CAUTION
The ROTHENBERGER PIPECUT 170/170E pipe saw is
manufactured in accordance with the EU standard EN
60745-1 and also standard EN 60745-2-5 exclusive of
the requirement which relates to the opening of the
blade guards. (The ROTHENBERGER PIPIECUT 170/170E
pipe saws use is made easier by being able to open the
blade guard without tools).
The sound pressure level
when sawing steel,
which is measured according to EN 60745:
LpA = 94 dB(A); LWA = 105 dB(A); LpCpeak = 98 dB(C).
When sawing various types of material the sound level
may vary and at times exceed the 85 dB(A) level.
Always
use ear protectors to protect yourself!
Vibration level:
The weighted acceleration value
according to EN 60745 does not exceed 2.5 m/s².
Electrical safety
The electric motor is designed to be used at the specified
voltage only. It can be loaded intermittently for 2.5 min
during a 10 min time span (S3 25 %). Always check
that the power supply corresponds to the voltage stated
on the rating plate. ROTHENBERGER PIPECUT 170/170E
pipe saw is double insulated as required by standard EN
60745-1.
Do not take the pipe saw out in the rain.
Never use it in wet or damp conditions.
In order to prevent, electrical shocks,
injuries, and the risk of fire the following
basic safety instructions should be
followed.
Use ear protectors
When working with various materials, the sound level
may vary and at times exceed the 85 dB (A) limit. Always
use ear protectors to protect yourself.
Use safety goggles
Always use safety goggles to prevent injury to your eyes
from particles thrown up when using the pipe saw.
Use safety gloves
Always use safety gloves as the edges of cut pipes are
sharp and can cause cuts.
Keep the work area tidy
An untidy work area can be hazardous and may cause
Safety Instructions
an accident.
Pay attention to where you are working
Do not take the pipe saw out in the rain. Never use it in
wet or damp areas. Ensure that the working area is well
lit. Never use the pipe saw near flammable liquids or
gases. If the pipe saw does get left out in the rain or gets
wet in some other way, have it serviced by an approved
service agency.
Protect yourself from electrical shocks
Avoid coming into contact with objects that conduct
electricity, such as pipe systems, heating radiators,
cookers, washing machines, and refrigerators.
Keep the pipe saw away from children
Keep children away from the pipe saw and its extension
cable. Children under 16 years old must be supervised.
Store the pipe saw correctly
Always store the pipe saw with the motor unit in the upright
position. When you are not using the pipe saw, keep it in a
dry place. Ensure that the storage place is locked and high
enough to be out of the reach of children.
Do not overload the pipe saw
Using too great a cutting force or too high a pipe-
cutting speed can overload the machine. Always arrange
sawing so that when you cut through the pipe it cannot
close in on the sawn gap and clamp onto the blade. The
machine works at its best and safest when it is used the
way for which it was designed.
Dress suitably
Do not use clothing that is too loose or jewellery when
using the pipe saw as they could get caught on moving
parts of the machine. When working outdoors use
rubber gloves and non-slip shoes. If you have long hair,
use a hairnet.
Ensure that your work environment is safe
Ensure that no one else is working close to you and that
there are no objects that could be damaged by your work.
Do not damage the power cable
Never carry the pipe saw by its power cable. Do not pull
the plug from the socket by pulling on the cable. Protect
the power cable from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Attach the pipe saw correctly
Always ensure that the gripper unit on the pipe saw is
firmly attached on the pipe that is going to be sawn.
Do not stoop over your work
Always stand maintaining a firm steady stance when
using the pipe saw.
Take proper care of the pipe saw
Keep the pipe saw clean and only use sharp blades.
Always follow the servicing instructions and the
instructions for changing the blade. Check the condition
of the power cable regularly and have it changed by a
qualified electrician if necessary. Also regularly check the
condition of the extension cable you use and replace it if
necessary. Keep the pipe saw’s handle dry and clean from
oil and grease.
Take the plug out of the socket
Always disconnect the power to the pipe saw by
removing the plug from the socket when the pipe saw
is not in use, when you change the blade, or when you
service it. Always remove the plug from the socket before
removing the blade guard.
Avoid unintentional starting
Never carry the pipe saw with your finger on the power
switch while the saw is connected to its power supply.
Check that the power switch is in the off position and
the motor is in the upright position before putting the
plug into a socket.
Extension cables outside
When you work outdoors, always use an extension
cable that is made and approved for outdoor use.
Be alert
Concentrate on your work. Use common sense. Do not
use the pipe saw when you are tired or drowsy. Never use
the pipe saw under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Use the right tool
Never use a low-power tool or accessory for work that
requires a high-powered tool. Never use the pipe saw
for purposes for which it is not intended.
Remove the key
Check that the blade key has been removed before
starting the pipe saw.
Accessories
Only use additional accessories and equipment
recommended by the manufacturer. The use of another
manufacturers accessories may cause an accident.
Check for damaged parts
Before using the pipe saw, check that: all of its
components are in good condition, are correctly installed
and that all moving parts operate correctly. Always
check the attachments of the blade guard. Also check
that everything else that can affect operation is in good
condition. Never use the pipe saw if the power switch
does not operate properly or if the cable is damaged. A
damaged part should be repaired or replaced with a new
one at an approved service agency.
Have your machine repaired at an approved
service agency
Your retailer will give you a list of approved service
agencies. For safety reasons, only approved service
agencies may service or change the machine’s electrical
components.
Do not cut pipes containing asbestos
Asbestos is considered to be carcinogenic substance.
Check the blade
Use only correct blades in good condition, which are
suitable for the material to be cut, for the pipe size and
for the speed of the saw

Never use sideways force to stop the blade, always
allow the blade to stop freely.
Check the attachments of the blade guards.
Never use excessive force when using the pipe saw.
Never use the pipe saw to lift the pipe while it is still
attached to the pipe.
Avoid overloading the electric motor.
