Safety Safety
WARNING
Electric shock
If the device comes into contact with electric
circuits or other power sources, it may
cause serious injury or death. Always make
sure there are no cables, wires, or circuits
running inside or near the pipe to be cut
that could conduct electricity to the device
or user.
Do not work near electrical circuits or
other sources of electric currents.
Make sure that your working area has
no hidden electrical circuits and that
the pipe to be sawn is not in contact
with any kind of electrical circuit, power
source, cable, wire, or transformer.
Make sure that any water coming
from inside the pipe or existing at the
job site does not cause the danger of
electric shock, and that no water comes
into contact with any kind of electrical
circuit, power source, cable, wire, or
transformer.
WARNING
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
Always close the air feed, release the
pressure from the piping, and detach
the tool from the air feed when it is
not being used, repaired, or adjusted,
for example when blades are being
replaced.
Never change blades or service the
tool while it is still connected to the
compressed air source. Always make
sure the device is detached from
the compressed air source when
performing an inspection or servicing
operation. Make sure that the motor
is completely shut off and that the
hoses are not pressurized.
WARNING
Danger of vibration
Avoid exposure to vibration; it can damage
the nervous system as well as hinder blood
circulation in hands and arms. This may
in turn cause pain in sensitive joints and
possible old injuries.
Always use sharp blades whose
condition has been checked. A faulty
or damaged blade must never be used
for sawing, and should be replaced
with an intact blade. Dull, damaged, or
faulty blades may intensify vibration.
Avoid exposure to vibration. Long-term
exposure to vibration may cause
injuries to the user’s joints and/or
nervous system.
Only professional technicians may test
the Exact 360 AIR pipe saw. The pipe saw
may not be tested or serviced by persons
untrained in the servicing of pneumatic
tools. Servicing personnel must be autho-
rized to test these kinds of tools and use
a pneumatic system according to national,
state-specic, and local regulations.
Safety information
• Overspeed caused by excessive air
pressure should be avoided with the
pressure regulators. Recommended
pressures and air quantities must not
be exceeded when using the machine.
Excessive pressure or air quantities may
cause the breakage of the machine,
blade, and accessories, or a hazardous
situation resulting in serious personal
injury or damage to the equipment.
• Couplings and air hoses must be in good
condition. Check the couplings, air hoses,
and compressor before use. Never work
with a damaged coupling, air hose, or
compressor.

Make sure that the pipe being cut is
correctly supported, and that each end
of the pipe on both sides of the sawing
point cannot collapse uncontrollably as
the pipe is being cut.
Make sure that sparks do not endanger
people or materials. Sparks may cause
accidents if they come into contact with
ammable materials, liquids, or gases.
See the section Explosives and
Flammable Materials, Liquids and Gases,
page 5.
Personal protection equipment must
be used as described in the chapter
Personal Protection Equipment, page 5.
Slipping, stumbling, or falling must be
indicated as the reason for a serious
accident or fatality. Watch out for exces-
sively long hoses left at the job site.
Work carefully in unfamiliar locations.
For example, hidden electrical cables
may cause a danger.
Maintain a balanced position and a
steady foothold.
If an improperly installed or damaged
tool vibrates excessively, react quickly.
Shut off the device or cut off the air
pressure if possible.
Stay clear of spinning blades; the rotary
motion may continue for several seconds
after the air feed has been shut off. Do
not detach the pipe saw from the pipe

Dangers related to the compressed air
feed and couplings
• Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
Always check the condition of the cou-
plings, compressor, and hoses before use.
• Always turn off the air feed, release the
pressure from the pipes and/or hoses,
and detach the tool from the air feed
source when it is not being used, repairs
are being made, or parts are being
changed. After the shutoff, the hose is
emptied by pushing the START button
(Picture A1) to cut off the compressed
air ow. The machine will run for a few
seconds, after which the hose will be
emptied of air. Watch out for the spinning
blade and make sure that nothing has
been caught in the saw’s blade or other
parts. Open the coupling only when you
are sure that the hose is unpressurized.
• Never point a compressed air hose at
yourself or anyone else. Always make
sure that the compressed air cannot
send objects or materials ying
dangerously towards yourself or others.
• Compressed air hoses waving around
uncontrollably are extremely dangerous
and can cause serious injuries to people,
as well as damage to equipment,
materials, and the surroundings. Always
check that the hoses and couplings are
intact and tightly closed. Make sure that
couplings are always secured with a
durable safety wire. Check the safety
wire’s condition and durability before use.
• If you use a quick coupling, always make
sure that the couplings are intact. Always
use a safety wire loop to prevent the
hoses’ uncontrolled loosening if the
coupling breaks. Check the use of the
couplings with the applicable safety
instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Read the installation instructions carefully.
• If general purpose threaded couplings are
used, locking pins must also be installed.
• The air pressure must not exceed 6.3
bar (90 PSI) or the pressure specied on
the tool’s rating plate. Exceeding the
pressure recommendation can result in
the machine’s breakage or a hazardous
situation.
• Check the hose’s condition before
installation. A broken or worn out hose
may cause a hazardous situation.
Danger of catching
• Stay clear of spinning grinding disks or
blades. Note that the blade will continue
to spin after the closing of the START valve
and it may continue spinning for several
seconds.
• Entangled clothes, gloves, jewelry, ties,
scarfs or long hair in the tool or its acces-
sories can cause choking, scalp injuries,
and/or deep wounds.
Never open the blade guard (Picture A5) if
you are not sure if the blade or grinding disk
has stopped spinning.
Danger caused by flying objects
• The machining of steel and other materials
can quickly generate ying debris. Even
small objects can injure the eyes and
cause blindness.
• Always use impact-resistant protective
goggles and a safety mask when operating
the tool, working nearby in repair and
servicing areas, or changing parts.
• Make sure that other users in the same
area are also wearing protective goggles
and safety masks.
• Make sure that the pipe to be cut is rmly
supported. A weakly or improperly supported
pipe may cause a hazardous situation.
• Make sure that the sparks generated by
the machine can never, under any circum-
stances, come into contact with ammable
and/or potentially explosive materials or
liquids.
• Make sure that sparks or shavings pose
no danger to other persons at the job site.
Equipment-related risk factors
• Before changing a blade, always shut off
the air feed, release the air pressure from
the hose and detach the tool from the air
feed source.
• Use only the recommended sizes and
types of blades.
• Never use a damaged blade. Always check
the blade’s condition before use.
• Check the blade’s attachment before use.
For more detailed instructions, see the
Changing Blades section, page 18.
Operational risks
• Users and servicers must be able to
physically handle the tool’s size, weight,
and power.
Safety information
• Hold the tool properly: be ready to react
to any abnormal or sudden movement –
keep both hands ready.
• Never use the tool unless the blade is
aligned with the material to be cut.
• The Exact 360 AIR is designed to be used
with a blade guard that must always be in
place to provide protection from shavings
and other debris. Never operate a pipe
saw if the blade guard is improperly
attached.
• Never move the machine while the motor
is running or the blade is rotating.
• Do not use the tool if you are tired or your
alertness has become impaired for health
reasons.
• Do not start working if your foothold or
balance is unsteady. Falling while holding
a saw can cause a hazardous situation.

Dangers caused by repetitive movements
• When operating the tool, the user may
experience discomfort in hands, arms,
shoulders, the neck, and other parts of
the body.
• Work with a comfortable but secure
stance and avoid an awkward or un-
balanced working position. Varying your
position during longer tasks can minimize
discomfort and fatigue.
• Do not ignore symptoms such as
continuous or periodic discomfort, pain,
anxiety, ache, tingling, numbness, a
burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop
using the tool, inform your employer,
and contact a doctor.
Dangers of noise and vibration
• Loud noises can cause permanent hearing
defects and other problems such as
tinnitus. Use the hearing protectors
recommended by the employer or occupa-
tional health and safety regulations.
• Exposure to excess vibration can cause
crippling injuries to the nervous system,
as well as the blood circulation in hands
and arms. Dress warmly and keep your
hands warm and dry. If you experience
numbness, tingling, pain or paleness of
the skin, stop using the tool, inform your
employer, and contact a doctor.
• Hold the tool correctly without excess
effort; the risks caused by vibration gener-
ally increase if you grip the tool too tightly.
Avoidance of unnecessarily high noise and
vibration levels:
• Use and service the tool and select,
maintain, and change the equipment and
accessories according to these operating
instructions.
• Use sound attenuation materials to
minimize the noise generated by the
sawed pipe’s resonance.
Job site-related dangers
• Do not use the saw in areas or on terrain
where there is the danger of falling or slip-
ping. Make sure that your working position
is as steady as possible and that you have
a secure foothold.
• Always make sure that the ditch or shaft
in which you are working is properly rein-
forced and that its edges are not in danger
of collapsing. Make sure that the terrain is
not in danger of giving way or settling.
• If the cutting operation is in a ditch or
trench, access to the STOP button may be
limited. Always have a co-worker be ready
to turn off the air feed to the tool in the
event of an emergency. A separate air feed
with a shutoff device can also be used
for emergency situations.
• Make sure that there are no underground
electrical cables, gas sources, ammable
materials, or other potentially dangerous
objects that could cause a hazardous
situation.
• Slipping, stumbling, or falling can result in
a serious accident or death. Watch out for
hoses at the job site or working platform.
• Avoid the inhalation of dust and vapors, as
well as the handling of job site waste that
could cause health hazards such as, for
example, cancer, birth defects, asthma,
and/or dermatitis. Use dust extraction
equipment and a breathing mask when
the material to be cut releases airborne
particles.
• Some sawing generates dust containing
chemicals that, according to the state of
California, can cause cancer, birth defects,
and other reproductive harm.
Examples of these kinds of chemicals include:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated rubber.
Your risk from these exposures will vary
depending on how often you do this type
of work.
Safety Environment
Environment
Separate collection. When your Exact 360
AIR machine is worn out, do not dispose of
it with normal household waste; the product
must be recycled separately. The separate
collection and recycling of used products
and packaging facilitates the recovery of
materials, reduces environmental pollution,
and decreases the demand for raw
materials. Local regulations allow the
delivery of households’ pipe saws to
municipal waste dumps or a dealer when
buying a new product.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals,
work in a well ventilated area and use
approved protective equipment such as dust
masks specically designed to lter out
microscopic particles. Working without
the appropriate protective equipment is
prohibited.
• Be extremely careful when working in
unfamiliar work surroundings; there may
be hidden dangers such as electrical
cables, as well as gas, water, or other
pipes.
• This tool is not intended for use in poten-
tially explosive atmospheres, nor is it
insulated to provide protection from

english english
Determination of pipe’s sawing point
Mark the sawing point on the pipe to be cut
in a way that deducts one inch from the
required measurement. The blade’s point of
contact with the wall of the pipe is one inch
from the measuring edge in the direction of
the saw’s gripper unit. Always keep in mind
that the measuring edge is set one inch
more than, or correspondingly less than,
the required measurement depending from
which direction the required dimension is
being calculated.
Attachment of pipe saw to pipe
Place the pipe saw above the pipe to be
sawn, ensuring that the gripper encloses the
pipe to be sawn. The diameter of the pipe
saw’s gripper can be adjusted with the gripper
adjustment lock (Picture A4). Place the pipe
saw at the desired position by using the
measuring edge part of the blade guard.
(Picture A 12). Adjust the gripper unit ac-
cording to the pipe’s diameter by turning the
pipe saw’s gripper adjustment lock (Picture
A4) and tightening the saw against the pipe.
Make sure that the compressed air hose or
any other object is not caught between the
gripper and the pipe to be cut. Never begin
sawing if your ngers, or any other improperly
placed clothes or other tools, are between
the gripper and the pipe. Also remove any
possible sand and/or other debris from
under the gripper. Make sure that the saw
travels freely. If the saw is not moving proper-
ly, detach the saw from the pipe and check
the gripper’s wheels and ball bearings, (Picture
A7) cleaning and oiling them if necessary. If
the saw’s gripper unit has been damaged, the
machine cannot be used until it is repaired.
Piercing and sawing of pipe wall
Make sure that all persons working near
the pipe saw have the appropriate personal
protection equipment.
Firmly grip the saw’s operating handle
(Picture D1) with your right hand and hold
the gripper adjustment lock (Picture A4)
with your left hand.
Pierce the pipe’s wall by gently pushing
the pipe saw’s operating handle directly
downwards with an even pressure until
the blade has cut through the pipe’s wall
and the motor unit has locked in the
sawing position. You will feel the locking
when the locking pin (Picture A3) snaps
into the slot designed for it (Picture A6)
and moves slightly to the right.
Now that the pipe saw is locked in the
sawing position and you can safely begin
the pipe’s circular sawing. Never feed the
saw in the wrong direction.
Filling of oil tank
When the oil tank’s piston is visible in the
oil level sight glass, and the motor is not
running other than by pressing the Start
button, oil should be added to the oil tank.
The piston must always be pressed down-
wards when oil is being added.
Make sure that the pressure has been dis-
connected from the saw and that the intake
hose is detached. Unscrew the oil tank’s
cap. Use a clean tool such as a screwdriver
to press the oil tank’s piston into the down-
ward position. This pressing is done through
the hole in the oil cap. While pressing, make
sure that the threading inside the hole
remains undamaged. After pressing, the
piston will no longer be visible in the oil level
sight glass. The best way to ll the oil tank
is with a hypodermic syringe. The volume
of the tank is approximately 0.05 liters, or
about 3 cubic inches. After the lling, screw
the oil tank cap back in place. Any possible
oil spillage should be carefully wiped away.
NOTE! The level of the oil, for example at
the halfway mark, may be visible in the
tank’s oil level sight glass. This does not,
however, indicate the actual level of the oil.
The position of the piston, also visible in the
oil level sight glass, provides the only true
indication of the amount of oil in the tank.
When the piston has been pushed down it is
no longer visible in the oil level sight glass.

Operational instructions Operational instructions
The feeding speed is selected according to
the pipe’s material and wall thickness. An
excessive feeding speed can damage the
blade, overload the pipe saw, and cause
a poor sawing result. Control the feeding
speed during the entire duration of the
cutting. Never completely let go of the saw
while cutting.
The pipe’s circumferential sawing
consists of four steps:
1. Begin the sawing by feeding the pipe
saw forward while gripping the handles
(Picture D1 and D2) until you have
sawed approximately one-fourth of
the pipe’s circumference.
2. Change your grip on the handles:
(Picture D4 and D5) now the pipe saw’s
own weight helps the feeding motion
and you can also slightly brake the
feeding speed.
3. When the pipe saw is under the pipe,
change the position of your grip on the
handles (Picture D2 and D3) and pull
the pipe saw forward and upwards until
you have sawed approximately three-
fourths of the pipe’s circumference.
4. Once again change the position of your
grip on the handles (D1 and D6) and
feed the pipe saw until the cutting is
completed.

If problems, unusual noises, or excessive
vibrations occurring during the piercing or
sawing process require the sawing to be
interrupted before the pipe has been cut,
turn off the motor by pushing the STOP
button (Picture A2) and release the blade
by pulling the locking pin out (Picture A3).
When the problem that caused the interrup-
tion has been claried and xed, resume
sawing after checking that the saw or blade
has not been damaged. Never start the
motor when the motor unit is locked in its
sawing position or when the teeth of the
blade are in contact with the pipe to be sawn.
Underwater sawing
If the pipe to be cut is partially or completely
underwater, or it is possible that water coming
from within the pipe will raise the water level
at the cutting location so high that the saw
will remain submerged during the cutting
period, an additional hose should be used
in the air exhaust opening. The length of the
additional hose should enable it to reach
above the water surface during the entire
duration of the cutting. Connect the additional
hose by threading a ¾ inch thread to the
opening on the rear section of the pipe saw
(Picture A11). Make sure that the hose cannot
wave around uncontrollably, which could
cause a hazardous situation. If necessary,
use a safety wire to support the additional
hose, which should always be intact.
An exhaust pipe attached to the machine
can detrimentally affect sawing efciency,
particularly if the pipe is long or has a
small diameter. When carrying out under-
water sawing, the participation of at least
two workers is recommended. One worker
supervises the progress of the work, and
is close to the compressed air shutoff
valve in case a possible emergency shut-
down of the machine is necessary. The
other worker performs the actual sawing.
Use in cold conditions
WARNING: Use warm safety gloves when
handling the saw in cold conditions. Cold
metal may cause skin injuries.
In cold conditions, note the possible develop-
ment of brittleness in the material to be cut.
Check the blade screw’s tightness before
cutting by using the open-end wrench
(Picture B3) and hex socket key (Picture B2).
Check before use that there is no moisture or
ice inside the compressed air hose you are
using. Possible excess moisture and pieces
of ice may damage the hose, resulting in
personal injuries or damage to the materials.
Make sure that you use oil that suits the
operation of compressed air machines in
cold conditions. When the temperature falls
under –5°C (23°F), make sure that the
pour point of the machine’s lubrication oil
is lower than –25°C / –13°F.
Because moisture remaining in the pipe
saw’s motor, lubrication system, and other
channels may freeze, the pipe saw should
be stored and maintained in a warm
location. To remove any condensate water
that has entered with the compressed air,
a dry cutting should be made with the pipe
saw indoors and in dry conditions. The
stream of warm and dry compressed air fed
through the pipe saw’s motor, lubrication
system, and air vents will remove possible
moisture and reduce the risk of freezing.
Do not use solvent-borne de-icing uids
that could damage the lubrication system.
Storage
Store the pipe saw in a dry location shielded
from direct sunlight. Do not store the pipe
saw on weak structures or a wobbly shelf.
Make sure that the storage location can sup-
port the weight of the pipe saw. Protect the
pipe saw and its parts from possible dents.
Recommendation
Before connecting the Exact 360 AIR to the
compressed air hose, always run the com-
pressor until it reaches its operating tempera-
ture. When the compressor has reached its
operating temperature, blow compressed air
out of the hose to remove any possibly accu-
mulated water or debris. Connect the com-
pressed air hose to the machine only after
the hose has been cleaned.

WARNING
Never change the blade if the machine
is connected to a compressed air
source or you are not sure if the motor
has completely stopped.
Always use undamaged tools when changing
blades. Damaged tools will not necessarily
achieve the required tightness for the blade’s
attachment components, which may cause
loosening while sawing.
Do not use other manufacturers’ blades.
Do not use an unchecked blade.
Check the condition of the blade. Cutting
with a dull blade causes extra strain on
the machine and can lead to a signicantly
poorer sawing result. A dull or damaged blade
must be immediately replaced by a new or
sharpened blade. Sawing with a dull or
damaged blade can cause extra sparking,
detached saw teeth, and thus a hazardous
situation to persons and/or materials.
Never saw with a bent or damaged blade.
The tools used to change blades are
supplied with the machine. A blade can
also be changed with other correctly-sized

(overview and tools)
Changing blades
hex socket keys and open-end wrenches.
The Exact 360 AIR pipe saw’s blades can
be changed in job site conditions.
Open the blade guard (Picture C1) with the
hex socket key (Picture B2). After setting
the blade guard aside, open the blade
screw (Picture C2) with the hex socket key
and open-end wrench (Picture B3). Use
the open-end wrench as a counterforce
to prevent a turning motion by setting the
pulling ange washer securely in the place
designed for it, after which the blade screw
will open by turning the hex socket key.
Use force if the screw is tight. Remove the
pulling ange washer (Picture C3) and the
attachment ange (Picture C4), after which
you can set the blade (Picture C5) in place.
Make sure that the blade ange located
under the blade (Picture C6) is securely
in place and that there are no shavings,
debris, sand or other functionally detri-
mental materials between the blade ange
and the newly installed blade. Also check
that there are no shavings, debris, sand, or
other functionally detrimental materials in
the attachment ange, screws, or pulling
ange washer. If there is unwanted matter
in the blade or other parts, the parts must
be cleaned before their installation. When
the new blade has been securely placed
over the blade ange, set the attachment
ange carefully over the blade, then re-
attach the pulling ange washer and screw.
Tighten the screw with the open-end wrench
by using the pulling ange washer as a
counterforce.
Blade guard
Always clean the blade guard’s inside
surfaces (Picture C1), if you have sawed
plastic and are now sawing metal pipes.
The warming of the metal shavings and
blade from the sawing may cause the plastic
to melt or smolder, possibly releasing toxic
gases. Clean the blade guard regularly and
pay particular attention to the functioning
of the lower blade guard (Picture C7). The
lower blade guard should move freely, and
make sure that there is no debris, shavings,
or sand in its mechanism’s moving parts
that could impair its functioning.
Cleaning of gripper unit
Clean the gripper unit regularly with clean
compressed air. Lubricate the gripper’s
trapeze screw, transfer nuts, wheels, hinges
(Picture A14), and ball bearings with the
applicable oil. Check that there is no
debris, chips, or other materials that
could hinder its functioning in the gripper.
Straightness sawing adjustment
Open the adjustment screws (Picture A8) and
(Picture A9) turn the tool in the adjustment
pointer (Picture A10) as shown in the picture:
if you want that sawing to go more to the
left, turn the entire motor unit to the right.
Filling of oil tank
WARNING:
Use only the correct type of oil
specied for this purpose.
Keep debris, sand, or shavings from
passing into the oil tank. Unwanted
materials in the oil tank can damage
the lubrication system or the device’s
other precision mechanics.
Open the oil tank cap (Picture A13) by using
the hex socket key (Picture B2). Use appro-
priate effort to press the piston inside the
oil tank down by using a clean stick-like tool
such as a screwdriver. You will feel the
downward motion of the piston when it
clicks in place. Pour oil into the oil tank
using a suitable dosing feeder or funnel
to avoid spillage. When the oil tank is full,
screw the oil tank cap rmly in place. The
piston inside the oil tank will snap back to
its initial position when the motor is started.
Wintertime use
When the temperature falls under –5°C (23°F),
make sure that the pour point of the machine’s
lubrication oil is lower than –25°C / –13°F
