attached to a second screw holder. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The cutter clamp according to claim 2, wherein the hollow rod is attached to a corresponding one of the first arm part or the second arm part, such that when the first arm part is adjusted, the hollow rod moves relative to the second arm part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The cutter clamp according to claim 2, wherein the second arm part comprises a further hollow rod positioned between the first screw holder and the second arm second end. ### Claim 5 A cutter clamp that comprises a first arm part and a second arm part, wherein the first and second arm parts are arcuate and arranged to adjustably at least partially enclose a major part of a circumference having a center, wherein the cutter clamp comprises a hollow rod arranged for receiving a mounting rod for a power cutter in a pivoting manner, wherein the cutter clamp comprises a locking screw that is rotatably attached to a first screw holder and is arranged to engage threads comprised in a second screw holder such that turning the locking screw enables adjustment of the first and second arm parts, wherein the first and second arm parts comprise a corresponding first end and second end, wherein a first arm second end is attached to the second arm in a pivoting manner by means of an arm attachment rod between a second arm first end and a second arm second end, wherein the hollow rod is positioned between the first screw holder and the second arm second end. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The cutter clamp according to claim 5, wherein the second arm part comprises the first screw holder positioned between the first arm second end and the second arm second end, wherein the first arm part comprises an attachment rod that is attached to the second screw holder. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The cutter clamp according to claim 5, wherein the second arm part comprises contact teeth arranged to contact a pipe. ### Claim 8 A cutter clamp that comprises a first arm part and a second arm part, wherein the first and second arm parts are arcuate and arranged to adjustably at least partially enclose a major part of a circumference having a center, wherein
