in the OFF position and that the power cord is un-
plugged.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the threading ma-
chine, including the handles and controls. This allows
better inspection of the machine and helps prevent the
machine or control from slipping from your grip during
use. If necessary, clean the speed chuck inserts with
a wire brush. Remove metal shavings and chips
from the die head and chip tray.
3. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage or mod-
ification, such as cuts or a missing grounding plug.
4. Make sure that the foot switch (See Figure 1A) is at-
tached to the machine and that it and the cord are in
good condition. Press the foot switch treadle and
confirm that it cycles smoothly and does not stick.
5. Check that the warning label is firmly attached and
readable. See Figure 2.

6. Inspect the threading machine for any broken, missing,
misarranged or binding parts or any other condition
that may prevent the safe and normal operation of the
machine.
7. Inspect the cutting edges of the dies, cutter wheel and
reamer for wear, deformation, chips or other issues.
Dull or damaged cutting tools increase the amount of
force required, produce poorer quality threads and in-
crease the risk of injury.
8. If necessary, lubricate the threading machine per
the maintenance instructions. Wipe any excess lu-
bricant from the machine.
9. If any issues are found during the inspection of the
threading machine, do not use the machine until
those issues have been corrected.
10. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being
used per its instructions to make it is sure functioning
properly.
