Operation
Facing the Pipe
Position the facer between the pipe ends.
Depress the lock on the lever handle and rotate the lever
handle to the vertical position.
Attach the ratchet wrench to the facer and drive the facer counter-
clockwise while applying pressure to the lever handles. Face
the pipe until the clamping jaws bottom out on the facer stops.
Continue to face the pipe several revolutions to ensure that there
are no chips hanging on the end of the pipe.
IMPORTANT:
It is critical for proper face-off and alignment, that
facing continues until the facer bottoms out.
Open the carriage and remove the facer.

Loading Pipe Into Machine
Clean the inside and outside of pipe ends that are to be fused.
Ensure the locking cam is in the latched position.
Open the upper jaws and insert pipe in each jaw with applicable
inserts installed. Let the ends of the pipe protrude about 3/8" past
the face of the jaws. Close upper jaws. Tighten the clamp knobs.
NOTICE:
When clamping, do not over-tighten the clamp knobs
because machine damage can result.
