safety guards. Unplug machine prior to servicing.
GLOVES
Proper hand protection should be worn at all times when
working with sharp cutting tools.
SAFETY EYE WEAR
Proper eye protection should be worn at all times when work-

New Improved Clean-Cuts Method
With the Clean-Cuts hydraulic hose
saws the hose is positioned across
two pins (A) and moved into the
blade (C) by a feed foot (B) using
extendable handle (D) and adjust-
able pivot point (E) for cutting larger
industrial hose. The feed motion
causes the hose to stretch at the
point of contact with the blade,
allowing it to separate as it is cut
(see image at below). This separa-
tion allows the hose to pass clear of
the saw blade with NO friction, NO
heating and NO DEBRIS! A vacuum
hose (not shown) is attached to a
vacuum port to remove any tiny amount of debris or smoke during cutting.

Introduction
Clean-Cuts hydraulic hose cutting system is break-through technology using a
toothed blade, cutting with the backs of each tooth, so the blade does not take a kerf.
The saw bends the hose into the blade spreading the cut edges to avoid burning and
smoking.
Old Method
The normal sawing method of lowering an abrasive
saw blade onto the hose causes the hose to com-
press and deform. As the blade cuts the compressed
hose expands against the blade causing friction,
heating and burning and much of the debris from the
kerf of the blade is deposited into your hose.

OPERATION
This saw is a rugged and dependable tool when used and maintained properly. Many
of these saws have been in daily service for years and are still in good working order.
As with any tool, good operating procedure is important for tool life and operator
safety.
Operating Procedure
1. Set pin placement for the size hose you are cutting using the following guide:
*This guide only “suggests” the best possible pin placement, as there are vari-
ables such as new or used hose, brands of hose, braided or spiral wire rein-
forcement (4 or 6 wire multi-spiral). As an operator you will learn the best pin
placement for the hose you are cutting. Remember that the cut hose should be
square and clean.
2. Start the saw and let the motor come up to full speed. This is most important with
theDCsawsastheytakeamomentto“rampup”.Cuttingbeforethey’reatfull
speed can cause very high amperage draw and shorten the life of the motor.
3. Pushthehoseintothesawwithsteady,evenpressure.Letthebladedoits’jobby
cutting the hose not ripping it. This becomes more important as the hose size be-
comes larger, especially with the 6 wire multi-spiral hose. If there is a lot of smoke
and sparks you may be forcing the hose too fast or the blade may be excessively
dull.
After the hose is cut, be careful as the blade spins down to a stop.
A coasting blade is still dangerous!
4. Examine the hose. Look at the squareness and how clean the cut is. A good cut
goes a long way toward making a strong hose assembly.

Changing the Blade
1. Disconnect Power Plug & logout tagout.
2. Remove hex nuts (right) holding blade
cover and remove cover.
3. Place1⁄4rod/pinthrougharborshaftto
lock saw blade arbor shaft and drive pin
at12o’clock(belowleft).Thiswilllockthe
arbor while the bolt is removed. Please
note that the bolt (below right) to remove
the blade is left hand threaded. To remove
it, turn counter-clockwise.
4. Remove old blade and put new one on over the drive pin (below left) and arbor
shaft. Be sure to follow the blade rotation arrow (below right).

5. Placedclampingangethroughdrive

Tighten bolt to 20-25 foot/lbs. Do not
over-tighten.Thenremove1⁄4rod/pin
which locks shaft.
6. Replace blade cover and tighten hex
bolts.

Vacuum Port
Some saw models have a
vacuum port in the cover.
You can attach a 2” shop
vac hose to this port. If the
saw and vacuum “on-off”
switches are wired through
one contactor, the opera-
tor will be able to run both
units simultaneously. A
shop vac attached to the
vacuum port will remove
most of the dust, smoke
and smell while cutting
hose. It is important to
checkthevacuumlterregularlyasitwillplugupwiththenerubberdustthatisas-
sociated with hose cutting.
Maintenance
Examine the blade periodically (blade cover in place) for tooth condition and sharp-
ness. A sharp blade cuts the best but as the teeth wear they will still cut well.
Occasionally pull the blade cover off and perform a closer inspection of the blade
paying attention to any cracks that may have occurred. If cracks are observed, the
blade should be thrown away as it could break while spinning. Cracks are very rare
as these blades are high quality steel and are tempered to the correct hardness for
this application. With the cover off, clean the hose dust that has accumulated inside.
Lubricate the pivot points of the blade guard and pusher with oil on a regular ba-
sis (once a month). Whenever the blade cover is removed, use that opportunity to
grease the pivot points.
Check the condition of the wiring as it may wear over time, especially the DC saws
thatexthewiringfromthehandlemountedswitch.Themotorsrequirelittlemainte-
nance (wipe or blow the accumulated dirt off) as the bearings are sealed.
Keep the area around the saw uncluttered. The DC van saws have high amp con-
nectors with rubber boot protectors. If those protectors wear over time and grounded
metalcomesincontact,itwillsparkandbearehazard!
Speaking of grounding. For proper performance from the DC saws, always have a
good, clean ground connection.
