IMPORTANT NOTES
• The cutter is equipped with a cut-off blade. For this reason, the cutter must be
rotated only in the direction indicated by the arrow. If the cutter is turned
backward, the tip may break.
• Take care to check specific model numbers for PVC or PE pipe.
• Blades for PE and PVC can be switched so that one cutter can work for
either type of pipe.
PLAS1, PLAS2, PLAS3, and PLAS4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. T he pipe to be cut should be solidly supported and secured. For pipe up to
6" diameter, the Reed R450+ Tripod (#02306) or R470+ Tripod (#09402) is
recommended. For pipes larger than 6", (150 mm) use Reed's FPV20 Field
Pipe Vise (#06027).
2. Retract the cutting and beveling tools as far as they will go into the cutter.
3. Set up the cutter for the diameter of pipe being cut by adding/removing "C"
sections and changing connecting link holes. Figure 4 lists the proper cutting
section combinations for common nominal pipe sizes.
NOTE: PLAS assembly is shown online: videos.reedmfgco.com/plas
4. If a cut is to be made near the end of an exposed pipe, the assembled cutter
can simply be slipped over the end of the pipe.
5. For cuts away from the end of the pipe (or in an excavated area where only a
portion of the pipe is exposed), disengage one section of the cutter by
removing an adjusting nut and pulling the main screw out of one of the pivot
links. Place the cutter around the pipe and reassemble the cutter by engaging
the main screw through the connecting link and reattaching the adjusting nut.
