Operating the Saw
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Always support
the workpiece
securely on both sides of the
cutting location. Any unse-
cured section of the work-
piece could shift or fall during
cutting, damaging the equip-
ment or causing injury to an
operator.
1.
On the UCP, use the Cutter Tool lever to turn on the
saw motion.
2.
Set the Feed Control lever to the Feed In position.
3.
Adjust the feed speed lever until the feed motion
starts. Set the lever to the desired speed.
4.
Set the cutting drive lever for the speed you want.
Typically, you can set it to the maximum.
5.
Allow the saw to operate at a slow feed rate until the
blade has parted through the near wall of the pipe.
Figure 5-17. Cut at a slow feed rate until the blade
parts through the wall of the pipe.
6.
After the blade has parted the near wall, you can speed
up the feed rate by adjusting the feed speed lever. You
may need to slow the rate down if you are cutting an
internal casing. Reduce the feed speed if the machine
starts to bind or chatter, or if you see the blade deflect-
ing as it cuts.
7.
As the blade approaches the far wall of the pipe, slow
the feed rate to the setting used at the start. Finish the
cut at this feed rate.
