WarninG
ALWAYS CONNECT THE MALE END OF ONE SECTION TO THE FEMALE END OF THE
SECTION OF CHAIN THAT PRECEDES IT.
NEVER CONNECT TWO MALE ENDS OR TWO FEMALE ENDS OF CHAIN TOGETHER AS
THIS WILL THROW THE CHAIN OUT OF LINE AND WILL CAUSE MALFUNCTION OF THE
TRAV-LCUTTER AND CHAIN AND SPROCKET BREAKAGE.
operating Hints
1.
It is good practice to drive steel wedges (p/n: 02-175-00) into the saw cut to prevent the pipe
from binding on cutter.
2.
Sharp cutters will ensure safe, accurate, dependable cuts. The cutter will stay sharp longer if
cast iron pipe is wire brushed at the point where the cutter is first fed through the wall of the
pipe.
3.
The air motors will operate best with a minimum air pressure of 90 psi. and volume of
approximately 100 cu. ft. per minute.
4.
Cut cast iron and ductile iron pipe dry. Use a thread cutting oil or a water soluble cutting oil
on steel and stainless steel pipe to lubricate the cutters and help maintain sharpness.
5.
Use a Wachs guide track when cutting in a vertical position or when exact accuracy is
required. See the drawing at the end of this chapter.
6.
Adjust the feed rate to reduce or eliminate cutter overload. Feed valve must be opened very
slowly to achieve a slower feed rate. For complete control of feed speed, install needle valve
in feed motor air line.
7.
To confirm pipe squareness, use a pipe wrap to establish a square cut line and measure from
this line to the chain in several places on pipe O.D.
8.
The maximum effective cutting rate for the Trav-L-Cutter on ductile iron is approximately
one minute per inch of diameter. Some cast iron, steel, heavy wall pipe and beveling will
require a slower feed rate.
