notE
Left hand thread in nut turns counter clockwise to tighten. Be sure the cutter drive
collar spacer and lock nut are clean and free of chips and dirt so that the assembly
can be tightened securely.
notE
It is important to use sharp cutters. A dull cutter puts an unnecessary load on the
machine and will result in unsatisfactory cuts. Cutters should be sharpened by a
qualified tool grinder who has equipment to maintain the cutter angles and shape. A
tool grinder who caters to machine shops or tool and die shops is best. Please
contact your E.H. Wachs representative for further details regarding tool sharpening
services.

1.
Connect the power supply to hose whip on Pipe Cutter.
caUtion
Be sure the valves on the machine are off before supplying air to the machine. When the
handles on air valves are up they are in the OFF position.
2.
With the power supply turned on the machine is ready to cut the pipe. Turn the valve handle
on Cutter Valve 90° to the right. This will put the cutter spindle motor in operation and rotate
the cutter.
3.
Slowly feed the rotating cutter down until it extends through the wall of the pipe by
approximately 1/4”. This is done by turning the feed screw (Part No. 02-001-00) in a
clockwise direction. One complete turn of the feed screw lowers the cutter 1/10”. Lock the
cutter in position by placing the feed screw lock (Part No. 02-008-00) on the shoulder of the
feed screw and lock in place with the thumb screw (Part No. 90-059-04).
4.
Turn valve handle on Feed Valve 90° to the right. This will operate the drive motor and make
the machine travel around the pipe and make a complete cut. Speed may be reduced by
adjustment of the feed valve handle (close slowly until proper speed is attained). Machine is
traveling too fast if wheel to right of cutter lifts off pipe or if machine is vibrating excessively.
5.
When the cut is completed stop the drive motor by turning Feed Valve to the left until
machine stops. With the cutter still rotating release the elevating screw lock and raise the
cutter to its uppermost position. With the cutter raised, stop the cutter motor by turning Cutter
Valve to the left 90°. Remove the cutter from the machine. Release the tension on the drive
chain by turning the chain tension screw counter clockwise. Remove a connecting pin from
the chain to uncouple it and the machine can now be removed from the pipe.
