Attaching the pipe saw to the pipe

Open the pipe saw's gripper unit enough to
suit the diameter of the pipe by rotating the
adjustment handle located at the rear of the saw
(Fig. F/1).
Position the pipe saw on top of the pipe so
that the edge of the lower blade guard is at
the cutting mark. Fasten the pipe saw to the
pipe by turning the gripper adjustment handle
until the gripper grips fi rmly the pipe to be cut
(Fig F/2). Lock the mechanism by turning the
gripper safety (Fig F/3). Hold the pipe in place
and ensure that pipe saw moves freely in the
direction the pipe is fed. For sake of safety
ensure the pipe saw leads are to the left of the
pipe saw. The pipe saw is now ready for cutting.

Piercing the pipe wall

Grip the gripper fi rmly with your right hand
and place your left foot on top of the pipe
approximately 50cm from the pipe saw. Turn
the saw until it leans slightly forward (Figure
I). When starting the motor, fi rst of all release
the power-switch locking lever (Fig G/1) and
push the power switch all the way down (Fig
G/2). Before starting to saw, wait until the blade
reaches full speed. Pierce the pipe wall by
pressing pipe saw operating handle downwards
slowly and evenly until the blade has cut through
the pipe wall (at this stage the pipe must not
rotate) and the motor unit is locked in the sawing
position (Fig I /1).. Look at the UNLOCK button
during the piercing operation. When UNLOCK
button is locked, i.e. the yellow mark disappears
(Fig H), pipe saw is locked in the sawing
position, and you can safely start sawing around
the pipe.
Sawing around the pipe
Start sawing by feeding the pipe saw forward
and fi x the pipe with your left foot (Fig I /2). After
that release the pipe (remove your left foot from
the pipe) and turn the pipe saw backwards,
whereby the pipe will also be rotated backwards
(Fig J). Start a new feeding movement, and
feed continuously forward ca. 1/6 of the pipe's
circumference. Repeat until the pipe is cut off
(Fig K).
Select the sawing / feeding speed as per the
material and the thickness of the wall. Too high
speed can damage the blade, overload the pipe
saw and give a poor sawing result.
