Soil Pipe Cutter Safety

WARNING
Read and understand these instructions
and the warnings and instructions for
all equipment and material being used
before operating the Soil Pipe Cutters
to reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE!
Keep this manual with machine for use by
the operator.
• Keep bystanders out of work area while
cutting. Stand clear of the pipe. Cutting
can cause pieces of pipe to be thrown
with considerable force. This can cause
striking injuries, eye injuries, or other seri-
ous personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Do not exceed the recommended cut-
ting capacity of the tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. Do not force
tool. Cutting pipe that is too large or the
wrong type could overload the soil pipe
cutter and cause tool failure and or serious
personal injury. Do not extend the chain to
cut soil pipe greater than 8" in diameter.
• Do not use handle extensions or power
tools to activate the soil pipe cutter.
Handle extensions (cheaters) can slip and
cause serious injury. Extended handles or

power tools can overload the soil pipe cut-
ter and cause tool failure and or serious
personal injury.

and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the

Description

RIDGID ® Soil Pipe Cutters are used to cut a va-
riety of cast iron soil pipe and can also be
used on concrete and clay pipe. All RIDGID
Soil Pipe Cutters use chains equipped with
cutter wheels that are tightened around the
pipe until the pipe breaks. The 226, 206 and
286 all use the same chain assembly, while the
246 is supplied with a larger chain. All tools
come standard with enough chain to cut pipe
up to 6" nominal diameter, and with the addi-
tion of one chain extension can cut pipe up to
8" nominal diameter. All of the soil pipe cutters
use a unique hooking mechanism to make
hooking the chain easier.
