How to Use:

1. Position the Pipe: Open the cutter fully and place the pipe squarely between the blade and the base of the jaw.

2. Align for Accuracy: Ensure the blade is perpendicular to the cutting surface for a clean, straight cut.

3. Engage the Ratchet: Squeeze the handles together in a pumping motion. The ratchet mechanism advances the blade incrementally with each squeeze.

4. Complete the Cut: Continue squeezing until the pipe is cut through cleanly.

5. Release and Reset: Once the cut is complete, release the handles and allow the blade to retract.

Care and Maintenance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the blade and body with a clean, dry cloth after use to prevent residue buildup.

• Blade Replacement: Replace the blade when dull to maintain cutting performance. Follow manufacturer instructions for safe replacement.

• Lubrication: Apply a drop of light oil to the ratchet mechanism periodically to ensure smooth operation.

• Storage: Store in a dry place, away from moisture and corrosive materials. Use a blade lock or sheath if provided.
