Chapter 2, Safety Chapter 2 Safety E.H. Wachs takes great pride in designing and manufacturing safe, high-quality products. We make user safety a top priority in the design of all our products. Read this chapter carefully before operating your E.H. Wachs equipment. It contains important safety instructions and recommendations. In This Chapter SAFE OPERATING GUIDELINES SAFE OPERATION OF THE GOLIATH GUILLOTINE PIPE SAW SAFE OPERATING GUIDELINES Follow these guidelines for safe operation of all E.H.
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw • KEEP CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS. Keep hands, arms, and • fingers clear of all rotating or moving parts. Always turn the machine off and disconnect the power source before doing any adjustments or service. SECURE LOOSE CLOTHING AND JEWELRY. Secure or remove loose-fitting clothing and jewelry, and securely bind long hair, to prevent them from getting caught in moving parts of the machine. • FOLLOW SAFE PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING LUBRICANTS.
Chapter 2, Safety: Safe Operating Guidelines Hydraulic Powered Equipment • • Hydraulic components such as hoses, motors, and manifolds will get hot during operation and may cause burns. Do not touch hydraulic components, except for operator controls, during or after operating the machine. Hydraulic injection injury—A pinhole in a hydraulic hose or fitting can eject fluid with enough force to pierce skin. Check hoses and fittings regularly for leaks.
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw CAUTION This safety alert, with the personal injury hazard symbol, indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. Protective Equipment Requirements Protective Clothing Wear safety shoes when operating or servicing the equipment. Serious injury could result from dropping the machine or its components. NOTE Gloves should be worn when cleaning up chips and other cutting debris.
Chapter 2, Safety: Safe Operation of the Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw SAFE OPERATION OF THE GOLIATH GUILLOTINE PIPE SAW Intended Uses The Goliath Guillotine pipe saw is designed to be clamped onto an in-line or open-ended pipe, using a hydraulic autoclamp mechanism, and cut through the pipe using an oscillating saw motion. Make sure to follow all safety guidelines and procedures required for machining operations at the work site, including personal protective equipment (PPE).
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw • • Do not mount the Guillotine on the “fall-off” side of the cut line, unless you adequately rig and support the Guillotine and workpiece. Do not disable any safety feature of the Guillotine or remove any safety labeling. Replace worn or damaged safety labels immediately. (See “Safety and Operation Labels” later in this chapter.) Potential Hazards Figure 2-1 illustrates potential hazards of operating the Guillotine pipe saw.
Chapter 2, Safety: Safe Operation of the Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw • • • • • Check that all safety components are operating properly. Inspect it for damage or wear that could affect operation and safe use of the machine. Repair any defective component before using the machine. Make sure the machine is clean and properly lubricated. Make sure that the blade is sharp and in good condition. A poor quality blade can cause difficult cutting and the possibility of machine malfunction and/or injury.

Chapter 5, Operating Instructions Chapter 5 Operating Instructions This chapter includes instructions for operating the Goliath Guillotine saw using the remote universal control panel (UCP. In This Chapter LIFTING THE SAW INSTALLING THE BLADE You should lubricate the Goliath saw before every cut. See lubrication instructions in Chapter 6. USING THE AUTOFEED OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH THE UCP LIFTING THE SAW The Goliath is provided with four eye hooks for lifting it with a crane.
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw Figure 5-1. The photo shows the lift eyes provided with the Goliath Guillotine. IMPORTANT Always leave the chains and lift attached to the saw while cutting. A E C G I J H B F D Figure 5-2. Eyebolt locations on the Goliath Guillotine. (Hooks are shown installed in locations A, B, C, and D.) Location F is also used for the optional coolant nozzle, as shown. Locations G, H, I, and J are on the ends of the frame, as shown in Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4.
Chapter 5, Operating Instructions: Lifting the Saw H G Figure 5-3. The eyebolts can be screwed into the threaded holes G and H on the end of the frame. J I Figure 5-4. Eyebolts can be screwed into the threaded holes I and J in the end of the frame. To mount the saw on top of a horizontal pipe— • Connect chains to eyebolts installed in frame locations I and J and lift the saw in a vertical orientation.
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw Figure 5-5. Use eyebolt locations I and J to lift the saw vertically onto a horizontal pipe. To mount the saw on the side of a horizontal pipe— • Connect chains to eyebolts installed in frame locations G and I and lift the saw on its side. Figure 5-6. Use eyebolt locations G and I to mount the saw on the side of a horizontal pipe.
Chapter 5, Operating Instructions: Installing the Blade Figure 5-7. Use eyebolt locations A, C, and D to mount the saw on a vertical pipe. INSTALLING THE BLADE Installing the blade on the saw is the same for all configurations of the Goliath. There are two different blades available: • • CAUTION Use gloves when handling blades to prevent cuts. a coarse blade used for heavy wall or multi-strand pipe a fine blade used for thin-wall, single-strand pipe. Figure 5-8. Goliath Guillotine blade.
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw Clamping knobs Blade tensioning knob Figure 5-9. The photos show the clamp blocks on the Goliath saw bow. The right block (bottom photo) has a blade tensioning knob. 1. 28 Unscrew the clamp knob on the left clamp block almost to the top of the screw. You will need to lift the block high enough to raise the dowel pins out of the bow.
Chapter 5, Operating Instructions: Installing the Blade Figure 5-10. Loosen the clamp knob on the left clamp block so that you can raise the dowel pins out of the saw bow. 2. Holding the block up, slide the end of the blade under the block so that the hole in the blade is lined up beneath the dowel pin. 3. Set the clamp block down with the dowel pin through the hole in the blade. Tighten the clamp knob with your fingers until it is just snug. 4.
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw Figure 5-11. Install the right clamp block on the blade and snug the clamp knob. 6. Using the 1-3/8” end wrench, turn the blade tensioning knob on the right clamp block to tighten the blade. Figure 5-12. Tighten the tensioning knob to pull the saw blade tight. 7. 30 Use the 1-3/8” wrench to tighten the clamp knobs on both clamp blocks.
Chapter 5, Operating Instructions: Using the Autofeed Figure 5-13. Tighten the clamp knob on both clamp blocks to secure the blade for cutting. USING THE AUTOFEED The hydraulic autofeed is operated using the feed controls on the universal control panel (UCP). A separate hydraulic motor turns the autofeed drive, with the speed set independently of the cutting speed. The hydraulic autofeed mechanism is shown below.
Autoclamp Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw Figure 5-14. The hydraulic autofeed mechanism is shown. The feed can be driven using a wrench on the hex end of the clevis. OPERATING THE MACHINE WITH THE UCP This section describes how to install and operate the saw using the topside control unit (TCU). Connecting the Hoses 1. 32 Connect the clamping drive hoses from the UCP to the fittings on the saw bulkhead as shown below.
