3. Tighten motor bracket locking knob. (Fig. 4)
4. Tighten blade guard locking knob approximately
from pipe. (Fig. 4)
5. Rotate unit in direction of arrow on top of motor bracket.
6. Space wedges every 9-12 inches.
7. The unit will cut under water, however, if it is stalled,
rotate it back up through its cut and exhaust the water
before cutting again.
8. When beveling plastic pipe, overlap the start/finish point
of cut to ensure a complete bevel.
9. If the blade is pinched in the cut:
a. Disconnect air supply line from unit.
b. Open ball valve to ensure complete bleed off through
motor.
c. Remove blade guard.
d. Remove locknut, flange from arbor.
e. Disconnect chain.
f. Pull motor unit out of blade.
g. Remove blade from pipe by lifting the pipe. Inspect
the blade for damage.
10. If the motor will not be used again in the same day,
open the ball valve, pour about a teaspoon of air motor
oil into the air inlet port and close the ball valve.
For Use on steel Pipe:
There are going to be sparks whether or not water is used
with the UPC to cut steel. It is easier to make the cut with-
out water because the chips tend to fall away from the work
area. However, using water reduces the amount of sparks.

Water keeps the blade cooler, but it causes the chips to
gather into the blade cutting space. This makes more work
for the blade as it may "recut" those same chips that fall into
the workspace.
For Use On PE:
It is a 100% dry cut for PE. Turn the exhaust collar on the
back of the UPC straight up so the exhaust is blowing
straight up and not onto the pipe. Use a new hose from
the compressor to the FRL and a new hose from the FRL
to the UPC itself. By using a new hose, oil coming through
can be significantly reduced. Users should also wipe off the
exhaust collar on a regular basis so there is not a build-up
of oil or dripping oil.

A. Motor
1. Lubrication: Grease the planetary gears after each day's
use with the gear grease and grease gun provided. (Dotco
Grease No. 45-0983 is recommended). A 1/4" hole at the
front on the motor exhaust collar reveals a grease fitting.
The fitting should be facing up when turning the motor
unit upside down. Ref. Service Bulletin UPC 636-4. The
motor should also be oiled before and after each days use
(Sec. IV, D. Item 10).
2. Service: Refer to the service notice on underside of
carrying case lid.
note: in the event of experiencing motor problems,
(i.e. - leakage, loss of power, etc.) do not
disassemble the motor. this will void the
motor warranty. send motor back to reed
Manufacturing for service.
b. Cover Air Port with Cover Coupling When Unit is
not in Use
C. dress (sharpen) diamond blades
1. See Service Bulletin #UPC 636-5
d. Clean Carbide Grit blade if it becomes loaded
1. Use wire brush or appropriate solvent.
2. Direction of blade may be reversed for longer life.
E. sharpen steel/PE blades/bevel cutter
Should be performed by a professional tool grinding
service.
F. Occasionally lubricate the release pins,
chain links, main frame screw, roller pins and
turnbuckle assembly with a water displacing
lubricant (Wd-40 or equivalent).
WD-40 is a registered trademark of the WD-40 Company.
®
When cutting steel, ductile iron, or cast iron, the
UPC can produce sparks. When cutting PE, the
UPC may cause a build-up of static electricity.
Do not use the UPC saw in-line on potentially
explosive or otherwise dangerous situations.
The line must be verified as completely purged
of any flammable vapor or liquid.
