exactCUT P400 Operating Instructions
Operation
When the pipe is cut off, push the UNLOCK button forward until the
yellow mark is visible and the locking is released (Fig.L). Now raise
the motor unit to starting position. Release the power switch. After
the saw is lifted away from the pipe ensure that the moving blade
guard has tumed into safety position (Fig.M).
Select the feeding speed as per the material and the thickness
of the wall. Too high speed can damage the blade, overload the
Exact P400 and give a poor sawing result. Especially when using a
CutBevel blade the feed rate should be fairly slow to ensure a quality
bevel finish.
The Exact P400 can also be used for making only a bevel to the end
of plastic pipe. First position the saw on top of the pipe so that the
cutting blade of the CutBevel blade is at the end of the pipe. (Fig.N}
Now you can work the pipe as previously described.
Should there be problems during piercing or sawing, abnormal
sounds or vibrations due to which you have to interrupt sawing
before the pipe is cut through, release the blade by pushing the
UNLOCK button forward until the UNLOCK button is released and lift
the motor unit up. Once the problem is cleared, start sawing again.
Never start the motor when the motor unit is locked in sawing
position or the teeth of the blade are in contact with the sawn pipe.
Always clean the steering device and the guide wheels after use.
This will ensure that plastic chips caught in the wheels do not skew
the unit and cause a lobsided cut.
Overload protection
The Exact P400 is equipped with overload protection. When the
blade is dull or the cutting speed is too high, the overload protection
cuts power automatically. Restore the power by pushing the overload
protection switch (Fig.A/15).
Stralghtness of the cut and the adjustment
The cut is affected by many factors,e.g.the size of the pipe,the
material, the wall thickness, the quality of the pipe’s surface, the
roundness, blade condition, feed rate, the operator’s experience.The
cutting result may vary and a gap may result on the cutting surface
either to the right or left i.e.the difference between the start and end
point of the cut (Fig.0).
There is a feature in the steering device of the Exact P400 (Fig.A/8)
which, if needed, can improve the sawing result and facilitate to
reach the placement of the initial cut.
