Information
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured values determined according to EN60745-1:2009 + A11:210 ja EN60745-2-3:210.
Wear hearing protection!
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 signi cantly 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 signicantly 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.

exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
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, re 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 batteryoperated
(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 ammable
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.
Unmodied 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
inuence 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 nger 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 dustrelated hazards.
h. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
i. 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.
j. 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 dustrelated hazards.

General power tool safety warnings
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 a 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 can not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source from
the the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of 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 missalingment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools
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 thoes intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5). Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied 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.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
c. Never hold the workpiece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. It is important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
g. 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. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
h. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, 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 from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
i. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction and blade binding.
j. 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.
k. Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp
or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw
is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent.
Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and
make sure it moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of
cut.

exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
Safety
l. Check the operation of the lower guard. If the guard
and the spring are not operating properly, they must
be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits,
or a build-up of debris.
m. Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your
hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
n. Do not work overhead with the saw. In this manner
you do not have suf cient control over the power
tool.
o. Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not
designed for operation with a saw table.
p. Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such
saw blades can easily break.
q. When working with the machine, always hold it rmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
r. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece supported by
pipe holders is held more secure than by hand.
s. 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.
t. Never use the machine with a damaged cable. 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.
Additional specic 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.
• 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. Functional Description Read
all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
Operation
exactCUT 170/170E/220E pipecutting
system 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 tted, in good
condition and suitable for the materialto 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.
Precise setting of the cutting point
When you mark the cutting point on the pipe to be
cut,deduct 20 mm inch from the required dimension
(Easy-to-remember rule:The cutting mark location
requires a measurement of- 20 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 at
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 em 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.

exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
Operation
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 rmly 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 rmly with your right hand and place your left foot on
top of the pipe approximately 40cm from the pipe saw. Tum the saw
until it leans slightly forward (Figure H).When starting the motor, rst
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
the 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 x the pipe with
your left foot (Fig H/3). After that release the pipe (remove your left
foot from the pipe) and tum the pipe saw backwards, whereby the
pipe will also be rotated backwards (Fig J). Start a new feeding
movement, and feed continuously forward cut 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.

exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
Operation
When the pipe is cut off, push the UNLOCK button forward until the
yellow mark is visible and the locking is released (FigU1). Now raise
the motor unit to starting position (Fig U2).Release the power switch
(Fig U3).When lhe blade is stationary, remove the pipe saw from
the pipe by loosening the gripped handle (Fig U4). 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 untilthe 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
Model 170 is equipped with overload protection. When the blade
is dull or the cutting speed is too high, the overload protection cuts
power automatically. In case of overload: Release the power switch
(Fig U3). Push the UNLOCK button forward until the yellow mark is
visible and the locking is released (Fig U1). Now raise the motor unit
to the starting position (Fig U2). Restore the power by pushing the
overload protection switch (Fig A/15).
There is a spin-speed regulator in models 170E and 220E.A suitable
spin speed is selected, determined by the material to be sawed.
There is also an automatic overload protection in the regulator.
In the case of overload: Release the power switch (Fig U3). Push
the UNLOCK button forward untilthe yelrow mark is visible and the
locking is released (Fig U1). 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 internaltemperature. 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.

plumBOSS Australia Head Oce - Ph: 1300 331 141 | Fax: [phone] | E: [e-mail]
exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
Operation
For this reason the result may vary, and the cut may turn to the
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 is 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 wom. To adjust the wheel, loosen the locking screw (Fig
N/1) and tum 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 saw blade
WARNING:To reduce the risk of injury, tum 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.0/1) by opening the two
screws (Fig.0/2). 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.0/3), the washer (Fig.0/4), the blade
ange disc (Fig.0/5),and the blade (Fig.0/6).

exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
Maintence, Environment, Guarantee
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
Check the condition of the blade. Replace a bent, blunt,
or otherwise damaged blade with a new one. Using a
blunt blade can overload the pipe saw’s electric motor.
When you notice that the blade is blunt, do not continue
sawing with it, as the blade may become so badly
damaged that it will not be worth sharpening. A blade in
sufciently good condition can be sharpened a few times
by a professional sharpening company.
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.
Environment
Separate collection. This product must not
be disposed of with normal household
waste. When your Exact
PipeCut machine is worn out, do not
dispose of it with normal household waste. This product

Tips
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 oor. 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;
rst 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 minutes in use
and 7.5 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’’ (170mm), and a wall
thickness of 1/5’’ (5mm), is 15-20 seconds, and for
a cast-iron pipe diameter of 4’’ (110mm), with a wall
thickness of 1/6’’ (4mm) 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
• 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
