INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Vibration level: 1.1 m/s2. The weighted acceleration
value according to EN 50144 does not exceed 2.5 m/s2.
Electrical safety
The electric motor is designed to be used at the specified
voltage only. It can be loaded intermittently for 2.5 min
during a 10 min time span (S3 25 %). Always check
that the power supply corresponds to the voltage stated
on the rating plate. The Exact 220u pipe saw is double
insulated as required by standard EN 50144-1
In order to prevent, electrical shocks, injuries, and the risk
of fire the following basic safety instructions should be
followed.
Use ear protectors
When working with various materials, the sound level
may vary and at times exceed the 85 dB (A) limit. Always
use ear protectors to protect yourself.
Use safety goggles
Always use safety goggles to prevent injury to your eyes
from particles thrown up when using the pipe saw.
Use safety gloves
Always use safety gloves as the edges of cut pipes are
sharp and can cause cuts.
Keep the work area tidy
An untidy work area can be hazardous and may cause an
accident.
Pay attention to where you are working
Do not take the pipe saw out in the rain. Never use it in
wet or damp areas. Ensure that the working area is well
lit. Never use the pipe saw near flammable liquids or
gases. If the pipe saw does get left out in the rain or gets
wet in some other way, have it serviced by an approved
service agency.
Protect yourself from electrical shocks
Avoid coming into contact with objects that conduct
electricity, such as pipe systems, heating radiators,
cookers, washing machines, and refrigerators.
Keep the pipe saw away from children
Keep children away from the pipe saw and its extension
cable. Children under 16 years old must be supervised.
Store the pipe saw correctly
Always store the pipe saw with the motor unit in the
upright position. When you are not using the pipe saw,
keep it in a dry place. Ensure that the storage place
is locked and high enough to be out of the reach of
children.
Safety instructions 4.
Do not overload the pipe saw
Using too great a cutting force or too high a pipe-cutting
speed can overload the machine. Always arrange sawing
so that when you cut through the pipe it cannot close in
on the sawn gap and clamp onto the blade. The machine
works at its best and safest when it is used the way for
which it was designed.
Dress suitably
Do not use clothing that is too loose or jewellery when
using the pipe saw as they could get caught on moving
parts of the machine. When working outdoors use rubber
gloves and non-slip shoes. If you have long hair, use a
hairnet.
Ensure that your work environment is safe
Ensure that no one else is working close to you and that
there are no objects that could be damaged by your
work.
Do not damage the power cable
Never carry the pipe saw by its power cable. Do not pull
the plug from the socket by pulling on the cable. Protect
the power cable from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Attach the pipe saw correctly
Always ensure that the gripper unit on the pipe saw is
firmly attached on the pipe that is going to be sawn.
Do not stoop over your work
Always stand maintaining a firm steady stance when
using the pipe saw.
Take proper care of the pipe saw
Keep the pipe saw clean and only use sharp blades.
Always follow the servicing instructions and the
instructions for changing the blade. Check the condition
of the power cable regularly and have it changed by a
qualified electrician if necessary. Also regularly check the
condition of the extension cable you use and replace it if
necessary. Keep the pipe saw’s handle dry and clean from
oil and grease.
Take the plug out of the socket
Always disconnect the power to the pipe saw by
removing the plug from the socket when the pipe saw
is not in use, when you change the blade, or when you
service it. Always remove the plug from the socket before
removing the blade guard.
Avoid unintentional starting
Never carry the pipe saw with your finger on the power
switch while the saw is connected to its power supply.
Check that the power switch is in the off position and the
motor is in the upright position before putting the plug
into a socket.
