Safety Instructions:
WARNING!
Before starting up machine make sure you completely read these instructions and the power cutter operation manual. Be familiar with operation of the machine before operation!
Your SpeedMill comes with two Operator’s Manual’s. This one for the SpeedMill attach­ment and one for the K750 power head. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all opera­tors of this SpeedMill have read and under­stood the content of both manuals before using the product.
WARNING!
NEVER use a SpeedMill as a standard power cutter. A SpeedMill is ONLY for USES listed in this document.
Cut only PVC plastic pipe with a machine equipped with a SpeedMill Accessory! DO NOT cut other materials.
Use ONLY High Speed Reinforced Abrasive Blades with this machine.
DO NOT use carbide tipped, wood cutting, or circular saw blades with this machine.
DO NOT use diamond or rescue blades with this ma­chine! Cutting plastics with a diamond or rescue blade can cause kickback. The heat produced melts the material and it sticks to the blade.
DO NOT cut ductile iron pipe with a SpeedMill.
DO NOT touch Bowl when machine is running. Speed-
Mill Bowl Rotates with Blade.
Before performing any maintenance, ALWAYS locate the machine on a level surface with the engine / motor OFF and the start switch in the OFF position, and the power source disconnected.
EVACUATE PIPE CONTENTS before cutting; else EX­PLOSION may occur. Static electricity from the cutting operation may cause sewer or other gas within the pipe to explode.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Read, understand, and follow all warnings and instructions in this and the K750 manuals. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury as well as damage to the equipment. It is not possible to cover all possible risk situations that can arise in conjunction with pipe cutting and beveling within these instructions. Use common sense and caution at all times.
Remember: “If you don’t know – don’t do.” The SpeedMill may not be modied from its original design without the manufacturer’s approval in writing. Unapproved
modications can result in serious injury. All operators must be trained in the proper use of this machine. It is the owner’s responsibility to explain the content of
this manual to all operators and ensure that they receive the necessary training to safely operate this machine.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert; watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating this SpeedMill or any other power tool. Do not use when tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication, or any substance that could
affect your judgment. A moment of inattention during operation may result in serious personal injury.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach or operate from a ladder. Do not operate above chest height. If necessary use proper scaffolding to reach a safe operating height.
Use personal safety equipment. Always wear eye protection, hard hat, hearing protection, non-slip safety shoes and gloves. Respirator mask must be used when dry-cutting. (Reference OSHA 29CFR 1910.95, 1910.133-138) Dress properly. Never wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep long hair tied back. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from the rotating blade.
The operator must wear protective clothing appropriate to the work he is doing.
Do not use the SpeedMill if the ON/OFF switch does not turn it on or off. Have the switch replaced before the
SpeedMill is used again.
WORK AREA SAFETY Keep the work area organized. Maintain a rm grip of the SpeedMill and have a proper footing and balance at all
times.
Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. Bystanders can be a distraction that can cause you to lose control.
CHOICE OF BLADE
Use only 12” high speed abrasive concrete cutting blades for cutting specied PVC pipe with the SpeedMill.
Use only blades designated High Speed blades with a minimum speed rating of 6300 rpm. Many blades are not made for hand held high speed saw and they all have a lower speed rating (marked on their label) Such blades might brake at higher speed with possible severe injury as a result.
Diamond blades shall not be used while cutting any plastic pipe due to the increased risk of “kick-back”. (Regard­ing kick-back see K750 operation manual).
Use of carbide tipped blades or any blade with cutting teeth, is a violation of OSHA regulations and shall never be used.
Do not operate your SpeedMill in an explosive atmosphere. Sparks may ignite ammable liquids, gases, or dust. This is a concern when old pipes are being repaired.

CAUTION!
Always install the 8” SpeedMill Bowl (P/N 542 19 61-
89) before using the machine! The 8” SpeedMill must always be installed even if the machine will only be used to cut and bevel smaller diameter pipes. Besides serving as a beveller for 8” pipes the 8” ange is also designed to cover the area between the guard and the ange and to prevent unintentional contact with the blade.
Install and Re-tighten the 2” (50.8mm) hub nut. Torque to 130-215 in-lbs. (15-25 Nm). NOTE: Do not tighten exces­sively – nut will tighten during cutting process – making dis­assembly difcult.
Loosen and remove the blade shaft screw & washer from the power cutter. Use the combi-
nation spanner supplied, and
a Screwdriver to lock the blade
shaft in position, if required.
First Time Assembly:
Tools Required:
• Screwdriver (for Arbor Lock)(Not Included).

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE:
CAUTION!
Allow SpeedMill Bowls to cool before performing any main­tenance.
NOTICE!
DO NOT hold SpeedMill Bowls using a screwdriver or other device through the slots in the bowl. Damage to the bowls or abrasive coating could occur.
DO NOT use a screw driver or similar in the slots of the SpeedMill Bowls to lock the blade. If you do it is likely the anges will be damages and become unusable.
Use the proper procedure to lock the blade when at­taching or removing the blade or anges – See below, or see K750 Operation Manual.
When removing the Hub nut, use a Screwdriver to lock the blade shaft in position. Push the screwdriver into the slot (see picture) and rotate the ar­bor until the screwdriver stops
the rotation.
CONVERTING THE SPEEDMILL TO A REGU­LAR POWER CUTTER.
The guard on the SpeedMill is designed to work together with the special outer ange and SpeedMill Bowls used on the SpeedMill. The 8” (200mm) SpeedMill Bowl must always be installed when the SpeedMill is used and the SpeedMill shall not be used for any other purpose than those mentioned in “USES” section of this document. Should you desire to convert the SpeedMill to a regular power cutter you must replace the cutting head with an original 12” or 14” cutting head attachment. We recom­mend you have an authorized dealer do the conversion.
WARNING!
NEVER use the SpeedMill as a regular power cutter!
Inspect the SpeedMill Bowls
Always inspect the SpeedMill Bowls before you start cut­ting. Small nicks or scratches can be sanded smooth. If the SpeedMill Bowl has been bent or distorted in any way it must be replaced.
Cleaning
Plastic debris from a small-
10 SpeedMill
er ange often lodges itself in the bigger ange during cutting. This can easily be removed once the anges have cooled down. Use compressed air to blow shavings from Speed­Mill Bowl. DO NOT scrap shavings from bowl using a screwdriver or any other hard metallic tool. Damage to the bowls or abrasive coating could occur.
