Stanley DS12, User Manual

Utility Saw Clamp

Instruction Sheet

A potentially hazardous situation exists which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury

Before cutting, make sure the pipe is in a safe condition to be cut. Support the work piece in such a way that the 
cut remains open during the cutting operation and when the cut is fi nished. Pinching the chain during the cut could 
cause chain breakage and could result in death or serious injury to the operator.

If using the pipe clamp accessory, the clamp must be attached in such a way that it does not move during the cut-
ting operation and/or when the cut is fi nished. Unexpected movement of the clamp could cause loss of control of 
the saw and could result in death or serious injury to the operator.

CLAMP and SAW INSTALLATION

STEP 1
Attach the axle to the saw:

Remove the two nuts and washers that secure the chain guard to the saw and install the axle over the chain guard, 
then re-install the two nuts and washers. Note: This is a good time to check the chain tension on your saw (see the 
DS12 user manual for proper chain tension).

STEP 2
Place the clamp around top of the pipe. Hand tighten the adjustment nut.

STEP 3
Position the saw with the attached axle on the pipe clamp by sliding the saw clamp axle through the receiver hole at 
top of the clamp. Secure with a snap pin.

STEP 4
Ensure that the saw is positioned to allow the handle to pivot during the cut unobstructed and to ensure that the saw 
tip doesn’t contact dirt. If necessary, reposition the saw clamp/saw assembly around the pipe to optimum cutting posi-
tion.

STEP 5

CUTTING TIPS

Position the saw to avoid pinching the blade or the chain as the pipe is cut. Support both ends of the pipe to prevent 
movement and possible injury to the operator.
• Hold the saw so that the chain isn’t in contact with the pipe. Start the water and activate the saw to full power.  
Press the chain against the pipe slowly, applying pressure to cut through the pipe.
• Pressure can be applied to the cut until the saw motor starts to lug.

AFTER CUTTING

When fi nished cutting, be sure to remove the saw fi rst, and then the clamp.
