TC-2 TUBE CUTTING AND BLADE CHANGING PROCEDURE
Note: This procedure is intended to help you to properly utilize tool before formal manual is completed. All
instruction for battery charging and general maintenance for the tool are same as for the TC-1 product. Please read
TC-1 manual first.
1. Place tool in “cutting ready” mode by reversing Forward/Reverse switch to make tool to stop in cutting
head (CH) open position. Flip switch to forward (cutting) direction.
2. Place CH over tube by snapping tool on the tube till
tube touches rollers. Be careful not to wiggly tool that
can damage blade.
3. Start cutting by slowly pressing on Power Switch to
make CH to rotate around tube. Rotate CH slowly for
first turn to allow blade to make first complete cut
grove. Do not force tool. Let tool align itself on the tube
to get square cut. Forcing tool out of square plane can
damage blade and result in out of square cut.
4. Continue pressing Power Switch to increase speed of the CH. Do not stop cutting before tube is completely
severed. Remove tool from tube and reverse CH to make it ready for next cut. Periodically clean CH rollers
and blade from shavings or paint particles by blowing it with compressed air in “ready to cut” position.
5. Blade change should be done in position where blade
pin is positioned in the CH housing opening.
Unscrew setscrew and push pin out by entering hex
screwdriver (included) in the smaller hole that aligns
with blade center. Move blade by fingers to make pin
to align with larger hole so it can be extracted. Insert

new blade and push pin back trough larger hole. Check that blade moves free under spring return when
pressed by finger. Screw back setscrew to cover pin pass hole.
6. Changing CH will be possible when CH opening is aligned with one of the idler gears (CH teethes are not
in mesh with one of the idle gears). Slightly push in lock pins and rotate for 90 degree and pull out pins
holding CH with other hand. Remove CH by pulling it from the tool hinges.
