Operating Instructions
•
Do not force the pipe threader. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are
designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
•
Be sure the pipe ends and threads of the die are sufficiently oiled at all times.
•
Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the threader without the guards in place.
•
Do not use the threader with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
•
Do not leave the threader running unattended.
•
Do not use the threader where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The threader can create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the threader. Do not allow children
to handle or operate the threader.

Any step requiring a non-rotating condition should be done only when the machine is stopped.

rear chuck, passing it through the fore chuck and past it by about 4 inches (100 mm).
2. Holding the pipe, turn the fore and rear chucks counterclockwise to secure the pipe then moderately
tighten the hammer disk by turning it counterclockwise (Fig. 5).
