Positioning Pipe into Machine
Swing the facer into place. Move the carriage toward the fixed
jaw, while watching the gap at each end of the facer guide rod
brackets. When the pipe is in contact with the facer, this gap
indicates the amount of material that will be trimmed from the pipe
end. Assure sufficient material will be removed for a complete face
off.
