hand
and place your left foot on top of the pipe
approximately 40 cm from the pipe saw. Turn
the saw until it leans slightly forward ( Figure H).
When starting the motor, fi rst of all release the
power-switch locking lever ( Fig F/1 ) and push
the power switch all the way down (Fig F/2).
Before starting to saw, wait until the blade
reaches full speed. Pierce the pipe wall by
pressing pipe saw operating handle downwards
slowly and evenly until the blade has cut through
the pipe wall (at this stage the pipe must not
rotate) and the motor unit is locked in the sawing
position (Fig H/1). Look at the UNLOCK button
during the piercing operation. When UNLOCK
button is locked, i.e. the yellow mark disappears
( Fig G), pipe saw is locked in the sawing
position, and you can safely start sawing around
the pipe.
Sawing around the pipe
Start sawing by feeding the pipe saw forward
and fi x the pipe with your left foot (Fig H/3).
After that release the pipe (remove your left foot
from the pipe) and turn the pipe saw backwards,
whereby the pipe will also be rotated backwards
(Fig J). Start a new feeding movement, and
feed continuously forward ca. 1/6 of the
pipe’s circumference. Repeat until the pipe is cut
off (Fig K) . When cutting smaller pipes you can
also rotate them towards you with your left hand.
Select the feeding speed as per the material and
the thickness of the wall. Too high speed can
damage the blade, overload the pipe saw and
give a poor sawing result.
