Key specifications

• Type: Manual handheld pipe cutter with compact body
• Intended materials: commonly used plumbing and heating tubing (e.g., copper, aluminum, thin-walled metal pipes)
• Cutting capacity: suitable for small to medium diameter pipes used in plumbing and heating (check specific model limits before use)
• Construction: robust metal housing and cutting mechanism for extended service life

How to use

Secure the pipe cutter on the section of pipe to be cut, aligning the cutting wheel with the desired cut line. Tighten the tool gradually until the cutting wheel contacts the pipe, then rotate the cutter smoothly around the pipe while maintaining steady pressure. If the cutter has an adjustable feed, advance it incrementally between rotations to deepen the cut until the pipe separates with a clean, square edge. After cutting, inspect the pipe end and remove any burrs with a reamer or deburring tool before assembly or soldering.

Usage recommendations

Before use, verify the cutter's compatibility with the pipe material and diameter. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting. Keep the cutting wheel clean and replace it when dull to maintain straight, clean cuts. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion and perform periodic maintenance on moving parts to ensure reliable operation.
