FAQs

What types of tubing can I cut with this tool?

You can cut hard and soft copper, aluminum, brass, and plastic tubing with diameters from 6mm to 28mm.

How do I replace the cutting wheel?

Consult the user manual for specific instructions, but generally, you will need to loosen a screw or pin to remove the old wheel and install the new one.

What should I do if the cutter gets stuck?

Stop cutting immediately. Check for any obstructions, such as burrs or debris. Try loosening the cutter slightly and then re-tightening it.

How do I maintain the cutter?

Clean it after each use to remove metal shavings, and occasionally lubricate the moving parts with a light machine oil.

Where can I find replacement cutting wheels?

Replacement cutting wheels are available at most hardware stores or online retailers that sell Ridgid tools.

Is there a warranty?

Check the packaging or the manufacturer's website for warranty information.

How do I ensure a straight cut?

Make sure the cutter is perpendicular to the tubing and that the tubing is secure before starting. Cut slowly and evenly.

Troubleshooting

Cutter does not cut the tubing smoothly.

Check the cutting wheel for damage or wear. Replace the cutting wheel if necessary. Ensure that the tubing is properly aligned and secured during the cutting process.

Cutter is difficult to advance.

Check for debris or obstructions in the autofeed mechanism. Clean and lubricate the mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Make sure you are using the correct amount of pressure.

Cuts are not square.

Verify that the cutter is perpendicular to the tubing before starting the cut. Ensure that the tubing is held firmly in place and does not move during the cutting process.
