CAUTION: When cutting steel, ductile iron, or cast iron, the UPC
can produce sparks. When cutting PE, the UPC may cause a build-up
of static electricity. Do not use the UPC saw in-line on potentially
explosive or otherwise dangerous situations. The line must be verified
as completely purged of any flammable vapor or liquid.
PRECAUCIÓN: Al cortar acero, hierro dúctil o hierro colado,
el cortatubos universal (UPC) puede producir chispas. Al cortar PE, el
cortatubos universal (UPC) puede causar acumulación de electricidad
estática. No utilice la sierra en línea del cortatubos universal (UPC)
sipueden producirse explosiones o algún otro tipo de peligros. Sedebe
verificar que la línea esté completamentepurgada de cualquier vapor o
líquido inflamable.
ATTENTION: Lors de la découpe de tuyaux en acier, en fonte
ductile ou en fonte, l’UPC peut générer des étincelles. Quand vous
coupez des tuyaux en PE, l’UPC peut entraîner une accumulation
d'électricité statique. N'utilisez pas l’outil de découpe en cas de
risques d’explosion potentiels ou autres situations dangereuses. Il
est nécessaire de vérifier que le tuyau a été totalement purgé de tout
liquide ou vapeur inflammable.
ACHTUNG: Wenn Sie Rohre aus Stahl, Gusseisen oder
Kugelgraphitgusseisen schneiden, können beim Schneiden mit
dem Universalrohrschneider (Universal Pipe Cutter, UPC) Funken
entstehen. Wenn Sie PE-Rohre schneiden, dann kann sich Ihr
Universalrohrschneider elektrostatisch aufladen. Arbeiten Sie mit der
UPC-Säge auf keinen Fall in einer Umgebung, in der Explosionsgefahr
oder Gefahr einer vergleichbaren Art besteht, an aktiven Leitungen.
Die jeweilige Leitung muss dahingehend überprüft werden, ob sie
vollständig frei von entflammbaren Dämpfen und Flüssigkeiten ist.
ATTENZIONE: Quando vengono tagliati materiali quali acciaio,
ferro dolce o ghisa l'unità tagliatubi può produrre scintille. Quando
viene tagliato il polietilene, l'unità tagliatubi potrebbe inoltre causare
un accumulo di elettricità statica. Non utilizzare la sega dell'unità
tagliatubi in linea in situazioni che possono dare luogo a potenziali
esplosioni o altrimenti pericolose. La linea deve essere controllata e
risultare completamente scarica di vapori o liquidi infiammabili.

Note:Itisimperativethelter,regulator,lubricatorbe
employed when running the UPC Pneumatic. The air
should be clean, dry, and lubricated to maximize motor
life and performance.
1. Beforepressurizing,lltheoilerwiththeoilprovided,by
removing the large black cap on the top. (Do not exceed
themaximumllline)Replacecap.
2. Set air pressure to 90 PSI maximum. Loosen wing-nut
on bottom of regulator, and turn large knob clockwise
until pressure is attained.
3. Turn the small set screw to set the oil drip. The oiler
shouldbesetof5-8dropsperminute.
I. Fill and Attach Water Tank (not required for
cutting plastic pipe) to Blade Guard
Water is used to help cool the diamond blades when cut-
ting cast iron, ductile iron and clay pipe. In cold tempera-
tures, low-level heat may be applied to the water tank,
or a non-toxic, environmentally safe, anti-freeze may be
added to the water.
IV. OPERATION
A. Position the Cutting Blade
1. Loosen blade guard locking knob until swing guard
rests on pipe.
2. Turn cutter feed knob clockwise. (Fig.4) Lower motor and
cuttercloseto,butnottouchingthepipe.Motorbracket
locking knob should be tight, yet allow
the bracket to slide.
B. Pressurize Water Tank by Following Instructions
Provided with Tank
Open valve on tank. Continue to repressurize tank dur-
ing use.
Special instructions
for cutting Steel Pipe and PE Pipe on next page.
C. Turn Motor On
After ensuring air line is clear of dirt and debris, connect
air hose to motor. Open ball valve on motor.
WARNING: Blade is now rotating, keep hands clear.
D. Slowly Feed the Blade into the Pipe.
Note: Fast feeding can result in tracking off.
1. Note position of depth gauge pointer (divided in tenths
 ofincheswithMMreferences).(Photo#3)
2.* Knowing the thickness of pipe to be cut, turn the feed
knob clockwise, (Fig. 4) until the pointer indicates
the desired depth of cutter. Allow at least 1/4" of blade
beyond depth of cut.
*Exception to this would be if the bevel cutter was being
used for plastic, then the cutter would be engaged until
the bevel cutter began cutting. At this point the depth
gage pointer could be used to determine amount of
bevel. Full engagement produces a 15/16" bevel. (Fig. 4)
FIG. 5
F. Align Cutter (Test Tracking)
Rotate unit around pipe (one
revolution). To check tracking ac-
curacy, mark the pipe at one of the
motor unit rollers and rotate the
unitagainandnoteoff/ontrackcondition.Bytappingor
resetting the chain and/or connecting frames, the unit
can be aligned.

7. The unit will cut under water, however, if it is stalled,
rotate it back up through its cut and exhaust the water
before cutting again.
8. Whenbevelingplasticpipe,overlapthestart/nishpoint
of cut to ensure a complete bevel.
9. If the blade is pinched in the cut:
a. Disconnect air supply line from unit.
b. Open ball valve to ensure complete bleed off through
motor.
c. Remove blade guard.
 d.Removelocknut,angefromarbor.
e. Disconnect chain.
f. Pull motor unit out of blade.
g. Remove blade from pipe by lifting the pipe. Inspect
the blade for damage.
10. If the motor will not be used again in the same day,
open the ball valve, pour about a teaspoon of air line
oil into the air inlet port and close the ball valve.
For Use on Steel Pipe:
There are going to be sparks whether or not water is used
with the UPC to cut steel. It is easier to make the cut with-
out water because the chips tend to fall away from the work
area. However, using water reduces the amount of sparks.
Water keeps the blade cooler, but it causes the chips to
gather into the blade cutting space. This makes more work
for the blade as it may “recut” those same chips that fall into
the workspace.
For Use On PE:
It is a 100% dry cut for PE. Turn the exhaust collar on the
back of the UPC straight up so the exhaust is blowing
straight up and not onto the pipe. Use a new hose from
the compressor to the FRL and a new hose from the FRL
totheUPCitself.Byusinganewhose,oilcomingthrough
canbesignicantlyreduced.Usersshouldalsowipeoffthe
exhaust collar on a regular basis so there is not a build-up
of oil or dripping oil.
V. MAINTENANCE
A. Motor
1. Lubrication: Grease the planetary gears after each day's
use with the gear grease and grease gun provided. (APEX
ToolGroupGreaseNo.45-0983isrecommended).A1/4"
hole at the front on the motor exhaust collar reveals a
greasetting.Thettingshouldbefacingupwhenturning
themotorunitupsidedown.RefertoUPCServiceBulletin
#50498.Themotorshouldalsobeoiledbeforeandafter
each days use (Sec. IV, D. Item 10).
2. Service: Refer to the service notice on underside of
carrying case lid.
Note: In the event of experiencing motor problems,
(i.e. - leakage, loss of power, etc.) do not
disassemble the motor. This will void the
motor warranty. Send motor back to Reed
Manufacturing for service.
B. Cover Air Port with Cover Coupling When Unit is
not in Use
C. Dress (Sharpen) Diamond Blades
1. SeeUPCServiceBulletin#50498.
D. Clean Carbide Grit Blade if it Becomes Loaded
1. Use wire brush or appropriate solvent.
2. Direction of blade may be reversed for longer life.
E. Sharpen Steel/PE Blades/Bevel cutter
Should be performed by a professional tool grinding
service.
F. Occasionally lubricate the release pins,
chain links, main frame screw, roller pins and
turnbuckle assembly with a water displacing
lubricant (WD-40 or equivalent).
®WD-40 is a registered trademark of the WD-40 Company.
When cutting steel, ductile iron, or cast iron, the
UPC can produce sparks. When cutting PE, the
UPC may cause a build-up of static electricity.
Do not use the UPC saw in-line on potentially
explosive or otherwise dangerous situations.
The line must be veried as completely purged
of any ammable vapor or liquid.

A. Modelo del cortatubos: UPC 616A, 616AP, 636A,
648A, 836APE & 848APE
NOTA: Los modelos UPC836APE y UPC848APE son
especícos para ser usados en tubos de PE (polietileno
de alta densidad). Con una hoja de mayor diámetro (8"
de diámetro), pueden cortar tubo de PE de hasta 2.65"
(69 mm) de espesor de pared. También pueden usarse en
tubo plástico de PVC cuando están equipados con una
hoja para PVC. El UPC836APE y UPC848APE no incluyen
un sistema de agua presurizada y no pueden usarse en
tubos que requiera una hoja enfriada con agua, como los
de Hierro colado, Colados en foso, Hierro dúctil, Arcilla
o Concreto.
