Hepworth said here on this groups when the question was asked about
cutting
their pipe:

"The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable
clean,
square cut using a variety of tools."

Let's expand this to include the whole quote:

"We do recommend the use of a Hep2O pipe cutter, however any pipe cutter
designed to cut plastics pipes should be suitable. One of the major
advantages of a purpose designed cutter is speed, however the requirements
for the cutter are that it should cut the tube square without scoring or
scratching the pipe or leaving burrs or swarf which could get under the
'O'
ring. It is for this reason that hacksaws should not be used.

The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable
clean,
square cut using a variety of tools. "

Note the line "It is for this reason that hacksaws should not be used."

If you know anything about pipe craft skills, which yours are obviously
limited, you cut the pipe with a purpose designed pipe cutter - a hacksaw.
then trim off "square without scoring or scratching".

And what they said was right: "The inventive can find many ways of achieving
a perfectly acceptable clean, square cut using a variety of tools". Note
the plural "tools". First the hacksaw to cut the pipe and other tools to
trim off and make square. They stress that the pipe sides must not be
scratched. It is clear that Hepworth mean do not just use only a hacksaw.
If you can make a cut without using expensive cutters, then what else cuts
the frigging pipe - a blowtorch?

Nothing worse than know-it-all DIYers. Get a life.
