Information

English

Please observe the article number on the type plate
of your machine. The trade names of the individual
machines may vary. Only for power tools without
reduced starting current: Starting cycles generate
brief voltage drops. Interference with other
equipment/machines may occur in case of
unfavorable mains system conditions. Malfunctions
are not to be expected for system impedances
below 0.36 ohm.

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 significantly 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, organize work patterns.

Noise/vibration Information

The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a
standardized test given in EN60745.

Use ear protection!

Vibration level values (sum of vectors of three

directions) are defined in accordance with standard
EN60745: Vibration rate = 2.84 m/s ²,
Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s².

The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a
standardized test given in EN60745 and may be

General power tool safety instructions
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire 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 battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

1 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 flammable
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.

2 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 took. Unmodified
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) Damaged cable should be changed in the authorized
service center.
f) 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.
g) 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
h) Take electric tools by isolated handle, because
during the operation it can connect to flush conductor
and own cable. If tool relates to voltage-carrying
cables, voltage can pass to metal parts and it increases
the risk of electric shock.

3 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 influence 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 finger on the switch
or energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Do not operate tool, if its blade/discs are not in
place.
e) 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.
f) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
g) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
h) Do not put your hands inside the pipe during the
operation. Take care, that no one will push anything
inside the pipe during the operation.
i) Do not let your knowledge and permanent using of
instrument to affect your care. You should use
always the safety instructions. Uncaring work can
induce the serious injuries in a second.
i) Install the pipe securely. Pipe support are more
reliable for holding hold the pipe than do it by hands.
j) Do not put your hands to the waste disposal box
(vacuum cleaner connection, extra equipment).
Moving parts can cause injury.

4 Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Dot not force the
power tool. If the power tool is forced to be used,
using is more dangerous and the quality of using is
worse.
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 with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control. If tool is
broken, before operation it must be repaired. Most
accidents occur as a result of poor maintenance of
tools.

Safety

English

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.
h) Keep handles and other gripping surfaces dry and
clean without oil and grease. Slim handles and other
gripping surfaces using is dangerous for the power
tool and they сomplicate tool’s using in unexpected
situations.
i) Do not use dull or damaged Disc. Blade flange
and mounting bolts are available for tool’s optimum
operating ja safety.

Operation

English

Exact PipeCut 280 Pro Series
/ 360 Pro Series / 450 Pro Series pipe
cutting system operation instructions

Before operation the tool

- Ensure that motor unit is in the upright position.

The yellow mark of the UNLOCK SWITCH is
visible.

- Check that the disc is correctly fitted, in good

condition and suitable for the material to be cut.

- Ensure the pipe saw guide wheels rotate.

- Ensure the support wheels rotate.

- Check the operation of the lower blade guard.

- Ensure the pipe is empty.

Connection to the mains power supply

FIGURE B /1

Ensure that the mains voltage is the same as
indicated on the rating plate (Fig A/13). Connect the
pipe saw to the power outlet only after having
checked the above points first.

Setting the pipe on supports

Use the system supports when cutting pipes. This
will ensure safe working and optimum results. Work
on flat surface. Place the pipe on two supports so
that the cutting point is between the supports. Place
two more support under both ends of the pipe.
Check that all support wheels contact the pipe
(adjust if required e.g. with pieces of lumber) (Fig
B/1). When cutting short and light weight pipes,
place the supports so that the cutting point is outside
supports (Fig B/2). Support the pipe with your left
leg, if required. Proper arrangements will prevent the
disc from jamming as the pipe is cut through.

Attaching the pipe saw to the pipe

Open the pipe saw's gripper unit enough to suit the
diameter of the pipe by rotating the adjustment
handle located at the rear of the saw (Fig C/1).
Position the pipe saw on top of the pipe so that the
edge of the lower blade guard is at the cutting mark.
Fasten the pipe saw to the pipe by turning the
gripper adjustment handle until the gripper grips
firmly the pipe to be cut (Fig C/2). Lock the
mechanism by turning the gripper safety (Fig C/3).
Hold the pipe in place and ensure that pipe saw
moves freely in the direction the pipe is fed. For
sake of safety ensure the pipe saw leads are to the
left of the pipe saw. The pipe saw is now ready for
cutting.

Operation

English

Piercing the pipe wall

Grip the gripper firmly with your right hand and place
your left foot on top of the pipe approximately 50 cm
from the pipe saw. Turn the saw until it leans slightly
forward (Figure I). When starting the motor, first of all
release the power-switch locking lever (Fig G/1) and
push the power switch all the way down (Fig G/2).
Before starting to saw, wait until the disc reaches full
speed. Pierce the pipe wall by pressing pipe saw
operating handle downwards slowly and evenly until
the blade/disc has cut through the pipe wall (at this
stage the pipe must not rotate) and the motor unit is
locked in the sawing position (Fig I /1). Look at the
UNLOCK SWITCH during the piercing operation. When
UNLOCK SWITCH is locked, i.e. the yellow mark
disappears (Fig H),the pipe saw is locked in the sawing
position, and you can safely start sawing around the
pipe.

Sawing around the pipe

Start sawing by feeding the pipe saw forward and fix
the pipe with your left foot (Fig F/2). After that release
the pipe (remove your left foot from the pipe) and turn
the pipe saw backwards, whereby the pipe will also be
rotated backwards (Fig G). Start a new feeding
movement, and feed continuously forward ca. 1/6 of
the pipe's circumference. Repeat until the pipe is cut off
(Fig H). Select the sawing / feeding speed as per the
material and the thickness of the wall. Too high speed
can damage the blade/disc, overload the pipe saw and
give a poor sawing result.

FIGURE D

FIGURE E

FIGURE F

When the pipe is cut off, push the UNLOCK SWITCH
forward until the yellow mark is visible and the locking
is released (Fig L/1). Now raise the motor unit to
starting position (Fig I/2). Release the power switch
(Fig I/3). When the blade/disc has stopped, open the
gripper safety mechanism (Fig I/4) and disengage the
pipe saw from the pipe by loosening the gripper
adjustment handle (Fig I/5). Ensure that the moving
lower blade-guard is lowered into safety position.

Should there be problems during piercing or sawing,
abnormal sounds or vibrations due to which you have
to interrupt sawing before the pipe is cut through,
release the blade/disc by pushing the UNLOCK
SWITCH forward until the UNLOCK SWITCH 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
sawing the position or teeth of the blade contact the
pipe to be sawn. Ensure, that the blade/disc is not
connected to pipe during the motor operating.

Overload protector and rotation speed control

The saw has a two-speed rotation speed control (Fig
A/15). When sawing stainless or acid-proof steel use
the lower rotation speed l. When sawing other
materials use the faster rotation speed ll.
The saw also has an overload protector which
switches the power off automatically in an overload
situation. The motor part has a red indicator light
(Fig A/5).

Meaning of indicator lights (FIGURE J)
GREEN If green light is on, the motor’s

temperature and power supply are

within the norm.
Go ahead You can continue using the tools.
YELLOW If yellow light begins to flash, the

motor and power supply must be

cooled down.
Go ahead You should slow down the cutting

speed (It’s possible, that you are

using a worn-out blade/disc)

RED If the red light begins to flash, this

then automatically reduces the

current motor power to the

minimum. The Motor is still running,

but the motor power is limited to a

minimum, so that cutting process

cannot be continued.
Go ahead Press the motor switch and let it

run freely (UNDER NO LOAD) until

the green light is on.

ATTENTION! If the yellow light begins to flash

continuously, it indicates that the

motor control unit has been

damaged. You can finish the

sawing, but the saw should take out

for service. If the motor control unit

is not repaired, the motor of the saw

will be broken.

Improving possible misalignment of the cut

The cut is affected by many factors, e.g. the size of
the pipe, the material, the wall thickness, the quality
of the pipe's surface, the roundness, welded seams,
blade condition, feed rate, operator's experience.
For this reason, the saw may move to left or right
cussing unperfect cut (see Fig K).

Models 280 Pro Series / 360 Pro Series / 450 Pro
Series cutting results adjustment

Within the gripping devices of these models there are
eight control wheels. One of them is the adjustment
wheel (FIGURE A/9). Please note that adjustment by
this wheel concerns only the size of one pipe and
material and the wheel may need to be adjusted again
as the saw blade or disc wears out.

Adjust the wheel by releasing the locking screw
(FIGURE L1) and turning the central part of the wheel
CLOCKWISE or ANTICLOCKWISE to obtain the
desired position (FIGURE L/2), lock the wheel again
(FIGURE L/3). If the saw is moving from right to left
(FIGURE K/a), turn the central part of the adjustment
wheel so that "d" is smaller (FIGURE K/a). If the cutting
is carried out according to Figure K/b, proceed as
shown in Fig. K/b. It is recommended to lubricate the
adjusting wheel periodically.

In these models the angle of the entire engine can be
adjusted left or right. The laser beam can be used to
ensure correct adjustment.

Adjustment stages

1. Mark the reference surface precisely on the pipe at
an angle of 90 degrees in the longitudinal direction.

2. Place the saw on the pipe so that the red line of the
laser is next to the reference value at an angle of 90
degrees. Tighten the grip to the normal tension level.
Check if the laser line and set value are at the same
level. FIGURE M/A describes the situation when the
laser bean is at different level with the reference value.

FIGURE L

FIGURE M /a

d d was smaller

Rotate wheel so that
d d was bigger

3. Release the locking screws of the adjustment plate 1
and 2 (FIGURE M/b).

4. Adjust the engine part to the right or left as needed
so that the laser beam and the value are in the same
direction. Check they are in the same direction after
adjustment.

5. Tighten the grip unit and check that the laser beam
is in one direction with the reference value set for the
pipe.
FIGURE M/c describes a situation when the laser
beam is at the same level as the reference value.

6. Tighten the locking screws of the adjustment plate
very tightly.

CAUTION! The motion sensor located in the back of the
adjustment plate does not report the exact size to
adjust. The sensor shows only the direction of
adjustment and the category of magnitude.

Operation

English

CAUTION! If a part of the engine is regulated by the
laser, the gripping device must be attached to the pipe
with normal tension. Thus, you can be sure that the
saw fastening corresponds to the standard condition of
operation.

If you are not satisfied with the result of the work of
your saw and you need to adjust it again then always
start adjusting using the adjustment wheel.

Installing and changing the saw blade

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
Turn the unit off and disconnect it from the
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 N/1) by opening
the screw (Fig N/2). Press the spindle- lock button (Fig
A/12) and simultaneously rotate the blade/disc by hand
until the spindle-lock button drops a further distance of
about 7 mm. Now the rotation of the blade/disc is
prevented. Use the blade/disc key to open the
blade/disc attachment bolt. Remove the securing bolt
(Fig N/3), the washer (Fig N/4), the blade (Fig N/5)

Before installing a new blade/disc, check that both
blade flange discs are clean. Place a new or sharpened
blade/disc on the back flange (Fig N/6), so that the
marked side of the blade/disc is facing outwards and
the arrows on the blade/disc are facing in the same
direction as the rotation direction markings on the
inside of the blade/disc case. Ensure that the new
blade/disc goes right to the bottom in the back
blade/disc flange. Put the blade flange disc, the
washer, and the securing bolt back in place. Press the
spindle lock button and tighten the blade/disc securing
bolt. Put the blade guard cover back in place and
tighten the finger bolts

FIGURE N

Maintenance and servicing instructions

Remove the power plug from the socket before
servicing or cleaning the pipe saw. All maintenance
operations carried out on the pipe saw's electrical
components must be carried out at an approved
service center or engineer

Blade/Disc

Check the condition of the blade/disc. Replace a bent,
blunt, or otherwise damaged blade/disc with a new
one. Using a blunt blade or disc can overload the pipe
saw's electric motor. When you notice that the blade or
disc is blunt do not continue sawing with it, as the
blade/disc may become so badly damaged that it will
not be worth sharpening. A blade in sufficiently good
condition can be sharpened a few times by a
professional sharpening company.Diamond X Discs
cannot be sharpened

Gripper unit

Clean the gripper unit regularly with compressed air.
Lubricate the gripper's wheel axles (Fig O/1) and its
joints (Fig O/2). Also, clean and lubricate the gripper's
trapezoidal screw (Fig O/3) and the two worm screws
on it (Fig O/4).

Blade guard

When you have sawn plastic pipes and then intend to
start sawing metal pipes always clean the inside of the
blade guards. Hot particles derived from sawing metal
will burn plastic particles, which may release toxic
smoke. Make it a rule to clean the blade guard
regularly and pay special attention to keep the moving
blade guard movement from becoming hampered.
Lubricate the axis of the moving blade guard regularly.

As an extra equipment you can buy blade
protection with connection for vacuum cleaner.

Exact Pipe Cut operation tips

Diamond blade can only be used for cutting cast or
ductile iron pipes. This pipe material is not
recommended to attempt to cut using to a saw blade of
any type

Clean the inside of the blade guards after cutting
plastic pipes.

The smaller pipe is easier to cut by turning the pipe
manually either on the table or on the floor.

CAUTION! Turn the pipe towards yourself when you do
it manually. Don't turn the pipe too fast.

Check the condition of the pipe regularly.

The cutting process is divided into two stages: first you
need to cut the pipe wall, then cut around the pipe

Do not overload the saw while working without
interruption. The pipecut will overheat and metal parts
can become very hot. In this case, the motor and
blades/discs may also become damaged. Use the
pipecut system in accordance with it’s duty cycle being
continuous cutting 2.5 minutes, then let it cool under no
load for 7.5 minutes.

Maintain a uniform feed speed rate. This increases
the lifespan of the disc. For example a steel pipe
thickness with an O/D diameter 170 mm (6') and wall
thickness-5 mm (1/5'), the cutting time-is15-20
seconds, and accordingly, with a diameter of 4 ' (110
mm) and wall thickness of 1/6 ' ' (4 mm) the cutting
time of cast iron pipe-is 20 – 25 seconds.
