Tips for using Exact
PipeCut saws
Diamond blade should only be used for cutting
cast iron pipe. It is not recommended to cut cast
iron with TCT or Cermet blades.
Clean the inside of the blade guards after cutting
plastic pipe.
Smaller pipe is easily cut by rotating the pipe
by hand either on a table or on the fl oor. Please
note: rotate pipe towards you when rotating by
hand and be careful not to rotate too fast.
Check the condition of the blade regularly.
The cutting procedure is divided into two stages;
fi rst saw through the pipe wall, then complete
the cut by sawing around it.
Do not overload the saw by cutting continuously.
The saw will be overheated and the metal parts
can become burning hot. This will also damage
the motor and the blade. The rule is 2.5 minutes
in use and 7.5 minutes rest.
Keep the feeding speed constant. This will
extend the lifetime of the blade. For example
cutting time for a steel pipe diameter of 6''
(170mm), and a wall thickness of 1/5'' (5mm), is
15-20 seconds, and for a cast-iron pipe diameter
of 4'' (110mm), with a wall thickness of 1/6''
(4mm) is 20 to 25 seconds.
Always keep the motor unit in the upright
position. The yellow mark of the unlock button is
then visible. Never place the Pipe Cut Saw on
the pipe in the locked / cutting position.
Factors that affect the lifetime of the saw
blade:
• material of the pipe
• correct blade type for material being cut
• correct motor speed setting
• wall thickness of the pipe
• feeding speed
• smoothness of the pipe
• user's general skills
• cleanness of the pipe
• rust on the pipe
• welded seam in the pipe
• blade speed
Factors that affect the straightness of the
cut:
• condition of the saw blade
• wall thickness of the pipe
• feeding speed
• smoothness of the feed
• user's general skills
• cleanness of the pipe
• roundness of the pipe
• gripper unit too loose or too tight
• blade assembled too tight
