WARNING
Electric shock
If the device comes into contact with electric
circuits or other power sources, it may
cause serious injury or death. Always make
sure there are no cables, wires, or circuits
running inside or near the pipe to be cut
that could conduct electricity to the device
or user.
Do not work near electrical circuits or
other sources of electric currents.
Make sure that your working area has
no hidden electrical circuits and that
the pipe to be sawn is not in contact
with any kind of electrical circuit, power
source, cable, wire, or transformer.
Make sure that any water coming
from inside the pipe or existing at the
job site does not cause the danger of
electric shock, and that no water comes
into contact with any kind of electrical
circuit, power source, cable, wire, or
transformer.
WARNING
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
Always close the air feed, release the
pressure from the piping, and detach
the tool from the air feed when it is
not being used, repaired, or adjusted,
for example when blades are being
replaced.
Never change blades or service the
tool while it is still connected to the
compressed air source. Always make
sure the device is detached from
the compressed air source when
performing an inspection or servicing
operation. Make sure that the motor
is completely shut off and that the
hoses are not pressurized.
WARNING
Danger of vibration
Avoid exposure to vibration; it can damage
the nervous system as well as hinder blood
circulation in hands and arms. This may
in turn cause pain in sensitive joints and
possible old injuries.
Always use sharp blades whose
condition has been checked. A faulty
or damaged blade must never be used
for sawing, and should be replaced
with an intact blade. Dull, damaged, or
faulty blades may intensify vibration.
Avoid exposure to vibration. Long-term
exposure to vibration may cause
injuries to the user’s joints and/or
nervous system.
Only professional technicians may test
the Exact 360 AIR pipe saw.
The pipe saw
may not be tested or serviced by persons
untrained in the servicing of pneumatic
tools. Servicing personnel must be autho-
rized to test these kinds of tools and use
a pneumatic system according to national,
state-specific, and local regulations.
Safety information
• Overspeed caused by excessive air
pressure should be avoided with the
pressure regulators. Recommended
pressures and air quantities must not
be exceeded when using the machine.
Excessive pressure or air quantities may
cause the breakage of the machine,
blade, and accessories, or a hazardous
situation resulting in serious personal
injury or damage to the equipment.
• Couplings and air hoses must be in good
condition. Check the couplings, air hoses,
and compressor before use. Never work
with a damaged coupling, air hose, or
compressor.
WARNING
Only use blades displaying
the Exact brand name:
Exact ALU 180
Exact ALU 165
Exact Diamond X 180
Exact Diamond X 165
Exact Cermet X 180
Exact Cermet X 165
Do not use other manufacturers’
blades. Exact Tools blades are high
quality and have been designed
specifically for the Exact 360 AIR
pipe saw.
See the manual’s
Operating Instructions,
page 17.
WARNING
Failure to comply with these operating
instructions may result in serious injuries
or death.
Make sure that the pipe being cut is
correctly supported, and that each end
of the pipe on both sides of the sawing
point cannot collapse uncontrollably as
the pipe is being cut.
Make sure that sparks do not endanger
people or materials. Sparks may cause
accidents if they come into contact with
flammable materials, liquids, or gases.
See the section
Explosives and
Flammable Materials, Liquids and Gases,
page 5.
Personal protection equipment must
be used as described in the chapter
Personal Protection Equipment,
page 5.
Slipping, stumbling, or falling must be
indicated as the reason for a serious
accident or fatality. Watch out for exces-
sively long hoses left at the job site.
Work carefully in unfamiliar locations.
For example, hidden electrical cables
may cause a danger.
Maintain a balanced position and a
steady foothold.
If an improperly installed or damaged
tool vibrates excessively, react quickly.
Shut off the device or cut off the air
pressure if possible.
Stay clear of spinning blades; the rotary
motion may continue for several seconds
after the air feed has been shut off. Do
not detach the pipe saw from the pipe
before the spinning motion has stopped.
Note that compressed air left in the
hose can cause an unintentional
startup. Always empty the hose care-
fully after use. Never detach a
pressurized hose.
If there is a fault in the energy feed,
press the STOP button (Picture A2).
