Special Procedures

Adjusting Pivot Arm for Correct Pipe

Size (258 Only)

1. The 258 is designed to cut pipe from 2

″ through 8″

in diameter. The pivot arm holding the cutter wheel

must be adjusted depending upon the size of the

pipe being cut. The 258 is shipped from the factory

with the pivot arm positioned for 2

″ through 4″

pipe cutting. To set the cutter for 6″ through 8″ diam-

eter pipes, do the following:

a. Remove the hairpin cotter and hitch pin from

the pivot arm (Figure 9). Reposition the pivot

arm to the locating hole marked, 6″ – 8″. (HINT:

Activate the foot pump to elevate the pivot arm.)

Align the hole on the pivot arm with the hole in the

cutter frame and insert the hitch pin and hairpin

cotter. Use handle on front end of pivot arm to

reposition (Figure 10).

NOTE! The hitch pin can be inserted from either side.

However, it is easiest to insert the hitch pin

from the opposite side of the power drive.

b. Repeat this process when adjusting the cutter for

″ through 4″ pipe. Use the locating hole

marked, 2

″ – 4″.

Changing the Cutter Wheel

WARNING

Unplug power cord when replacing cutter wheel or

conducting other maintenance.

1. To replace worn cutter wheel:

a. Remove 774 square drive adapter and power

drive from the square drive.

b. Locate locking nut on opposite side of square

drive (Figure 11). With adjustable wrench or

″

wrench, loosen nut and remove. Remove washer.
