Operation Using Machine-
Mounted Tools
WARNING
Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating
Threading Machine. Keep sleeves and jackets but-
toned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe.
Do not use this Threading Machine if the foot switch
is broken or missing. Always wear eye protection to
protect eyes from dirt and other foreign objects.
Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings.
Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or
screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to
a complete stop before touching the pipe or ma-
chine chucks.
Do not use this machine to "make-on" or "break
off" fittings. This practice is not an intended use of
this Threading Machine.
Installing Pipe In Threading Machine
1. Check to insure the cutter, reamer and die head are
swung to UP position.
2. Mark the pipe at the desired length if it is being cut to
length.
3. Insert the pipe into the Threading Machine so that the
end to be worked or the cutting mark is located about
12 inches to the front of the speed chuck jaws.
4. Insert workpieces less than 2 feet long from the front
of the machine. Insert longer pipes through either
end so that the longer section extends out beyond the
rear of the Threading Machine.
WARNING
To avoid equipment tip-overs, position
the pipe supports under the workpiece.
5. Tighten the rear centering device around the pipe by
using a counterclockwise rotation of the handwheel
at the rear of the Threading Machine. This prevents
movement of the pipe that can result in poor thread
quality.

6. Secure the pipe by using repeated and forceful coun-
terclockwise spins of the speed chuck handwheel at
the front of the Threading Machine. This action "ham-
mers" the jaws tightly around the pipe.
