Operating Instructions
1. Choose the cutter wheel for the right pipe application: steel, cast iron, etc. (Table 2)
2. Turn handle to open cutter enough to accommodate the size of pipe to
be cut.
3. Place cutter around pipe with spring-loaded guides on top. Connect
lower yoke by pushing upward to locked position. Turn the cutter
handle until the wheels are uniformly touching the pipe.
4. Begin to cut the pipe by moving the entire cutter in a back and forth
motion that constitutes a 90 - 110 degree swing.
5. Check to make sure that the wheels are tracking uniformly. If so, tighten
the handle one-half turn each time that you bring the cutter handle back
toward yourself.
WARNING: DO NOT STOP FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE
MIDDLE OF A CUT! THE CUTTING ACTION GENERATES HEAT ON THE PIPE.
UPON COOLING, THE WHEELS MAY BECOME WEDGED IN THE TRACK. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR DUCTILE IRON PIPE.
6. Complete the cut by maintaining pressure on the cutter wheels as you continue to
swing the cutter in a back and forth motion.
USE LUBRICATING OIL: It will take less effort and prolong the life of the cutter wheels
and pins. DO NOT use cutting oil.
BADLY CRUSTED AND RUST SCALED PIPE: Use a Reed Descaler (Table 3) to
remove the rust and scale from the area to be cut. A hammer and chisel or coarse file
may also be used. Descaling will help save cutter wheels and cutting time; and will
help square the cutter on the pipe to insure tracking.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR DUCTILE IRON PIPE: Maintain maximum pressure on the
cutter wheels. Continue feeding in with each revolution or cycle as ductile iron pipe
tends to work harden and will become extremely difficult to penetrate.
Once pipe is fractured, continue feeding to insure cut has in fact been
completed all the way around the pipe.
NOTE:
• No cutter wheels available for cutting soil pipe.
• For cutting larger diameter pipe (up to 36") try Reed Rotary™
Cutters.
• For cutting cast iron and ductile iron up to 48" with air or hydraulic
power, try Reed Universal Pipe Cutters.
