Pipe cutting
1.Raise the die head and reamer out of the way and
set the pipe at the length to be cut.
2.Open the pipe cutter wider than the diameter of the
pipe and lower it into position.
3.Tighten by turning the handle to the right until the
cutter wheel firmly engages the pipe, (see Fig. 44),
start the machine, and turn the handle 1/4 of a
revolution for each revolution of the pipe being cut
until the pipe is completely cut.
WARNING
If the cutter handle is turned too violently, when the
cutter wheel cuts into pipe, it can distort the shape of
the pipe.
Special Cut Grinder Precautions
We strongly recommend that only the pipe cutter
attached to the machine be used to cut pipes that are
to be threaded. If a grinder is used, make sure that
the cut face is square and without steps as in Fig. 45.

off, retract the reamer bar and raise the reamer arm
