This cutter is designed specifically for 15mm diameter pipes.
What materials can be cut with this tool?
It is suitable for cutting copper and stainless steel (Inox) pipes.
Do I need to adjust the cutter for different pipe materials?
While the cutter's ratchet action adjusts automatically during cutting, it is recommended to use the appropriate cutting wheel for copper or Inox, which may be sold separately.
How do I replace the cutting wheel?

Can this tool be used in very tight spaces?

Is this tool suitable for left-handed users?
The single-handed operation and ergonomic design are generally ambidextrous, but optimal comfort may vary by user.
What is the benefit of the ratchet action?
The ratchet action automatically advances the cutting wheel, requiring no manual adjustment while cutting. This makes the process faster and requires less effort, especially for continuous cutting.
Troubleshooting
Cutter not making a clean cut
Ensure the correct cutting wheel is installed for the material. Check if the cutting wheel is dull or damaged and replace it if necessary. Make sure the pipe is held firmly and the ratchet mechanism is fully engaged.
Cutting wheel gets stuck
Verify that the pipe is within the specified diameter (15mm) and material (copper/Inox). Check for any obstructions or burrs on the pipe. Ensure the cutting wheel is properly aligned.

Clean any debris from the moving parts. Apply a small amount of light oil to the pivot points and ratchet mechanism. Ensure the cutting wheel is not binding.
