Noise/Vibration Information
Measured values determined according to EN60745-1:2009 + A11:210 ja EN60745-2-3:210.
Wear hearing protection!

The test was performed using Ø315 thin wall spiral duct.

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may signi¿cantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signi¿cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

Safety

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, ¿ re and/or serious injury
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of À amiable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodi¿ ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inÀ uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your ¿ nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.

h) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

i) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

j) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.

Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot¨be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali¿ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety warnings for circular saws

a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

c) Never hold the workpiece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

d) Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

e) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

f) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

g) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

h) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

i) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction and blade binding.

j) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

k) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

l) Check the operation of the lower guard. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris. m) Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.

n) Do not work overhead with the saw. In this manner you do not have suf¿ cient control over the power tool.

o) Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not designed for operation with a saw table.

p) Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw blades can easily break.

q) When working with the machine, always hold it ¿ rmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hand.

Additional speci¿ c safety rules

The pipe saw must never be used in the following cases, if:

There is water or another liquid, explosive gases or poisonous chemicals inside the pipe to be cut.
The power switch is faulty.
The power cable is faulty,
The blade is bent.
The blade is blunt or in poor condition.
The plastic components are cracked or have parts missing.
The gripper unit is not properly tightened around the pipe or if it is warped.
The blade guard cover or moving blade guard has been damaged or removed from the machine.
The locking mechanisms do not work properly (UNLOCK-button).
The pipe saw has become wet.

When using the pipe saw, the following factors must always be taken into consideration:

Support tubes to minimize the risk of blade pinching.
Ensure that the pipe to be cut is empty.
Ensure that the blade is correctly installed.
Ensure that the diameter and thickness of the blade are suitable for the pipe saw and that the blade is suitable for the rpm-range of the machine.
Never use sideways force to stop the blade, always allow the blade to stop freely.
Check the attachments of the blade guards.
Never use excessive force when using the pipe saw.
Never use the pipe saw to lift the pipe while it is still attached to the pipe.
Avoid overloading the electric motor.
Always follow the safety and operating instructions and current regulations.

Exact Papercut V800 pipe saw operating instructions

Before use

Check that the motor unit is in the upright position so that the yellow mark on the unlock button is visible.
Check that the blade is suitable for the material of the duct that is intended to be cut.
Check that the blade is correctly in place and that it is in good condition.
Check that the guide wheels are rotating.
Check that the support wheels are rotating.
Check that the lower blade guard is moving correctly up and down.
Check that the duct intended to be cut is empty.

Connecting the Exact Pipe Cut V800 to the main power supply

Ensure that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate (Figure A/13 ) Connect the Exact Pipe Cut V800 to the power outlet only after having checked these operating instructions.

Setting and marking the cutting point

Mark the cutting point, but remember that you have to cut the duct so that you approach the duct seam towards the closed side of it ( Figure C ). One mark is enough. You do not need to mark all the way around the duct.

Setting the supports for the duct to be cut

The supports for the duct are not delivered with the Exact Pipe Cut V00 but they are recommended accessories. The supports maximise safety and optimise the cutting result. They also reduce the size of the required space for cutting the duct. The cutting should always be done on a Àat surface. Place the duct on three supports so that the middle support is directly beneath where the duct is intended to be cut (Figure B). Make sure that all of the supports are in contact with the duct. Proper arrangements prevent the saw blade from jamming in the duct in the ¿nal stage of the cutting process.
Operation

In case you are not using the supports you need to do the following. Make sure that there is enough space for the duct to rotate a full circle. Place the Exact Pipe Cut V800 so that the electric cord is hanging in front of the duct from where you are standing (Figure C). Also make sure that there is enough loose cord to ensure free movement for the duct. If necessary, use a suitable extension cord.
Operation

To start sawing

Open the safety screw (Figure D1) and adjust the wheel pairs in the Pipe Cut steering device according to the diameter of the duct by rotating the adjustment knob on the back of the Pipe Cut (Fig. D2)

If you follow the scale of the Pipe Cut the cutting depth is normally 10 – 15 mm as the Pipe Cut locks into the correct sawing position. Finally lock the adjustment with the safety screw so that the adjusted position does not alter during sawing.

Position the Papercut V 800 horizontally on top of the duct so that the sight of the Papercut V800 is placed on the cutting point (Fig E). Hold the duct in place and ensure that the Papercut V800 moves freely in the direction the duct is fed. To ensure safety the Papercut V 800 leads should be to the left and front of the duct. The Papercut V 800 is now ready for use.
Operation

The scale on the Pipe Cut indicating duct diameters is approximate. If the thickness of the duct wall intended to be sawn is exceptionally thin or the length of the duct is short, the weight of the Pipe Cut might Àatten the duct so the diameter is enlarged. The wheel pairs must then be adjusted further apart from each other. This will ensure suf¿cient cutting depth for the blade.

Piercing the duct wall

Strive to keep the Pipe Cut in a horizontal position on top of the duct during the entire sawing process. Take a ¿rm hold of the operating handle with your right hand, start the motor by releasing the locking lever on the power switch (Fig. F/1) and push the power switch all the way down (Fig. F/2). Before starting to saw wait until the blade reaches full speed. Pierce the duct wall by pressing theoperating handle down slowly until the blade has cut through the duct wall (at this stage the pipe must not rotate) When the UNLOCK button is locked, i.e. the yellow mark disappears ( Fig. G) , the Pipe Cut is locked and you can safely start sawing around the duct.
Operation

Sawing around the pipe

Start sawing by rotating the pipe with your left hand towards yourself (Fig. H) and keep the pipe saw stable and in a horizontal position in relation to the duct (Fig. J). Continue sawing by rotating the duct calmly and at the most even speed possible towards yourself until the duct is cut off. If you are not using the PipeHolders the pipe will roll backwards while cutting. However, reduce sawing speed as soon as you reach the duct seam.
Operation

The saw can also be steered manually if the sight does not coincide with the starting point of the cut. Follow the sight of the Pipe Cut with your eye until you see the starting point of the cut, turn the saw at a gentle angle towards the initial cut until the duct is cut off (Fig. K) (Tip: If the duct is not cut through clean the resulting batten can be snipped off with a pair of plate shears.)
Operation

Because the duct has a spiral seam, the rotation of it creates an illusion of the pipe moving in relation to the pipe saw. Anyway, if the pipe saw is adjusted correctly to go straigt, the wheels will stear the cut straight.

When the duct is cut off, push the UNLOCK button forward until the yellow mark is visible and the locking is released (Fig. L). Now raise the motor unit to starting position. Release the power switch. Ensure ¿nally that the moving lower blade guard is lowered into safety position (Fig. M)

Select the feeding speed for the desired material and the thickness of the pipe wall. Too high speed can damage the blade, overload the pipe saw and give a poor sawing result. Reduce the feeding speed as you reach the seam.

Should there be any problems during piercing or sawing, abnormal sounds or vibrations due to which you have to interrupt sawing before the pipe is cut through, then release the blade by pushing the UNLOCK button forward until the UNLOCK button is released, and lift the motor unit up. Once the problem is cleared, start sawing again.

Never start the motor, when the motor unit is locked in the sawing position or teeth of the blade contact the duct to be sawn.

Overload protection and spin-speed regulator

Exact V 800 is equipped with overload protection. When the blade is dull or the cutting speed is too high, the overload protection cuts power automatically. In case of overload: Release the power switch. Push the UNLOCK button forward until the yellow mark is visible and the locking is released (Fig. L). Now raise the motor unit to the starting position . Restore the power by pushing the overload protection switch (Fig A/14)

Straightness of the cut and the adjustment feature

Sometimes the cut does not meet the starting point (Fig N).The cut is affected by many factors, e.g. the size of the duct, the material, the wall thickness, the quality of the duct’s surface, the roundness, welded seams, blade condition, feed rate, the operator’s experience. The cutting result may vary and especially so with larger ducts where it can be hard to reach the starting point.
Operation

Operation, Maintenance

There is a feature in the steering device of the Exact Pipe Cut V 800 (Fig.A/6) which, if needed, can improve the sawing result and facilitate to reach the starting point.

Loosen the locking screw (Fig.O/1) with the M5 allen key that is attached to the handle of the pipe saw. There is an adjustment wheel on the right hand side of the steering device ( Fig.O/2). Turn the wheel with your ¿nger either clockwise or anti clockwise. The direction depends on the direction of the misalignment. This adjustment turns the entire motor unit in relation to the steering device. There is also an arrow and a dial on the steering device (Fig.O/3). These will help to gauge the extent of the adjustment. Adjust the motor unit to the desired direction to correct the sawn alignment error. The arrow indicator must move to the direction of the error.
Operation

The extent of the adjustment depends on the extent of the error, duct diameter as well as the strength and material of the duct wall. Tighten the locking screw after the adjustment.

Installing and changing the saw blade

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Remove the power plug from the socket. Check that the motor unit is locked in the upper position.

Remove the blade guard cover (Fig. P/1) by opening the screw (Fig. P/2). Press the spindlelock button (Fig. A/11) and simultaneously rotate the blade by hand until the spindle-lock buttondrops a further distance of about 4 mm. Now the rotation of the blade is prevented. Use the blade key to open the blade attachment bolt. Remove the blade screw ( Fig. P/3 ), the washer (Fig.P/4), the blade À ange disc (Fig. P/5), and the blade (Fig. P/6)
Before installing a new blade, check that both blade À ange discs are clean. Place a new or sharpened blade on the back À ange disc (Fig. P/7), so that the marked side of the blade is facing outwards and the arrows on the blade are facing in the same direction as the rotation direction markings on the inside of the blade case. Ensure that the new blade goes right to the bottom in the back À ange disc. Put the blade À ange disc, the washer, and the securing bolt back in place. Press the spindle lock button and tighten the blade securing bolt. Put the blade guard cover back in place and tighten the screw.

Tips for using Exact PipeCut saws

Diamond blade should only be used for cutting cast iron pipe. It is not recommended to cut cast iron with TCT or Cermet blades. Clean the inside of the blade guards after cutting plastic pipe.

Smaller pipe is easily cut by rotating the pipe by hand either on a table or on the À oor. Please note: rotate pipe towards you when rotating by hand and be careful not to rotate too fast.

Check the condition of the blade regularly.

The cutting procedure is divided into two stages; ¿ rst saw through the pipe wall, then complete the cut by sawing around it.

Do not overload the saw by cutting continuously. The saw will be overheated and the metal partscan become burning hot. This will also damage the motor and the blade. The rule is 2.5 minutes in use and 7.5 minutes rest.

Keep the feeding speed constant. This will extend the lifetime of the blade. For example cutting time for a steel pipe diameter of 6’’ (170mm), and a wall thickness of 1/5’’ (5mm), is 15-20 seconds, and for a cast-iron pipe diameter of 4’’ (110mm), with a wall thickness of 1/6’’ (4mm) is 20 to 25 seconds.

Always keep the motor unit in the upright position. The yellow mark of the unlock button is then visible. Never place the Pipe Cut Saw on the pipe in the locked / cutting position.
