Press Snap™ Soil Pipe Cutter
Figure 5 – Cutting The Pipe
Because of differences in press tools, slight variations
in operation are required.
• For the RP 330 press tools, after the cut is complete,
the tool rollers/ram will need to be retracted. Depress
and hold the press tool switch to fully extend the ram
and allow it to retract. Every cut will require two
pulls of the press tool switch (two tool cycles).
• If a 320-E Press tool gives an alarm after a cut (red
LED blinks/tool beeps for 5 seconds), the tool needs
to be recalibrated -
follow the instructions in step 8.
Four consecutive alarms will cause the 320-
E to lock up, and the tool will not function again until it
has been serviced.
Variation in soil pipe will sometimes prevent a cut from
being made in a single cycle. Causes and solutions
include:
• The ram was not fully retracted or the chain was not
tight enough initially. Makes sure the ram is fully
retracted
(See Step 9) and hook the chain so it is as
tight as possible. Depending on the pipe, this may
be one chain pin tighter than the marked pin.
• Some thicker walled pipe may require several cycles
of the Press Snap cutter to cut. In these cases
repeat the cut with the chain in the same position as
the first cycle.
• In rare cases, a cut will not be possible, and other
methods will need to be used.
