Illustration E. If the workpiece is properly supported, it should not pinch when the cut is completed. If there is any residual pinching, however, it will be at the bottom of the wheel, where it may result in pull-away, but not in kickback. Be alert for pull-away. If the pipe can be rolled: N Use only the bottom of the abrasive cutting wheel to make an initial partial cut with the guard of the machine pushed fully forward to the limit stop, covering the top of the wheel. N Roll the pipe, resecure and support it. Make another partial cut using the bottom of the wheel and the guard covering the top of the wheel. N Repeat this process until the cut is complete. N Be alert to bell ends or any other feature of the pipe that could cause the cut to close on the wheel if the pipe is not properly supported and secured. Bell ended pipes, even when lying on level ground, can create a ramp effect that may cause the pipe to sag or drop when cut, pinching, binding or clamping the The sequence of cuts (in the illustrations below, 1 to 4) is recommended: 12 N Always make severing cuts so that the abrasive cutting wheel is not pinched, bound or clamped. N Use wedges and/or leave sections of pipe to be manually broken out after cutting. Always continue to wear appropriate eye protection when finishing a cut by breaking it manually. 180BA025 AM 180BA024 AM N If the severed part remains in the recess after cutting, do not make any further cuts - break the part out manually, using a hammer or other appropriate tool. Always continue to wear appropriate eye protection when finishing a cut by breaking it manually. TS 410, TS 420 25
