Overview

The Sealey VS16371 is a ratcheting exhaust pipe cutter designed for efficient and safe cutting of exhaust pipes, particularly in situations where access is restricted. This tool is manufactured to a high standard, promising years of trouble-free performance when used and maintained correctly.

Function Description:

The primary function of the VS16371 is to cut exhaust pipes and tubing with a ratcheting mechanism. This design allows for cutting without the need to rotate the tool completely around the tubing, making it ideal for confined spaces. It is capable of cutting materials up to 3mm thick, including tough materials like stainless steel exhaust pipes. The tightening screw facilitates quick and easy jaw adjustment, enabling one-handed operation. This ensures fast and problem-free cutting, while also limiting the risk of hand fatigue and personal injury.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model No.: VS16371
  • Maximum Thickness: 3mm
  • Cutting Capacity: Ø29 - 67mm
  • Replacement Cutting Wheel: VS16371B

Usage Features:

  1. Placement: To begin, the exhaust pipe or tubing is placed into the cutter jaws.
  2. Tightening: The jaw is then tightened by turning the screw clockwise.
  3. Engaging Ratchet: The user pulls the knob out and down in one movement to engage the ratchet mechanism, initiating the cutting procedure.
  4. Cutting Action: The tool is then rotated up and down, engaging the ratchet in one direction for cutting. This process is continued around the pipe until the jaws lock back into the open position, indicating a full rotation.
  5. Completion: The cutting jaws are tightened again, and the steps are repeated until the exhaust/tubing is completely cut through.

Safety Precautions (Important Warnings and Cautions):

  • Blade Sharpness: The blade is very sharp and must be handled with extreme caution.
  • Storage: Store the cutter in a safe, childproof location when not in use.
  • Work Area: Use the tool in a suitable, clean, and tidy work area, free from unrelated materials, and ensure adequate lighting.
  • Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear protective gloves during operation.
  • Cutting Resistance: Do not continue to attempt cutting any pipe that resists penetration.
  • Hand Safety: Never insert a finger into the cutting area at any time.
  • Pipe Rotation: Do not turn the pipe whilst cutting.
  • Authorized Users: Do not allow untrained individuals or children to use or play with the cutter.
  • Intended Use: Do not use the cutter for tasks it is not designed to perform.
  • Tool Condition: Do not operate the cutter if any parts are damaged or missing, as this could lead to failure and/or personal injury.
  • User Condition: Do not operate the cutter when tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating medication.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cutting Blade Replacement: To replace the cutting blade (VS16371B), the circlip (a) needs to be removed, and the bolt (b) slid out. The new blade can then be installed.
  • Lubrication: Periodically, the rollers and screw spindle should be lightly oiled to ensure smooth operation and longevity of the tool.
