eXact Pipecut V1000 Mode D'emploi page 12

Operation
If you follow the scale of the Pipe Cut the cutting
depth is normally 5-10 mm as the Pipe Cut locks
into sawing position. Finally lock the adjustment with
the safety screw so that the adjustments do not alter
during sawing.
Position the PipeCut V1000 horizontally on top of
the duct so that the sight of the PipeCut V1000 is
placed on the cutting point (Fig E). Hold the duct in
place and ensure that the PipeCut V1000 moves
freely in the direction the duct is fed. To ensure
safety the PipeCut V1000 leads should be to the
left and front of the duct. The PipeCut V1000 is
now ready for use.
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 flatten the duct so the diameter is enlarged.
The wheel pairs must then be adjusted further apart
from each other. This will ensure sufficient 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 firm 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 the operating
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.
Sawing aound 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
your self 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 you reach
the duct seam.
