Information
Noise/Vibration Information
Measured values determined according to EN60745-1:2009 + A11:210 ja EN60745-2-3:210.
Wear hearing protection!
The test was performed using Ø200 mm PVC pipe that has 5.9mm thick wall.
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 P400 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 P400 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 P400 Operating Instructions
Operation
Exact PipeCut P400 pipecutting system
operating instructions
Before operating the exactCUT P400 please do as follows
• Check that the motor unit is in the upright position so that the
yellow mark on the lock button is visible
• Check that the there is correct blade in the machine. Check that
the blade is correctly in place and tightly xed well and that it is in
good condition.
• Cut Bevel blade might get loose because of vibration during
cutting.
• Check that the guide wheels are rotating.
• Check that the support wheels are rotating.
• Check that the lower blade guard is moving correctly.
• Check that the pipe intended to be cut is empty.
Connecting the Exact P400 to the main power supply
Ensure that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating
plate (Figure A/14) Connect the Exact P400 to the power outlet only
after having checked the list above.
Setting the supports for the pipe to be cut.
Always use Exact pipe supports when sawing.The supports maximise
safety and optimise the cutting result.The cutting should always be
done on a at surface. Place the pipe on the sawing support so that
the cutting point is between the wheel pairs. Place the single supports
underneath both ends of the pipe. Make sure that all of the wheels are
in contact with the pipe. If necessary wedge the holders with a piece
of wood.(Fig.B) Shorter sections (under 25cm/10”) can be cut with
two supports placed so that the cutting point is outside the supports.
(Fig.C) By sawing in the correct order you prevent the saw blade from
jamming in the pipe in the nal stage of the cutting process.
Setting and marking the cutting point
Use a marker to mark the cutting point. There are two setting points
on the moving blade-guard of the saw. One is for the blade that only
cuts the pipe off (Fig.D/1) while the other is for the blade that cuts and
provides a bevel on the end of the pipe. (Fig. D/2)
To start sawing
Open the safety screw (Fig.E1) and adjust the wheel pairs in the Exact
P400 steering device according to the diameter of the pipe by rotating
the adjustment knob on the back of the Exact P400 (Fig.E2}. The scale
on the saw is approximate.User can ne tune the length of the bevel
with the adjustment knob. Please notice that the smaller the diameter
of the pipe the more sensitive the adjustment of the depth of the bevel
will be.

plumBOSS Australia Head Oce - Ph: 1300 331 141 | Fax: [phone] | E: [e-mail]
exactCUT P400 Operating Instructions
Operation
It is most important that the base of the steering device does not
touch the pipe but rather that the wheel pairs support the saw (Fig.
E3). Finally lock the adjustment with the safety screw (Fig.E1) so
that the adjustments do not after during the sawing.
Pull the lever on the moving bladeguard towards you. (Fig.F and
A/5} Place the Exact P400 horizontally on top of the pipe so that
a suitable setting mark for the blade that is in the machine is
positioned at the cutting point (Fig F).Hold the pipe in place and
ensure that the Exact P400 moves freely in the direction the pipe is
fed. To ensure safety the Exact P400 leads should be to the left and
front of the pipe. The Exact P400 is now ready for use.
Piercing the pipe wall
Strive to keep the P400 in a horizontal position on top of the pipe
during the entire sawing process. Take a rm hold of the operating
handle with your right hand, start the motor by releasing the locking
lever on the power switch (Fig.G/1) and push the power switch all
the way down(Fig. G/2). Before starting to saw wait until the blade
reaches full speed. Pierce the pipe wall by pressing the operating
handle down slowly until the blade has cut through the pipe wall (at
this stage the pipe must not rotate) and the motor unit has locked
into sawing position. When the UNLOCK button is locked, i.e.the
yellow mark disappears (Fig.H), the Exact P400 is locked and you
can safely start sawing around the pipe. When using a CutBevel
blade piercing must be performed especially calmly.
Sawing around the pipe
Start sawing by rotating the pipe with your left hand towards yourself
(Fig.I) and keep the Exact P400 stable and in a horizontal position
in relation to the pipe (Fig.J).Continue sawing by rotating the pipe
calmly and at the most even speed possible towards yourself until
the pipe is cut off.
If you use a CutBevel blade continue sawing approximately 5cm
after the pipe has bean cut off. This will ensure an even bevel
around the entire pipe. If you bevel an additional round you
will get even better result. Large bevels have to be done always
with two rounds. First round should be cut so that the bevel is
not complete, and with second round the steering unit should be
adjusted to the desired bevel length. Note that the temperature has
effect to the hardness of plastic
The saw can also be steered manually if the blade does not coincide
with the initial cut When you see the starting point of the cut, turn the
saw at a gentle angle towards the initialcut until the pipe is cut off
(Fig.L)

exactCUT P400 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 (Fig.L). Now raise
the motor unit to starting position. Release the power switch. After
the saw is lifted away from the pipe ensure that the moving blade
guard has tumed into safety position (Fig.M).
Select the feeding speed as per the material and the thickness
of the wall. Too high speed can damage the blade, overload the
Exact P400 and give a poor sawing result. Especially when using a
CutBevel blade the feed rate should be fairly slow to ensure a quality
bevel nish.
The Exact P400 can also be used for making only a bevel to the end
of plastic pipe. First position the saw on top of the pipe so that the
cutting blade of the CutBevel blade is at the end of the pipe. (Fig.N}
Now you can work the pipe as previously described.
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 the teeth of the blade are in contact with the sawn pipe.
Always clean the steering device and the guide wheels after use.
This will ensure that plastic chips caught in the wheels do not skew
the unit and cause a lobsided cut.
Overload protection
The Exact P400 is equipped with overload protection. When the
blade is dull or the cutting speed is too high, the overload protection
cuts power automatically. Restore the power by pushing the overload
protection switch (Fig.A/15).
Stralghtness of the cut and the adjustment
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, blade condition, feed rate, the operator’s experience.The
cutting result may vary and a gap may result on the cutting surface
either to the right or left i.e.the difference between the start and end
point of the cut (Fig.0).
There is a feature in the steering device of the Exact P400 (Fig.A/8)
which, if needed, can improve the sawing result and facilitate to
reach the placement of the initial cut.

exactCUT P400 Operating Instructions
Operation
Loosen the locking screw (Fig.P/1) with the M5 allen key that is
attached to the handle of the pipe saw. There is an adjustment
wheel on the right hand side of the steering device (Fig.P/2).
Turn the wheel with your nger either clockwise or anti clockwise.
The direction depends on the direction of the misalignment. This
adjustment turns the entire motor unit in relation to the steering
device. There is also an arrow and a dial on the steering device
(Fig.P/2). These will help to gauge the extent of the adjustment.
Adjust the motor unit to the desired direction to correct the sawn
alignment error. The arrow indicator must move to the direction of
the error. The extent of the adjustment depends on the extent of the
error, duct diameter as well as the strength and material of the duct
wall. Tighten the locking screw after the adjustment.
Installing and changing the saw blade
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.Q/1) by opening the screw (Fig.
Q/2). Press the spindle-lock button (Fig.A/12) and simultaneously
rotate the blade by hand until the spindle-lock button drops a further
distance of about 4 mm. Now the rotation of the blade is prevented.
Use the blade key to open the blade attachment bolt. Remove the
securing bolt (Fig.Q/3), the washer (Fig.Q/4), the blade ange
(Fig.Q/5), and the blade (Fig.Q/8).
Before installing a new blade,check that both blade ange discs are
clean. Place a new or sharpened blade on the lower blade ange
(Fig. Q/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 lower blade ange.
Put the blade ange, the washer, and the securing bolt back in

exactCUT P400 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.

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
