1. Make sure the plate or pipe surface is free from obstruction, slag and other debris.
2. Set the MiniMag XM on the pipe or plate and move the machine in a twisting motion until all
Wheels are in full contact with the pipe or plate.
Warning: When cutting pipe with a welded seam running parallel to the pipe axis, place the
welded seam between the 11:00 and 1:00 o’clock
position. Place the MiniMag XM on the pipe so it
will cross the welded seam just prior to finishing the cut.
Warning: The MiniMag XM is not designed for use on non‐magnetic or wrapped pipes or plate.
Warning: The MiniMag XM is not designed for use on spiral welded pipe as it will lose contact
with the pipe surface.
Warning: If at all possible start the cutting operation with the Machine between the 3:00 through
the 9:00 O’clock position on the pipe or plate. The piece being cut off may separate the MiniMag
XM from the surface of the material causing damage to the Machine.
Warning: Never place the Machine on the piece of pipe or plate that is being cut off.
