WARNING: EXTREMELY Sharp Blade - Close Blade When Not in Use!
Warning!
*Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment, including cut resistant gloves, while handling
and using the Guillotine Cutter.
Operation:
Before operating the cutter, remove any dirt from around the pipe on each side of the cut so that the pipe and saddle will
make unobstructed contact. It is strongly recommended the blade is sharpened
before each use. Keeping the blade sharp results in straighter, easier cuts and
will extend the life of the blade. (See Care of Blade)
1. Retract the blade by turning the handle sufficiently to allow the tip of the blade to be above
the top of the pipe with the cutter frame closed.
2. Open the cutter by depressing the latch on the side. Use caution, exposed blade may cause
serious injury.
3. Place cutter over pipe, close the lower yoke, center blade over line to be cut.
4. Pull the cutter up to engage the saddle and tighten the handle to push the blade into
the pipe.
5. Continue feeding handle down to complete the cut.
NOTE: Make sure the cutter is perpendicular to the pipe. To aid in making a straighter cut,
turn handle smoothly and do not tip or twist cutter. Leave blade closed down, until next cut
is made.
Maintenance:
For ease of operation and greatest tool life, use a small amount of lubricating oil on the lower yoke
hinge, the main feed screw threads, and at the end of the main feed screw near the retaining collar. Be
sure to wipe off any excess oil that might contact the pipe and cause failure of a fused joint.
Care of Blade:
Keep blade free of dirt. Clean with a soft cloth and soap. Do not use abrasive material that could damage the coating. Use a flat 220 grit or finer
sharpening stone. Sharpen the blade by holding the sharpening stone at a 20° angle to the blade and run the stone along the edge the entire
length of the blade four times on each side and one light, final pass on the original starting side. Watch the REED blade care video:

NOTES:
• Temperature impacts pipe density. Cold temperatures (below freezing) can significantly shorten blade life.
• Blade is very sharp. Take care when reaching in that area.
• For operator and blade safety, always transport the cutter with the blade fully seated in the base of the cutter.
• Use the blade guard since it protects the blade and the operator.
REED strongly recommends use of the PEGR7 Static Grounding Device (#04621) with Guillotine Cutters. Use a grounding accessory as a
precaution against static build-up. Dissipate the charge and minimize the possibility of ignition.
