When cutting the pipe move the pipe cutter forward through the pipe from yourself, while clutching the pipe with your left foot on supporting piers. Then pull the pipe cutter on together with the pipe itself, turning the pipe on supporting piers. Further, push the pipe with your left foot and again move the pipe cutter on the pipe forward. Repeat these operations until the pipe is not cut off. Small diameters of pipes can be cut off quickly and easily if they are rotated by the hand on the floor or table. Note: The pipe should be rotated on yourself and be careful not to rotate the pipe too quickly.
The cutting process involves two steps: incutting of the disc in the pipe wall and directly cutting the pipe.Pay close attention to the correct pipe cutting speed. If the speed is too low, then the crumb and chips, formed after the cutting will be very small and the disk will become blunt too quickly. Also, too fast cutting speed can cause damage to the teeth of the disk (the teeth may be cracked or fly off the body) and may overload the motor of the pipe cutter.
When working one should observe the following rule: 2,5 minutes of working and 7,5 minutes of break. Correct cutting speed is the key to long service life of pipe cutter and disks. For example, when cutting steel pipes with a diameter 170 mm with wall thickness 5mm the work is done by the worker for 15-20 seconds, when cutting cast-iron pipe with a diameter 110mmi with the thickness 4mm - for 20-25 seconds. Always clean the disk casing of the pipe cutter after each cutting of plastic pipe. Regularly check the condition of cut-off disk. Always keep the storage engine of the pipe cutter in top position. Yellow mark on the top button if stored properly will be visible.
