10.0 General Maintenance:

to prolong the life of the equipment and ensure the safety of the operators.
Inventory all system components (refer to Section 4.0 Equipment)
Visually inspect the cutters and pilot bits
PE cutter - no missing or chipped teeth (13100080)
Steel and cast iron cutter - looks to be in good condition (13200140)
Pilot bit - looks to be in good condition (14300060)
NOTE: The best indication of the condition of the cutter and pilot bit is the coupon removed from the pipe.
Smooth cuts indicate good condition and jagged / rough cuts indicate wear of the cutter and pilot bits.
