How to use the pipe cutter?
The usage method of a pipe cutter usually includes the following steps:
Check and prepare. Ensure that the pipe is not bent, adjust the cutting range to fit the outer diameter of the pipe, fix the pipe on the bracket, adjust the bracket roller to the appropriate position, and rotate the neck ring to ensure that the pipe is level.
Install and adjust the blades. Install the blade onto the cutting handle, ensure that the snap ring holds the blade in place, check the sharpness of the blade, and if necessary, replace or sharpen the blade.
Cutting operation. Press the handle to make the blade contact the pipe wall, continue to rotate the handle to fix the cutting position, turn on the power, select the appropriate cutting speed, press the foot switch to start cutting, keep the body stable during cutting, and after cutting is completed, release the foot switch to stop the pipe from rotating. Rotate the handle counterclockwise 1-2 turns to release pressure.
Cleaning and maintenance. Clean the cutting area, inspect the blades and cutter for wear or damage, replace components if necessary, clean the cutter itself, and maintain its cleanliness and good condition.
In addition, safety precautions should also be taken when using a pipe cutter, such as wearing protective gloves and glasses, avoiding contact between hands and other parts of the blade, using appropriate force and angle for cutting, avoiding excessive use and loading, and maintaining a stable posture during the cutting process.
