Operating Instructions

WARNING
Make sure you have read and understood the
safety information before attempting to operate
this tool.
1. Place pipe to be cut on outstretched chain next to cut-
ter jaws.
2. Open handle 90°
3. Holding tool in an upright position above pipe, wrap
chain around the pipe with other hand.
4. Pull chain tight under, then up into jaws.
5. Engage pin nearest to jaw. Be sure slack of chain
comes over the top.
6. Close jaws. At this point it is necessary that the han-
dles be at the approximate proper angle to make
the cut: 45° – 70° for cast iron and 22° – 45° for clay
pipe.
IMPORTANT
If you cannot achieve the proper angle with the ad-
justing screw assembly, while the handles are
closed, you have inserted the wrong pin. To solve
this, disengage chain and pre-adjust jaws to insert
the next pin.
Once you have determined the correct pins needed to
cut that particular pipe size and type, you may want to
mark that pin for quick identification on future cuts.
7. Place one foot on lower handle and snap the pipe with
a sharp downward thrust. On extra heavy pipe, exert
even downward pressure.
NOTE: When cutting a buried line, remove excess mud,
and rust in the area where the chain will contact the
pipe. This will allow for maximum wheel penetra-
tion, which will result in a better quality cut.
