General Cable Saw (GT-858) Cuts Plastic, Wood & Pipe

The PVC Pipe Cable Saw is an ingeniously versatile cutter for use in confined work areas. The 24” serrated cutting cable easily slices through pipe up to 8” in diameter. The Cable Saw is great for pipes that are against walls, between rafters or anywhere else where a normal cutter will not fit. Comfort grip handles make this tool easy to use.

Instructions:

WARNING – Cable and pipe will be hot. Allow to cool before handling.
WARNING – Do not stop cutting before the pipe is completely cut or the PVC will melt to the blade.

1. Loop cable around pipe
