Operation
Exact P400
pipecutting system
operating instructions
Before operating the Exact P400 please do as
follows
Check that the motor unit is in the upright position
so that the yellow mark on the
UNLOCK button is visible.
Check that the there is correct blade in the machine.
Check that the blade is correctly in place and that it
is in good condition.
Check that the guide wheels are rotating.
Check that the support wheels are rotating.
Check that the lower blade guard is moving correctly.
Check that the pipe intended to be cut is empty.
Connecting the Exact P400 to the main power
supply
Ensure that the mains voltage is the same as
indicated on the rating plate (Figure A/14)
Connect the Exact P400 to the power outlet only
after having checked the list above.
Setting the supports for the pipe to be cut.
Always use Exact pipe supports when sawing. The
supports maximise safety and optimise the cutting
result. The cutting should always be done on a flat
surface. Place the pipe on the sawing support so
that the cutting point is between the wheel pairs.
Place the single supports underneath both ends of
the pipe. Make sure that all of the wheels are in
contact with the pipe. If necessary wedge the holders
with a piece of wood. (Fig. B) Shorter sections (under
25cm/10") can be cut with two supports placed so
that the cutting point is outside the supports. (Fig.
C) By sawing in the correct order you prevent the
saw blade from jamming in the pipe in the final stage
of the cutting process.
Setting and marking the cutting point
Use a marker to mark the cutting point. There are
two setting points on the moving blade-guard of the
saw. One is for the blade that only cuts the pipe off
(Fig. D/1) while the other is for the blade that cuts
and provides a bevel on the end of the pipe. (Fig.
D/2)
To start sawing
Open the safety screw (Fig. E1) and adjust the wheel
pairs in the Exact P400 steering device according
to the diameter of the pipe by rotating the adjustment
knob on the back of the Exact P400 (Fig. E2). The
scale on the saw is approximate. User can fine tune
the length of the bevel with the adjustment knob.
Please notice that the smaller the diameter of the
pipe the more sensitive the adjustment of the depth
of the bevel will be.
