Use the air motor to turn the drilling rod
clockwise.
While the drilling rod is rotating clockwise slowly
hand feed the cutter downward by turning the feed
tube handles clockwise to cut the pipe.
(Do not feed the cutter too quickly and cause a
bind and potential cutter breakage. Especially on
steel and cast iron.)
The tapping procedure is finished when the
drilling rod can rotate without any resistance or
the maximum drilling depth mark is reached.
NOTE: You will feel less resistance twice - once
in the beginning when the pilot drill has perforated
the pipe wall and secondly when the cutter is
completely through.
To retract cutter and coupon, continue spinning
the drilling rod clockwise while rotating the feed
tube counterclockwise until you have reached the
starting position with 3 threads exposed.
(NEVER turn the drilling rod counterclockwise.
This can damage the cutter.)
WARNING: Always control the drilling rod.
Free the drilling rod by unlocking the bayonet
lock. Then pull the drilling rod completely
upwards above the ball valve.
(If assistance to get the cutter out is needed, turn
the drilling rod clockwise.)
(NEVER turn the drilling rod counterclockwise.
This can damage the cutter.)
(Be aware of the fact that the pressure inside
the pipeline may automatically move the rod
upwards. Avoid being above the rod with your
hands or face.)
WARNING: Always control the drilling rod.
