cutter wheel is pinched by the pipe, it will damage the cutter wheel.

Operating Instructions

Keep fingers and hands away from cutter wheel. Do not reach across cutter or pipe.

Keep hands and feet clear of pipe.

1. Be sure pipe is properly supported by pipe supports and will not pinch and damage the

cutter wheel.

2. Mark the pipe at the desired length for cutting (use chalk or pipe marker).

3. Position pipe at marked point to the cutter wheel. Insure pipe is resting squarely on cutter

frame rollers. Use foot pump to square pipe to the cutter wheel to avoid mistracking.

4. Assure the correct operating position behind the pipe. Tighten the pressure release valve.

Exert pressure on hydraulic pump. Continue pumping the pump to advance pivot arm and

cutter wheel to the pipe.

5. After wheel comes in contact with pipe, pump an additional 2 or 3 strokes, switch on the

power. The pipe will start rotating once cutter wheel engages the pipe.

6. Pump repeatedly (2 to 3 times), this will "seat" the cutter wheel. Allow the pipe to rotate one

or two revolutions without pumping.

7. Repeat pumping the pump two to three times then allow pipe to simply rotate for one or two

revolutions before pumping again. Continue this process until pipe is cleanly cut through.

NOTE! Do not pump too aggressively. May distort pipe or damage cutter wheel.

Complete at least one revolution before depressing the hydraulic pump again.
