Chapter 3
Introduction to the
Super D Pipe Saw
Chapter3, Introduction to the Saw
Read this chapter carefully to become familiar with the
components of the Guillotine Super D pipe saw.
USAGEAND APPLICATIONS
The Guillotine Super D pipe saw is designed for cold-cutting pipes of any material from 10” to 24” diameter, as well
as solids such as bar stock and rails. The saw has a “V”saddle base that ensures square alignment with the workpiece, and an autoclamping mechanism to simplify installation on the workpiece. The Guillotine Super D will cut
approximately one diameter inch per minute.
The reciprocating motion of the Guillotine saws lifts the
blade from the cut on the return stroke, greatly increasing
blade life. Blades are easily changed out when worn.
Guillotine saws are available for hydraulic, electric, and
pneumatic power sources. Available accessories include
hydraulic autoclamping for fast setup in difficult environments (such as underwater cutting) and adjustable autofeed
for automated cutting.

Operating
Instructions
Chapter5, Operating Instructions
The Guillotine pipe saw can be installed on a pipe in any
orientation—horizontal, vertical, or at an angle. Once the
saw is clamped into place, you will release tension on the
lift to allow the clamping mechanism to support the saw.
Refer to Chapter 3 if necessary for identification of the
machine’s components. The Super D is operated from the
topside control unit (TCU); fig shows the instruction panel
on the top of the TCU.
Figure 5-1. The instruction label on top of the TCU
provides brief instructions for operating the saw.

OPERATION
REMOVINGTHE SAW
MACHINE SET-UP
Before lifting the Guillotine Super D, make sure the feed
drive is at its starting point. (The saw bow should be
retracted all the way back from the V saddle.) Ensure that
the blade is sharp; install a new blade if necessary (see
Chapter 6 for instructions).
Attach a lift to the lift hooks at the top of the frame. If
1.
you will be setting up the saw vertically (cutting a horizontal pipe), you can lift it into place using just the
two lift hooks.
CAUTION: Before
cutting with the
saw, make sure
you remove the
lifting strap from the frame—
after clamping the saw in
place. Keep the lift attached
to the lift hooks.
CAUTION: Make sure the lift
strap does not bind against
the saw blade or the oscillating bow.
Figure 5-2. There are two lift hooks at the top of the
saw frame.
If you will be using the saw in a horizontal or angled
2.
position (cutting a pipe that is not horizontal), you will
need to attach lift straps to the other end of the saw
frame, as illustrated in Figure 5-3. Adjust the length of
the strap to hold the saw at the required angle.
18Part No. 06-150-510-MAN, Rev. 0-0607E.H. Wachs Company
Figure 5-3. If you ar e positioning the saw horizontally
or at an angle, use the lift hooks and also attach lift
straps around the frame at the locations shown.
Chapter 5, Operating Instructions: Machine Set-Up
Lift the saw carefully, positioning the lift so that it is
3.
over the center of gravity as you pick it up. If you are
lifting from the top of the saw and the other end starts
to slide, stop and reposition the lift.
Move the saw into position on the pipe so that the V
4.
saddle is against the pipe at the cut position. The saw
should be close to square with the pipe; the clamping
mechanism will precisely square it.
WARNING:
The saw may slide
or shift abruptly
when it is lifted.
Proceed slowly and reposition the lift if necessary to
keep it over the saw’s center
of gravity.
Figure 5-4. Position the saw so that both touch points
of the V saddle are against the pipe. (The photo shows
the touch point on one side.)
