4. Facing
A. Place the planer between the two ends of the pipe. Lock
the planer power switch located on the back handle of
the planer to the on position.
B. Start the planer motor by holding the black button on the
front handle of the planer and bring the pipe ends in to the
planer face until both ends of the pipe to be welded are
smooth. (The planer will automatically lock itself in place).
Bring the ends of the pipe away from the planer while the
motor is still running.
C. Turn the planer motor off, disengage the locking
device, and remove the planer.
5. Alignment
A. Bring the two ends of the pipe together to check alignment, both parallel and axial.
B. Adjust any vertical misalignment by loosening the
cap screw, which holds the vertical adjustment in
place using the proper allen wrench. Once the cap
screw is loose, the adjustment is made by lifting
and lowering the allen wrench. Once the alignment
is adjusted, retighten the cap screw. The
misalignment of the pipe should not exceed 10% of
the wall thickness of the pipe.
C. Adjust any horizontal misalignment by turning the
horizontal adjustment knob. The misalignment of
the pipe should not exceed 10% of the wall
thickness of the pipe.
D. Loosening or tightening the clamps can
eliminate egg-shaped pipe.
