Chapter 2, Safety: Safe Operation of the Goliath Guillotine Pipe Saw
Wachs Subsea 06-150-520-MAN 9
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 autoc-
lamp mechanism, and cut through the pipe using an oscillat-
ing saw motion.
Make sure to follow all safety guidelines and procedures
required for machining operations at the work site,
including personal protective equipment (PPE). Do not
use the Guillotine pipe saw in a manner that violates
these guidelines.
Proper Use of the Guillotine
• The Guillotine should only be used by trained, qualified
operators.
• The workpiece must be within the operating capacity of
the Guillotine model you are using. See operating enve-
lope information and drawings in Chapter 3.
• Make sure the operating environment allows you to
mount the machine securely and squarely on the work-
piece.
• Make sure there is adequate clearance around the Guil-
lotine and workpiece to operate the machine controls as
described in the operating instructions (Chapter 5).
• Mount the Guillotine in an orientation that allows con-
venient connection of the drive power supply (air or
hydraulic).
• Mount the Guillotine so that the feed drive can be oper-
ated conveniently, without reaching across moving
parts.
• Use the Guillotine only on empty, depressurized pipe.
Misuse
• Do not attempt to mount or operate the Guillotine on
any workpiece to which it cannot be securely clamped.
• Do not attempt to mount or operate the Guillotine on
any workpiece that is not stable enough to hold the
machine.
