Information english
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured values determined according to EN60745.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN60745:
Vibration emission value ah<2,5 m/s2, UncertaintyK =1.5 m/s2.
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with
a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be
used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the
tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
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, organisation of work patterns.

General power tool safety
warnings
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
tools. 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)
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.
f) 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.
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 energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
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 or
remove the battery 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) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
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.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety warnings for circular
saws
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from
cutting area and the blade. Keep your
second hand on motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
NOTE: For circular saws with 140 mm or smaller
diameter blades, the “Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle, or motor housing” may be omitted.
b) Do not reach underneath the work piece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
work piece.
Safety english

9
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
work piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the work piece.
d) Never hold the work piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the work piece
to a stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance
and safety of operation.
i) Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your
hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
j) Do not work overhead with the saw. In this
manner you do not have sufficient control over the
power tool.
k) Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not
designed for operation with a saw table.
l) Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades.
Such saw blades can easily break.
m) When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance. The power tool is guided more secure with
both hands.
n) Secure the work piece. A work piece supported by
pipe holders is held more secure than by hand.
o) Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
p) Never use the machine with a damaged cable or
a damaged battery. Do not touch the damaged
cable and pull the mains plug when the cable
is damaged while working. Damaged cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Further safety instructions for
all saws
Kickback causes and related warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the work piece toward the
operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the pipe causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
saw and position your arms to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to either side of the
blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
NOTE: For circular saws with 140 mm or smaller
diameter blades, the words “with both hands” may be
omitted.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the work piece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the
work piece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large pipes to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large pipes tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the pipe on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the pipe.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Safety instructions for plunge
type saws
a) Check guard for proper closing before each use.
Do not operate the saw if guard does not move
freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp
or tie the guard with the blade exposed. If saw is
accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check
to make sure that guard moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard
return spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced §before
use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Additional specific safety rules
The pipe saw must never be used in the following
cases, if:
• There is water or another liquid, explosive gases or
poisonous chemicals inside the pipe to be cut.
Safety english

10
• The power switch is faulty.
• The power cable is faulty,
• The blade is bent.
• The blade is blunt or in poor condition.
• The plastic components are cracked or have parts
missing.
• The gripper unit is not properly tightened around the
pipe or if it is warped.
• The blade guard cover or moving blade guard has
been damaged or removed from the machine.
• The locking mechanisms do not work properly
(UNLOCK-button).
• The pipe saw has become wet.
When using the pipe saw, the following factors
must always be taken into consideration:
• Support tubes to minimise the risk of blade
pinching.
• Ensure that the pipe to be cut is empty.
• Ensure that the blade is correctly installed.
• Ensure that the diameter and thickness of the blade
are suitable for the pipe saw and that the blade is
suitable for the rpm-range of the machine.
• Never use sideways force to stop the blade, always
allow the blade to stop freely.
• Check the attachments of the blade guards.
• Never use excessive force when using the pipe
saw.
• Never use the pipe saw to lift the pipe while it is still
attached to the pipe.
• Avoid overloading the electric motor.
• Always follow the safety and operating instructions
and current regulations.

operating instructions
Before operating the tool
Ensure that the motor unit is in the upright
position. The yellow mark of the UNLOCK button
is visible.
Check that the blade 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.
If plastic pipes have been cut with the pipe saw
(resulting in long, statically charger slivers), open
the blade guard cover, and clean carefully the
lower blade guard and the entire pipe saw.
Connection to the mains power supply
Ensure that the mains voltage is the same as
indicated on the rating plate (Figure A/14).
Connect the pipe saw to the power outlet only
after having checked this.

10 mm
Cutting mark
Cutting point
Precise setting of the cutting point
When you mark the cutting point on the pipe
to be cut, deduct 10 mm from the required
dimension (Easy-to-remember rule: The cutting
mark location requires a measurement of -
10 mm.) (Figure C)
Setting the pipe on supports
Use the system supports when cutting pipes.
This will ensure safe working and optimum
result. 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 wheel
contact the pipe (adjust if required e.g. with
pieces of lumber) (Figure B).
When cutting short pipes (25 cm or less) place
the supports so that the cutting point is outside
supports (Figure D). Support the pipe with your
left leg, if required. Proper arrangements will
prevent the blade from jamming as the pipe is
cut through.

Operation english
Pre-setting the correct bevel depth to the saw
You can cut OD 15 -170 mm cast iron and plastic
pipes or you can cut + bevel those pipes OD
50 - 170 mm. There is an adjustment lever in the
gripping unit of the saw for to pre-set the correct
depth for the bevel (Figure A 18). If you want to
cut+bevel pipe with OD 50-90 mm set the lever to
A. If you want to cut+bevel pipe which OD is 90-
125 mm sett he lever to B. If you want to cut+bevel
pipe which OD is 125 -170 mm set the lever to C.
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. E/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
(Figure E/2). 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.
Piercing the pipe wall
Grip the gripper firmly with your right hand and place
your left foot on top of the pipe approximately 40 cm
from the pipe saw. Turn the saw until it leans slightly
forward (Figure H). When starting the motor, first of
all release the power-switch locking lever (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 pipe wall by pressing
pipe saw operating handle downwards slowly and
evenly until the blade 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. H/1). Look
at the UNLOCK button during the piercing operation.
When UNLOCK button is locked, i.e. the yellow
mark disappears (Fig. G), 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. H/3). 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. J). 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. K).
Select the feeding speed as per the material and
the thickness of the wall. Too high speed can
damage the blade, overload the pipe saw and
give a poor sawing result.

Operation english
When the pipe is cut off, push the UNLOCK
button forward until the yellow mark is visible
and the locking is released (Fig. L/1). Now raise
the motor unit to starting position (Fig. L/2).
Release the power switch (Fig. L/3). When
the blade is stationary, remove the pipe saw
from the pipe by loosening the gripped handle
(Fig. L/4). 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 by pushing
the UNLOCK button forward until the UNLOCK
button 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 position or teeth of the blade
contact the pipe to be sawn.
Overload protection and spin-speed
regulator
There is a spin-speed regulator in Exact
Cut+Bevel 170E A suitable spin speed is selected,
determined by the material to be sawed / beveled.
There is also an automatic overload protection
in the regulator. When working with cast iron use
always the highest (6) speed.
In the case of overload: Release the power switch
(Fig. L/3). Push the UNLOCK button forward
until the yellow mark is visible and the locking is
released (Fig. L/1). The electronics circuit limits
the current and stops the motor. When the motor
stops due the overload, the red light on the pipe
cutter is turned on. The pipe cutter has to cool
down while the electronics percepts the internal
temperature. The motor will not start (even the red
light turned off) until the switch is released and
pressed once more time or plug disconnect and
reconnect. The red light indicates to the user that
the machine was overloaded.
The indicator light in question turns on for
a moment every time the motor is started. This in
normal and does not require any actions.
Straightness of cut and adjusting wheel
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.

Operation english
For this reason the result may vary, and the
cut may turn to left or right (misalignment of
the cut’s starting and ending point) (Fig. M).
The pipe saw gripper has one adjustable
wheel (Fig. A/9) which be used for improving
the quality of the cut and for reducing the
misalignment. The adjustment applies only to
the actual pipe size and material, and the wheel
may have to be readjusted as the blade is worn.
To adjust the wheel, loosen the locking screw
(Fig. N/1) and turn the wheel centre clockwise
or counter clockwise to the desired position
(Fig. N/2), and lock the wheel again (Fig. N/3).
If the blade has wandered too much to the
left, adjust wheel centre clockwise (- sign). If
the misalignment is to the right, adjust counter
clockwise (+ sign). The extent of the adjustment
depends on the actual misalignment. Remember
to lubricate the adjusting wheel at regular
intervals.
Installing and changing
the blade/disc
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it
from 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. O/1)
by opening the two screws (Fig. O/2). Press
the spindle-lock button (Fig. A/11) and
simultaneously rotate the blade by hand until
the spindle-lock button drops a further distance
of about 0,2”. Now the rotation of the blade
is prevented. Use the blade key to open the
blade attachment bolt. Remove the securing
bolt (Fig. O/3), the washer (Fig. O/4), the blade
flange disc (Fig. O/5), and the blade (Fig. O/6).
Before installing a new blade, check that both
blade flange discs are clean. Place a new
or sharpened blade on the back flange disc
(Fig. O/7), so that the marked side of the blade
is facing outwards and the arrows on the blade
are facing in the same direction as the rotation
direction markings on the inside of the blade
case. Ensure that the new blade goes right to
the bottom in the back flange disc. Put the blade
flange disc, the washer, and the securing bolt
back in place. Press the spindle lock button and
tighten the blade securing bolt. Put the blade
guard cover back in place and tighten the bolts.

Maintenance, Environment, Guarantee english
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 agency.
Blade/Disc
Check the condition of the disc. Replace a bent,
blunt, or otherwise damaged disc with a new
one. Using a blunt disc you can overload the
pipe saw’s electric motor. When you notice
that the disc is blunt, do not continue sawing
with it. Don’t use normal saw blade with Exact
Cut+Bevel 170E saw.
Use only diamond discs.
Gripper unit
Clean the gripper unit regularly with compressed
air. Lubricate the gripper’s wheel axles (Fig. P/1)
and its joints (Fig. P/2). Also clean and lubricate
the gripper’s trapezoidal screw (Fig. P/3) and
the two worm screws on it (Fig. P/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.
Motor
Keep the motors cooling vents clean.
Plastic parts
Clean the plastic parts with a soft rag. Only use
mild detergents. Do not use solvents or other
strong detergents as they may damage the
plastic parts and paint surfaces.
Power cable
Check the condition of the power cable
regularly. A faulty power cable should
always be replaced at an approved
service agency. Correct use and regular
servicing and cleaning will ensure the
continued operation of the pipe saw.

Tips for using Exact
PipeCut saws
Diamond blade should only be used for cutting
cast iron pipe. It is not recommended to cut cast
iron with TCT or Cermet blades.
Clean the inside of the blade guards after cutting
plastic pipe.
Smaller pipe is easily cut by rotating the pipe
by hand either on a table or on the floor. Please
note: rotate pipe towards you when rotating by
hand and be careful not to rotate too fast.
Check the condition of the blade regularly.
The cutting procedure is divided into two stages;
first saw through the pipe wall, then complete
the cut by sawing around it.
Do not overload the saw by cutting continuously.
The saw will be overheated and the metal parts
can become burning hot. This will also damage
the motor and the blade. The rule is 2.5/1.5
minutes in use and 7.5/8.5 minutes rest.
Keep the feeding speed constant. This will
extend the lifetime of the blade. For example
cutting time for a steel pipe diameter of 6’’
(170 mm), and a wall thickness of 1/5’’ (5 mm),
is 15-20 seconds, and for a cast-iron pipe
diameter of 4’’ (110 mm), with a wall thickness of
1/6’’ (4 mm) is 20 to 25 seconds.
Always keep the motor unit in the upright
position. The yellow mark of the unlock button is
then visible. Never place the Pipe Cut Saw on
the pipe in the locked / cutting position.
Factors that affect the lifetime of the saw
blade:
• material of the pipe
• correct blade type for material being cut
• correct motor speed setting (models
170E/220E)
• wall thickness of the pipe
• feeding speed
• smoothness of the pipe
• user’s general skills
• cleanness of the pipe
• rust on the pipe
• welded seam in the pipe
• blade speed
Factors that affect the straightness of the
cut:
• condition of the saw blade
• wall thickness of the pipe
• feeding speed
• smoothness of the feed
• user’s general skills
• cleanness of the pipe
• roundness of the pipe
• gripper unit too loose or too tight
• blade assembled too tight
