To Change Cut-Off And Bevel Blades - REED PLAS In-Line Rotary PLAS1 Manual Del Operador

6. Rotate cutter so that the blade section of the cutter is on top of the pipe.
Ensure that all four rollers in the blade section are in contact with the pipe.
7. With the cut-off blade lined up with the desired cut location, tighten nuts
equally until cutter is snug, yet will still rotate.
8. Place the aluminum handle over a cutter lug and rotate cutter once
around pipe to ensure that the cutter remains tight. If at any point during
this rotation the cutter becomes loose, at that point tighten the adjusting nuts.
The adjusting nuts are spring loaded to allow for greater out-of-round conditions.
9. Alignment Test: Ensure the cutter is aligned properly for a straight cut. Adjust
the cut-off blade so it is just touching the pipe. Rotate the cutter one complete
revolution, lightly scoring the pipe. After the full rotation, the cut-off blade should
return to its original location, indicating that the cutter is aligned properly.
If t he cut-off blade does not return to its original location, adjust the cutter and
repeat the alignment test.
10. Rotate feed knob of cut-off
blade until blade makes
contact with the pipe.
Rotate the cutter the
direction of the arrow
by slipping the handle
over a cutter lug (Figure 3)
and pulling cutter
around the pipe until
the cutter has made one
revolution. Note: The alumi-
num handle can be used for
both rotating cutter and
feeding cut-off and bevel
blades.
11. Feed the cut-off blade into the pipe, tightening the feed knob 1/2 turn per
revolution of cutter. Excessive turning of feed knob may damage cut-off blade.
Optional To Bevel Pipe:
12. Once the cut-off blade is halfway through the pipe, begin to bevel. To bevel
plastic pipe, rotate the bevel feed knob until the tool touches the pipe. Rotate
cutter one revolution to be sure bevel tool does not hit any high spots on the pipe.
13. The bevel feed knob should be rotated only 1/4 turn per one revolution of the
cutter. The PLAS4B Bevel Blade #94473 will produce a 15° bevel up to 5/8"
(16 mm) long on both sides of the cut. It is able to bevel both PVC and PE.
14. Once the desired bevel is complete, continue feeding cut-off blade until pipe is
completely cut off. NOTE: Cutting and beveling plastic pipe can be done simulta-
neously as long as the cut-off blade does not cut off the pipe before the bevel is complete.

TO CHANGE CUT-OFF AND BEVEL BLADES

Both cut-off and bevel tools can be replaced in the same manner: Rotate feed knob
clockwise until tool comes out of cutter. Reverse the procedure to replace the tool.
Ensure that the tools face the proper direction, cutting in the same direction as the
arrows on the cast frame.
