Operation
When the pipe is cut off, push the UNLOCK button
forward until the yellow mark is visible and the locking
is released (Fig. L). Now raise the motor unit to starting
position. Release the power switch. After the saw is
lifted away from the pipe ensure that the moving blade
guard has turned into safety position (Fig. M).
Select the feeding speed as per the material and the
thickness of the wall. Too high speed can damage
the blade, overload the Exact P400 and give a poor
sawing result. Especially when using a
the feed rate should be fairly slow to ensure a quality
bevel finish.
The Exact P400 can also be used for making only a
bevel to the end of plastic pipe. First position the saw
on top of the pipe so that the cutting blade of the
CutBevel blade is at the end of the pipe. (Fig. N) Now
you can work the pipe as previously described.
Should there be problems during piercing or sawing,
abnormal sounds or vibrations due to which you have
to interrupt sawing before the pipe is cut through,
release the blade by pushing the UNLOCK button
forward until the UNLOCK button is released and lift
the motor unit up. Once the problem is cleared, start
sawing again.
Never start the motor when the motor unit is locked
in sawing position or the teeth of the blade are in
contact with the sawn pipe.
Always clean the steering device and the guide wheels
after use. This will ensure that plastic chips caught in
the wheels do not skew the unit and cause a lobsided
cut.
The Exact P400 is equipped with overload protection.
When the blade is dull or the cutting speed is too
high, the overload protection cuts power automatically.
Restore the power by pushing the overload protection
switch (Fig. A/15).
Straightness of the cut and the adjustment
The cut is affected by many factors, e.g. the size of
the pipe, the material, the wall thickness, the quality
of the pipe's surface, the roundness, blade condition,
feed rate, the operator's experience. The cutting result
may vary and a gap may result on the cutting surface
either to the right or left i.e. the difference between
the start and end point of the cut (Fig. O).
There is a feature in the steering device of the Exact
P400 (Fig. A/8) which, if needed, can improve the
sawing result and facilitate to reach the placement of
the initial cut.
