If problems, unusual noises, or excessive
vibrations occurring during the piercing or
sawing process require the sawing to be
interrupted before the pipe has been cut,
turn off the motor by pushing the STOP
button (Picture A2) and release the blade
by pulling the locking pin out (Picture A3).
When the problem that caused the interrup-
tion has been clarified and fixed, resume
sawing after checking that the saw or blade
has not been damaged. Never start the
motor when the motor unit is locked in its
sawing position or when the teeth of the
blade are in contact with the pipe to be sawn.
Underwater sawing
If the pipe to be cut is partially or completely
underwater, or it is possible that water coming
from within the pipe will raise the water level
at the cutting location so high that the saw
will remain submerged during the cutting
period, an additional hose should be used
in the air exhaust opening. The length of the
additional hose should enable it to reach
above the water surface during the entire
duration of the cutting. Connect the additional
hose by threading a ¾ inch thread to the
opening on the rear section of the pipe saw
(Picture A11). Make sure that the hose cannot
wave around uncontrollably, which could
cause a hazardous situation. If necessary,
use a safety wire to support the additional
hose, which should always be intact.
An exhaust pipe attached to the machine
can detrimentally affect sawing efficiency,
particularly if the pipe is long or has a
small diameter. When carrying out under-
water sawing, the participation of at least
two workers is recommended. One worker
supervises the progress of the work, and
is close to the compressed air shutoff
valve in case a possible emergency shut-
down of the machine is necessary. The
other worker performs the actual sawing.
Use in cold conditions
WARNING:
Use warm safety gloves when
handling the saw in cold conditions. Cold
metal may cause skin injuries.
In cold conditions, note the possible develop-
ment of brittleness in the material to be cut.
Check the blade screw’s tightness before
cutting by using the open-end wrench
(Picture B3) and hex socket key (Picture B2).
Check before use that there is no moisture or
ice inside the compressed air hose you are
using. Possible excess moisture and pieces
of ice may damage the hose, resulting in
personal injuries or damage to the materials.
Make sure that you use oil that suits the
operation of compressed air machines in
cold conditions. When the temperature falls
under –5°C (23°F), make sure that the
pour point of the machine’s lubrication oil
is lower than –25°C / –13°F.
Because moisture remaining in the pipe
saw’s motor, lubrication system, and other
channels may freeze, the pipe saw should
be stored and maintained in a warm
location. To remove any condensate water
that has entered with the compressed air,
a dry cutting should be made with the pipe
saw indoors and in dry conditions. The
stream of warm and dry compressed air fed
through the pipe saw’s motor, lubrication
system, and air vents will remove possible
moisture and reduce the risk of freezing.
Do not use solvent-borne de-icing fluids
that could damage the lubrication system.
Storage
Store the pipe saw in a dry location shielded
from direct sunlight. Do not store the pipe
saw on weak structures or a wobbly shelf.
Make sure that the storage location can sup-
port the weight of the pipe saw. Protect the
pipe saw and its parts from possible dents.
Recommendation
Before connecting the Exact 360 AIR to the
compressed air hose, always run the com-
pressor until it reaches its operating tempera-
ture. When the compressor has reached its
operating temperature, blow compressed air
out of the hose to remove any possibly accu-
mulated water or debris. Connect the com-
pressed air hose to the machine only after
the hose has been cleaned.

While blowing air, be particularly careful
when handling the compressed air hose;
the end of a hose waving around
uncontrollably may injure the user.

NOTE!
If the recommended pressure and
air quantity are not attained, the machine
can be used normally, but the machine’s
efficiency and working speed will decrease
correspondingly. The machine is not recom-
mended for use in conditions where the
recommended pressure and air volume are
less than half of the recommended values.
Recommended motor lubrication oil
MOBIL DTE 24 ISO VG32 Temperature range
of this oil is +5°C up to +40°C (41°F up
to 104°F) If the temperature is lower than
+5°C (41°F) a thinner oil must be used.
The Exact 360 AIR machine cuts all
known pipe grades and with the following
blades:
• Diamond X 180 and X 165 Discs, for
cutting cast iron only.
• Exact ALU 180 and 165, aluminum and
all kinds of plastics.
• Exact Cermet 180 and 165, for cutting
steel and stainless steel.
Servicing, changing saw blades,
and the machine’s straightness
sawing adjustment
The motor’s interior parts should be
washed with cleaning fluids, not blown
clean with air jets. Do not use strong
solvents.
Only professionally capable technicians
can test the Exact 360 AIR pipe saw.
The pipe saw cannot be tested or serviced
by persons who have not been trained
in the servicing of pneumatic tools. They
must be authorized to test these kinds
of tools and use pneumatic systems
according to national, state-specific, and
local regulations.
