Pipe Clamp - U.S.SAWS ACH GB Series Operating Manual

1. Assess pipe and area to cut. Ensure the chain saw will pass freely around any
objects in and around the path of the cut. (ie: power lines, telecommunication
lines, rocks, tools, etc.)
2. Ideally the pipe clamp should be mounted in a position that allows the locking
pliers to be on the top side of the pipe. This will allow for easier clamping.
3. US Saws recommends a bottom up cutting process. This allows two safety
functions.
a) With a bottom cut, a pipe will not sag in a fashion that will pinch the
bar. A top cut could cause pinching as a pipe sags.
b) The saw will be pulled through the cut by the operator and the bar will
swing away from the operators position. If the tool is pushed (downward
cut) the saw swings towards the operator.
4. Mount the receiver at a 10 o'clock position. This will allow the saw to hang in a
near vertical orientation.
5. Slide mounting pin on the saw (see pin installation instructions) into receiver
and install retainer clip.
6. Clear the area of loose debris that could get caught in the chain.
7. Use the saw according to operating instructions. Light pressure applied to the
handles is all that is required. Do not use levers, hang, or try to increase
leverage on the tool.
8. In some cases stopping your cut just before completion and leaving a tab
allows greater stability while making cuts down-line. Finish final cut freehand
from the top to complete removal of section.
