Maintenance and servicing
instructions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, DO
NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE LOCK
THE ON/OFF SWITCH ON while "running in". HOLD
BY HAND ONLY.
Cleaning
WARNING: Periodically blowing dust and
chips out of the motor housing using clean, dry
compressed air is a suggested maintenance
procedure. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses
while using compressed air.
WARNING: When cleaning, use only mild
soap and a damp cloth on plastic parts. Many
household cleaners contain chemicals which could
seriously damage plastic. Also, do not use gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning
fluids or similar products which may seriously damage
plastic parts. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
Gripper unit
Clean the gripper unit regularly with compressed
air. Lubricate the gripper's wheel axles (Fig. P/1)
and its joints (Fig. P/2). Also clean and lubricate the
gripper's trapezoidal screw (Fig. P/3) and the two
worm screws on it (Fig. P/4).
Blade guard
When you have sawn plastic pipes and then intend
to start sawing metal pipes always clean the inside
of the blade guards. Hot particles derived from
sawing metal will burn plastic particles, which may
release toxic smoke. Make it a rule to clean the
blade guard regularly, and pay special attention to
keep the moving blade guard movement from
becoming hampered. Lubricate the axis of the moving
blade guard regularly.
Motor
Keep the motors cooling vents clean.
Power cable
WARNING: Check the condition of the power
cable regularly. A faulty power cable should always
be replaced at an approved service agency.
Correct use and regular servicing and cleaning will
ensure the continued operation of the pipe saw.

Blades
WARNING: VISUALLY EXAMINE CARBIDE
BLADES BEFORE USE. REPLACE IF DAMAGED
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury,
always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material.
Foreign objects in the work piece such as wire or
nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate
saw when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount
blade securely in proper rotation before using, and
always use a clean, sharp blade.
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload
on the saw motor.
Change blades when it is no longer easy to push
the saw through the cut, when the motor is straining,
or when excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is
a good practice to keep extra blades on hand so
that sharp blades are available for immediate use.
Dull blades can be sharpened in most areas; see
SAWS-SHARPENING in the yellow pages.
Your PipeCut pipe saw is designed for use with 5,51"
(140 mm) diameter blades that have a 2.44" (62
mm) diameter bore. Blades must be rated for 4200
RPM operation (or higher). DO NOT use any abrasive
wheels.
See blade selection on page 2
