A piece of nylon string worked back and forth will work, it's slow but it will work. Using the string allows you to move around the pipe cutting it without cutting the wires. It sometimes takes awhile and it's not easy, it also uses alot of string but it is fairly safe.

generally with a hacksaw placing the blade at a 45 degree angle; with the conduit under the saw the forward edge of the saw would point toward the 10 o'clock position there is also a specialty tool made where a frame clamps onto the conduit and a round built-in blade is spun by cranking a handle - the blade lines up on the conduit in the 12 - 6 o'clock position it kind of looks like a cheese grater

Most electricians use a hacksaw DO NOT use a pipe cutter -- make sure you ream the end

Whatever method you use, be sure to ream the inside and outside of the conduit so it is smooth.
