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.
Steering unit
Clean the steering unit regularly with compressed
air and after every cut wipe out the chips with a
brush.
Blade guard
Make it a rule to clean the blade guard regularly,
and pay special attention to keep the moving blade
guard movement from becoming hampered.
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
center.
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 5,9"
(150 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
