Always turn machine off before doing any adjustments

or service.

•SECURE LOOSE CLOTHING AND JEWELRY.

Secure or remove loose-fitting clothing and jewelry, and

securely bind long hair, to prevent them from getting

caught in moving parts of the machine.

•KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR. Keep all clutter and

nonessential materials out of the work area. Only people

directly involved with the work being performed should

have access to the area.

•DO NOT OPERATE IN POTENTIALLY

EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS. The Guillotine saw

can create sparks, which can cause an explosion in the

presence of flammable or explosive materials.

Protective Equipment Requirements

For additional information on eye and face protection, refer

to Federal OSHA regulations, 29 Code of Federal Regula-

tions, Section 1910.133., Eye and Face Protection and

American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1, Occu-

pational and Educational Eye and Face Protection. Z87.1 is

available from the American National Standards Institute,

Inc., 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018.

Hearing protectors are required in high noise areas, 85 dBA

or greater. The operation of other tools and equipment in the

area, reflective surfaces, process noises, and resonant struc-

tures can increase the noise level in the area. For additional

information on hearing protection, refer to Federal OSHA

WARNING

Always wear impact resistant eye pro-

tection while operating or working near

usage guidelines.

• Do not exceed 1800 psi hydraulic pressure.

• Lubricate the machine according to the recommenda-

tions in Chapter 6.

• Before starting the machine, make sure the feed drive is

Chapter 3

Introduction to the

Super D Pipe Saw

Read this chapter carefully to become familiar with the

components of the Guillotine Super D pipe saw.

USAGE AND APPLICATIONS

The Guillotine Super D pipe saw is designed for cold-cut-

ting pipes of any material from 10” to 24” diameter, as well

as solids such as bar stock and rails. The saw has a “V”-

saddle base that ensures square alignment with the work-

piece, and an autoclamping mechanism to simplify installa-

tion on the workpiece. The Guillotine Super D will cut

approximately one diameter inch per minute.

The reciprocating motion of the Guillotine saws lifts the

blade from the cut on the return stroke, greatly increasing

blade life. Blades are easily changed out when worn.

Guillotine saws are available for hydraulic, electric, and

pneumatic power sources. Available accessories include

hydraulic autoclamping for fast setup in difficult environ-

ments (such as underwater cutting) and adjustable autofeed

for automated cutting.
