Pre-Operation
Inspection/Maintenance
WARNING
Before each use, inspect and maintain your soil
pipe cutter and correct any problems to reduce the
risk of serious injury from striking or impact in-
juries and other causes and to prevent soil pipe
cutter damage.
1. Clean the soil pipe cutter and remove all dirt, oil,
grease and debris. If needed, the chain can be
cleaned with a wire brush. This aids in inspection
and helps prevent the tool from slipping from your grip
during use.
2. Inspect the soil pipe cutter for the following items:
• Proper assembly and completeness
• Broken, cracked, missing, bent or binding parts
• Excessive corrosion and wear
• Smooth, free movement of ratchet, screws, chain
and linkages
• Presence and readability of warning labels
3. Inspect the chain for signs of overload or other dam-
age. There should be no significant gaps between
the plates of the chain. If there are large gaps between
the links of the chain or other damage, the chain
should be replaced. Check the cutter wheels for wear
and damage. Worn and damaged cutter wheels in-
crease cut force and can cause poor quality cuts.
4. On the 226 Soil Pipe Cutter, press the release button
in the center of the ratchet head and place into the end
of the feedscrew. The ratchet should lock firmly into
place. This helps to prevent the ratchet from coming
loose from the cutter when in use. If using a different
ratchet or wrench, be aware that it could come loose
during use.
5. If any problems are found, do not use the soil pipe cut-
ter until corrected.
6. If needed, lubricate pivot points and the chain with a
light lubricating oil. Wipe any excess oil off.

Tool Set-Up and Operation

WARNING
Follow set up and operating instructions to re-
duce the risk of serious injury from striking or im-
pact injuries and other causes and prevent ma-
chine damage.
Keep others out of work area while cutting. Stand
clear of the pipe. Cutting can cause pieces of
pipe to be thrown with considerable force. This can
cause striking injuries, eye injuries, or other seri-
ous personal injury.
Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes
against dirt and other foreign objects.
1. Check work area for adequate lighting and a clear,
level, stable place to work.
2. Inspect the pipe to be cut. Determine the size and type
of material. If cutting pipe that is already in service, de-
termine the pipe contents.
3. Determine the correct pipe cutter for the application.
Other pipe cutters can be found in the RIDGID Cat alog
at www. RIDGID.com or www.RIDGID.eu. RIDGID
soil pipe cutters can be used for soil pipe up to a
maximum of 8" diameter. See Specification Section.
4. Make sure that the soil pipe cutter has been properly
inspected.
5. Prepare the pipe to be cut.
• Take any appropriate steps required to drain the
pipe and/or deal with any potential spillage.
• Clean mud or corrosion off of the pipe. Excessive
corrosion or mud can cause poor quality cuts and
damage cutter wheels.
• Make sure there is enough room to get the chain
around the pipe. The 206/226 and 276 need ap-
proximately 1 1 / " around the pipe for the chain to fit,
2
the 246, about 2". If cutting loose pipe, to protect the
cutter wheels from damage against concrete or
other hard surfaces, place the pipe on short stands
or wood block to get the pipe off the floor or work on
a softer surface like a piece of plywood.
• When cutting short sections of pipe, if possible,
restrain the pipe to prevent it from being thrown
when cut. This can be done by placing a smaller
piece of pipe or lumber through the center of the
pipe, or by other methods.
