Troubleshooting

Cutter is not cutting effectively or is slow.

Ensure the chain is properly oiled. Check that the cutting wheels are clean and free from debris. Inspect the wheels for wear and replace if necessary.

Chain is difficult to wrap around the pipe.

Verify that the pipe diameter is within the specified range (3/4" to 3 1/4"). Ensure the chain is not tangled.

Uneven or rough cut.

Make sure the cutting wheels are tracking smoothly on every pivot. Ensure consistent and even pressure during rotation. Re-oil the chain.
