FAQs
What types of pipes can this cutter be used on?
This cutter is designed for PE, PP, PEX-, PB, and PVDF pipes, as well as sound-insulated drainage pipes with diameters ranging from 6 mm to 67 mm.
Can I use this to cut copper pipes?
No, this pipe cutter is specifically for plastic and sound-insulated drainage pipes. It is not designed for cutting metal pipes like copper.
How do I ensure a clean cut?
Ensure the cutting wheel is sharp and clean, the pipe is positioned perpendicularly within the jaws, and steady, consistent pressure is applied while operating the telescopic handles.
What is the maximum pipe diameter this cutter can handle?
The maximum pipe diameter this cutter can handle is 67 mm.
Is the cutting wheel replaceable?
Yes, the cutting wheel is replaceable. If it becomes dull or damaged, it should be replaced to maintain optimal cutting performance.
How does the ratchet mechanism help?
The ratchet telescopic design allows for efficient, step-by-step cutting action with less force, reducing user fatigue, especially when cutting thicker pipes or making multiple cuts.
What maintenance is required for this tool?
After use, clean the cutting wheel and tool body. Store in a dry place. Periodically check the cutting wheel's sharpness and replace it if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Cutter is difficult to close around the pipe.
Ensure the telescopic handles are fully extended and the ratchet mechanism is disengaged. Check for any obstructions within the jaws or on the pipe.
Cut is not clean or is leaving burrs.
Verify the cutting wheel is sharp and properly seated. Ensure the pipe is held firmly and cut is made with steady pressure. Clean the cutting wheel of any buildup.
Jaws will not open or close smoothly.
Clean the telescopic mechanism and moving parts. Apply a small amount of lubricant specifically designed for tools if necessary. Check for any signs of damage or misalignment.
Cutter jams during operation.
Ensure you are cutting within the specified diameter range (6-67 mm) and that the pipe material is compatible (PE, PP, PEX-, PB, PVDF, sound-insulated drainage pipes). Do not force the tool if it jams; retract and try again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Rothenberger Pipe Cutter 67 PL (70031) is a ready-to-use tool. Ensure the cutting wheel is clean and free from debris before each use.

Compatibility: This cutter is specifically designed for PE, PP, PEX-, PB, and PVDF pipes, as well as sound-insulated drainage pipes. It is *not* designed for cutting metal pipes (e.g., copper, aluminum, steel) or rigid conduit.
Care: After each use, clean the cutting wheel and the body of the cutter with a dry cloth to remove any pipe residue. Periodically check the cutting wheel for sharpness and damage. If the wheel becomes dull or chipped, it should be replaced to maintain cutting performance. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust on metal components and to protect the plastic parts.
