•
Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating machine. Keep sleeves and jackets
buttoned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or
machine resulting in entanglement and serious injury.
•
Do not use this machine if the switch is broken.
•
Keep hands away from rotating pipes 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 machine chucks. This practice will prevent entanglement and serious
injury.
•
Do not use this machine to make or break fittings. This practice is not an intended use of
the machine and can result in serious injury.
•
Tighten chuck handwheel and engage rear centering device on the pipe before turning
on the machine. Prevents oscillation of the pipe.
•
Keep covers in place. Do not operate the machine with covers removed. Exposure to
moving parts may result in entanglement and serious injury.
Description, Specifications
Description
The
P-
threader is an electric motor-driven machine which centers and chucks
pipe, conduit and rod (bolt stock) and rotates it while threading, cutting and reaming
operations are performed. Threading dies are mounted in self-opening die heads. An
automatic oiling system is provided to flood the work with thread cutting oil during
threading operations.

Operating Instructions
Installing Pipe In Threader
Relevant parts' name, please refer to the photos within this manual.
Adding threading oil in the oil reservoir, when the machine is switched on, the oil will
automatically cycle.
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
(Fig 1)
.
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.
5.
Tighten the rear centering device around the pipe by 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 counterclockwise spins of the speed
chuck handwheel at the front of the Threading Machine. This action “hammers” the jaws
tightly around the pipe.
