Reebok Hinged Cutter H6SHH Manual Del Usaurio página 3

Operating Instructions
1. Choose the cutter wheel for the right pipe application: steel, cast
iron, etc. (Table 2)
2. Turn handle to open cutter enough to accommo-
date the size of pipe to be cut.
3. Place cutter around pipe with spring-loaded guides
on top. Connect lower yoke by pushing upward to
locked position. Turn the cutter handle until the
wheels are uniformly touching the pipe.
4. Begin to cut the pipe by moving the entire cutter in
a back and forth motion that constitutes a 90 - 110
degree swing.
5. Check to make sure that the wheels are tracking uniformly. If so,
tighten the handle one-half turn each time that you bring the cutter
handle back toward yourself.
WARNING: DO NOT STOP FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A CUT! THE CUTTING ACTION GENER-
ATES HEAT ON THE PIPE. UPON COOLING, THE WHEELS MAY
BECOME WEDGED IN THE TRACK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE
FOR DUCTILE IRON PIPE.
6. Complete the cut by maintaining pressure on the cutter wheels as
you continue to swing the cutter in a back and forth motion.
USE LUBRICATING OIL: It will take less effort and prolong the life of
the cutter wheels and pins. DO NOT use cutting oil.
BADLY CRUSTED AND RUST SCALED PIPE: Use a Reed Des-
caler (Table 3) to remove the rust and scale from the area to be cut.
A hammer and chisel or coarse file may also be used. Descaling will
help save cutter wheels and cutting time; and will help square the cut-
ter on the pipe to insure tracking.
Hinged Cutters™ with Helper Handles operate in the same manner
as regular Hinged Cutters. The second handle is screwed into the
bottom of the cutter, 180 degrees across from the main handle. These
models require handle-length clearance, though, to turn the cutter
in a full circle. The helper handle models are designed to allow two
people to make a team effort for bigger, tougher cuts. These models
are also useful for horizontal cuts on vertical pipe such as well casing.
They use the same wheels and maintenance as regular Reed Hinged
Cutters.
NOTE: Leave the extra handle off for use as a regular Hinged Cutter,
with its low clearance needs.

difficult to penetrate. Once pipe is fractured,
continue feeding to insure cut has in fact
been completed all the way around the pipe.
CHANGING CUTTER WHEELS IN A REED HINGED CUTTER
1. Turn the cutter over to look at the back side of the tool.
(This is the side opposite of the wheel pin heads.)
2. Using a punch or small screwdriver and hammer, gently tap on the
wheel pin positioned in the center of the cutter wheel.
3. The wheel pin will pop up on the front side of the cutter just enough
to enable you to remove the pin from the cutter wheel with your
fingers.
4. Before installing the new wheel, make sure the wheel pin, wheel
sides and wheel hole are greased. Place the replacement cutter
wheel in the correct space. It is necessary to insert the wheel pin
partially through the cutter wheel to keep it in position.
5. Looking at the front of the cutter, use the same punch or small
screwdriver and hammer to gently tap the wheel pin into position.
Notice there are two opposite flat sides on the top of the wheel pin.
These flat sides must line up with the flat spots on the cutter itself.
6. When done correctly, the top of the wheel pin will be flush/even
with the designated spot on the front of the cutter.
