i ca't fit the 40mm pipe in the cutter. am i using it wrong ?

whats the right way.


Hacksaw, or lever-action secateurs.


Or old wood saw.

Then a file to get rid of the rough bits,


Or run a blade of a penknife around it inside and out taking off the
rough edges - quicker and easier IME than a file.

and emery paper/cloth if you really need it smooth.
