OPERATION

WARNING! Before using the pipe cutter ensure that you have read and understood the Safety Instructions in Section 1.
4.1. Place the pipe to be cut against the two rollers and turn the hand wheel to bring the blade up against the other side of the pipe so that it is held in place under light pressure. Check that the cutter can rotate smoothly around the pipe.
4.2. If the pipe to be cut is of a soft formulation, increase the pressure until the mark on the side of the sprung roller mechanism lines up with the ‘SOFT’ marking on the main body as shown in (fig.1).

4.3. If the pipe to be cut is of a hard formulation, increase the pressure until the mark on the side of the sprung roller mechanism lines up with the ‘HARD’ marking on the main body as shown in (fig.2).

4.4. When the pressure is correctly set, begin to rotate the cutter slowly around the tube. Continue to carefully rotate the cutter until the pipe is cut.
4.5. If the cutter is cutting too slowly, increase the pressure by turning the handwheel by a quarter turn until the pipe is cut.
