Overload Protection; Straightness Of Cut And Adjusting Wheel - eXact PipeCut 360 system Operating Instructions Manual

Operation
Select the sawing 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.
When the pipe is cut off, push the UNLOCK button
forward until the yellow mark is visible and the locking
is released (Fig L/1). Now raise the motor unit to
starting position (Fig L/2). Release the power switch
(Fig L/3). When the blade has stopped, open the
gripper safety mechanism (Fig L/4) and disengage
the pipe saw from the pipe by loosening the gripper
adjustment handle. (Fig L/5). Ensure that the moving
lower blade-guard is lowered into safety position
.
Should there be problems during piercing or sawing,
abnormal sounds or vibrations due to which you have
to interrupt sawing before the pipe is cut through,
release the blade by pushing the UNLOCK button
forward until the UNLOCK button is released, and lift
the motor unit up. Once the problem is cleared, start
sawing again.
Never start the motor, when the motor unit is locked
in sawing position or teeth of the blade contact the
pipe to be sawn.

Overload protection

The pipe saw is equipped with overload protection.
When the blade is dull or the speed is too high, the
overload protection cuts power automatically. Restore
the power by pushing the overload protection switch
(Fig A/15).

Straightness of cut and adjusting wheel

The cut is affected by many factors, e.g. the size of
the pipe, the material, the wall thickness, the quality
of the pipe's surface, the roundness, welded seams,
blade condition, feed rate, operator's experience. For
this reason the result may vary, and the cut may turn
to left or right (misalignment of the cut's starting and
ending point) (Fig M). The pipe saw gripper has one
adjustable wheel (Fig A/9) which be used for improving
the quality of the cut and for reducing the misalignment.
The adjustment applies only to the actual pipe size
and material, and the wheel may have to be readjusted
as the blade is worn.
