• 12= Constant
• Example: d=299mm=29.9cm=30 sections of chain.
o D=30+12=42 Sections of Chain Total, So you would use 42
sections of chain for a pipe 299mm in diameter.
Ø Tighten up the main chain tightening wing-nut until the machine is adequately tight.
o Do not over-tighten wing-nut.
o Ensure the chain is at a straight 90 degree to the pipe.
Ø Engage the clutch handle on the clutch carriage assembly. This should engage the worm-wheel
and allow for activated movement when the handle is turned.
o Turn the handle to ensure movement
Ø Select appropriate size torch tips for the application. Install tip.
Ø Select cutting angle.
Ø Connect applicable gas lines.
o Make certain they are properly secured and there are no leaks. It is highly recommended
that leak testing be performed on the system prior to using the machine.
o Ensure the lines are long enough to complete the cut you are planning.
o ALWAYS use gas tank cylinders with properly outfitted regulators/flowmeters.
Ø Ensure the torch holder is not too close to the side of the machine body.
Ø Adjust the side knobs to raise the torch tip to a suitable level for lighting.
Ø Light the torch flame (see section below on proper lighting of torch flame).
Ø Adjust the side knobs a suitable level for cutting though the material.
Ø Cut material by rotating the worm-wheel handle.
o CAUTION: Make certain the user is clear of the flame when manually rotating the handle.
Ø When the cut is complete, stop the machine rotation.
Ø Shut off the torch flame.
