Safety
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Guard function
a) Check the guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if the guard
does not move freely and enclose the blade
instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that
the blade is exposed. If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the guard may be bent. Check to make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. The guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not
shift while performing a "plunge cut". Blade
shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kick
back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the
blade before placing the saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after the switch is released.
Use only blades within the diameter range stated in
technical data.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
Do not use any blade with lower speed marking than
no-load speed marked on the power tool.
Wear a dust mask.
Use pipe holders to support the pipe being cut.
Intended Use
PipeCut 170 Battery: The PipeCut 170 Battery
saw is intended for use as a pipe fitter's tool at the
installation site.
The PipeCut 170 Battery pipe
to cut round pipes, with a diameter of 15-170 mm
(0,6"-6") and a maximum wall thickness of 5 mm
(0,20") with steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous
materials and 15 mm (0,55") with plastics.
The PipeCut 170 Battery
cut all normal pipe materials, such as steel, stainless
steel, cast iron, copper, aluminium and plastic.
PipeCut 170 Battery pipe saw is intended for short,
intermittent use. The machine may be loaded for 1,5
minutes during a 10-minute period (S3 15 %).
PipeCut 170 Battery pipe saw is not intended for use
in industrial production.
When using PipeCut 170 Battery, remember that
it is not as powerful as the corded PipeCut 170
model. Don't expect the same performance as
with the corded model.
pipe
saw can only be used
pipe saw can be used to
When you use the saw, the following factors
shall be considered:
Support the pipes to be cut properly so that the
blade is not clamped between the ends of the
pipes.
Support the pipe to cut securely. Pipe supports
are more reliable for holding the pipe than bare
hands.
Make sure that the pipe to be cut is empty. Take
care that no-one will put anything inside the pipe
during the operation.
Make sure that the diameter and thickness of the
blade is suitable for the saw and that the blade is
suitable for rotational speed selected
Do not use damaged or faulty blades or blade
flanges. Blade flanges and nuts are custom made
for this tool to ensure optimum operating
performance and safety.
Never use axial friction force to stop the blade, let
it stop freely.
Check the parts of the blade protection, never
operate the tool if blade covers are not in place.
Never apply excessive force when using the
pipecut.
Never use the pipecut to lift the pipe when fixed
on the pipe.
Avoid excessive load on the electric motor.
Always wear a dust mask if cutting materials that
produce dust, for example cast iron with Diamond
blade.
Always follow safety and operation manual and
applicable regulations.
The pipe saw must never be used in the
following cases:
There is water or another liquid, explosive gases,
or poisonous chemicals inside the pipe to be cut.
The power switch is faulty.
The blade is bent.
The blade is dull or in poor condition.
The plastic components are cracked or have
parts missing.
The gripper unit is not properly tightened around
the pipe or if it is warped.
The blade guard cover or moving blade guard
has been damaged or removed from the
machine.
The locking mechanisms do not work properly
(UNLOCK - SWITCH).
The pipe saw has become wet.
