7 . With one hand on the saw handle, grip the nearest
clamp handlebar with other hand. Slowly rotate the
PipeSaw away from you around pipe. The PipeSaw
will only rotate in one direction.
Monitor the LED indicator lights on the unit (there are
two LEDs – one at the handle and one near the
pivot grip). If the LEDs flash, rotate the unit slower. It
is important not to rotate the saw too fast to prevent
saw overload, breaker tripping and saw blade dam-
age. See Figure 16.
Always have at least one hand holding the unit. As the
saw rotates around the pipe, move your hands from
one clamp handlebar to the next. Monitor the pipe for
movement that could indicate shifting, falling or bind-
ing pipe. Do not use cutting lubricants when cutting.
