The EZ Ratchet Tubing Cutter allows you the ability to make close-quarter cuts without sacrificing the comfort or leverage you enjoy from a standard-size tubing cutter. Using an innovative, 360 degree ratcheting mechanism, the EZ Cutter rotates around the pipe for smooth, clean cuts. The EZ is great for cutting conduit that has been placed near a wall or other piping that would not allow the full rotation of a standard cutter. Includes an extra tempered cutting wheel stored on the handle.

• Adjustable jaws accept 5/16” to 1-1/8” tubing sizes.
• Extended rubber handle increases leverage and reduces strain on the palm.
• Ratchet cutter rotates 360 degrees around pipe in 5 degree increments.
• For copper, aluminum, brass and thin-wall stainless steel up to 1/8” thickness.
• Grooved rollers accept flared pipe ends to provide cuts directly below the flare.
• Includes replacement cutting wheel and handle storage.
• Replacement wheel RW121/2.

Instructions:
Cutting Tubing:
1. Position tubing cutter around pipe and tighten knob until pipe is snug between blade and rollers.
2. Turn the knob an extra one-half revolution for the first cut.
3. Begin using the ratchet handle to turn the cutter around the pipe.
4. As the tool cuts through the pipe, tighten the knob to keep pressure on the cutting surface.
5. Continue ratcheting the cutter and tightening the adjustment knob until the pipe is cut.
6. Use a reamer to remove any burrs formed on the surface of the pipe.

Cutting Flared Pipe:
1. Insert the flared end of the pipe into the tubing cutter.
2. Align the pipe so that the flare sits in the grooved rollers
3. Tighten the adjustment knob until the blade is contacting the pipe below the flare.
4. Follow the tube cutting procedure above.

FAQ’s
Q - How much pressure should I apply when tightening the cutter?
A - As a general rule, you should keep the cutter hand-tight at all times. If the tool is too tight, it will be difficult to turn around the pipe. If it is too loose, the cutter will spin too easily and will not make sufficient contact with the cutting surface. Retighten the knob after every full rotation of the cutter.

Q - Which replacement blade should I use with this cutter?
A - This cutter uses RW121/2 replacement blades.
