Operating Instructions
First, inspect the wheels to insure they suit the type of pipe that is to be cut.
The cutter wheel chart (Fig. 1) identifies the proper wheel for each application.

Make sure bolted rod ends are in proper location for size of pipe to
be cut. Turnbuckles should be unscrewed equally until the rod end
eye center is about 2 1/4" (57 mm) from the end of the turnbuckles.
Disconnect a release pin and fit cutter over pipe to be cut. (You may
have to disconnect both pins if clearance around the pipe is minimal.)
Connect release pin through yoke section and rod end in proper loca-
tion and place the spring loaded guide section of the cutter on top of
the pipe. Hand tighten both turnbuckles evenly until all 4 wheels touch
the pipe. Tighten the turnbuckles every 1/2 revolution of the cutter.
The turnbuckles may also be used to pull the cutter around the pipe.
NOTE: Tighten the turnbuckles as tight as possible while still being
able to pull the cutter around the pipe. (Handle leverage allows easy tightening -
1/2 revolution of the turnbuckle should provide sufficient tension.)
USE LUBRICATING OIL: It will take less effort and prolong the life of the wheels
and wheel pins.
BADLY CRUSTED AND RUST SCALED PIPE: Remove the rust and scale from
the area to be cut with a Reed Descaler (Fig. 2). This will help save cutter wheels
and cutting time; and helps square the cutter on the pipe to insure tracking.
