ATTACHING CUTTERS TO A LEADER
Note: See the Cutter Application Chart to select the appropriate lead-
er to use with each cutter.
Caution: Carbide tipped chains can damage plastic. Use caution if
the clay pipe is broken or fragile. Use carbide tipped chain only in
metal pipes.
Note: Use the supplied Loctite
tightened onto a leader. Never use permanent thread locker. See
manufacturer's website for proper use.
1. Before attaching leaders, chains or cutters, always be sure the
machine is turned OFF and unplugged.
2. Inspect the leader for damage. DO NOT use a leader it is dam-
aged.
3. Loosen the set screws in the cutter so that the leader will pass
through.
4. Proceed to the appropriate section for the cutter you are attaching.
ATTACHING CUTTERS TO A LEADER
For Adjustable Chain Cutters (FIGURE 2)
1. Slide the chain cutter and leader protector (when applicable) onto
the leader.
2. Slide one end of the chain cutter until it is flush with the end of the
leader and tighten the set screws.
3. While keeping the chains from twisting, slide the opposite end the
of the chain cutter closer to or further away from the other end in
order to achieve the desired cutting size and tighten the set
screws.
4. Ensure that at least 1/2" of shaft is exposed beyond the end of the
chain cutter.
