Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw • Always replace blades, hydraulic components, and other parts with replacement parts recommended by the E.H. Wachs Company. • Keep the machine lubricated according to the instruc- tions in Chapter 6. • Make sure the blade is tight before cutting.
SAGE AND PPLICATIONS CCESSORIES The Goliath Guillotine is designed to cold-cut pipes, solids, and multi-stranded casing strings from 16” to 32” (41 to 81 cm) in diameter. The Goliath is easy to set up, even sub-sea, and is available with an autoclamp option and topside con- trols for remote operation.

ACHINE ONTROL The topside control unit (TCU) provides remote controls for up to three hydraulic drives. On the Goliath Guillotine, one drive controls the saw motion, and two are used for options: the autoclamp mechanism and the hydraulic autofeed. Instructions for operating the saw using the TCU are in Chapter 5.

When the clamping drive is fully engaged (clamping pressure equals system pressure), return both clamping levers to the up position.
Mechanical Autofeed Egage the autofeed mechanism, or feed the saw manu- ally into the pipe. Set the cutting drive lever for the speed you want. Typically, you can set it to the maximum. E.H. Wachs Company Part No. 06-150-520-MAN, Rev. 0-0607...
