4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

      WARNING: Use only the hand to 

hold down the Throttle of the Power 

Operator. Using other means to hold 

down the Throttle could prevent 

the Power Operator from being 

stopped quickly if necessary, which 

may create a dangerous situation 

resulting in serious bodily injury. 

      CAUTION: The H-614 unit operates 

the Shell Cutter and feed faster than 

previous models of air power 

operators. This must be considered 

when making a cut. Pneumatically 

driven power tools are not generally 

insulated against coming in contact 

with sources of electrical current. Take 

necessary precautions if sources of 

electrical current are nearby.
A.
 Use recommended lubricants only.
B.  Maintain 90 psig (6.2 bar/621 kPa) 

air pressure at the inlet of the power 

operator, using at least a 

3

/

4

” supply 

hose. DO NOT EXCEED 100 psig 

(6.9 bar/689 kPa) under any flow 

conditions.

C. Regularly check hose, hose fittings 

and clamps for tightness and service-

ability – avoid risk of whipping hose.

D. Check to assure the exhaust air will 

be directed toward a safe direction 

to avoid blowing dust or air from the 

machine onto the operator or other 

persons in the area. 

E.  In the event of a stall, release the 

Throttle immediately. Pause for a 

moment, then restart the Power 

Operator. If the unit stalls upon 

restart, disengage the Drilling 

Machine’s Auto-Feed, manually back 

the Shell Cutter

Drill and Hub assembly is securely 

attached to the Machine Boring Bar.

C.  Liberally lubricate the teeth and inside 

of the Shell Cutter, as well as the 

cutting edges and entire length of the

1. BEFORE ATTACHING THE H-614 OPERATOR TO THE DRILLING MACHINE

A. Check the Operating Manual for the 

specific Drilling Machine that will be 

used for any special instructions for 

installing a power operator. 

 

NOTE: If attaching the H-614 Air 

Power Operator to an older model 

C1-36 Drilling Machine, the old style 

Top Bearing (part number 502707) 

will have to be replaced with the 

newer style (part number 580815), 

which includes the attachment arm 

for the power operator – contact 

your authorized Mueller Distributor.

B. Rotate the Input Shaft on the Drilling 

Machine to align with the Coupling 

on the Power Operator, remove the 

Pivot Pin from the base of the Power 

Operator and mount the unit on the 

Drilling Machine.

C. Insert Pivot Pin to secure the Power 

Operator to the Drilling Machine and 

tighten the Thumb Screw.

D. Position and tighten the Hold Down 

Wing Nut provided on the Drilling 

Machine to complete the installation.

3. INSTALL AIR POWER OPERATOR ONTO THE MACHINE

A.  Reposition the Handle/Trigger 

mechanism, if necessary, by removing 

two (2) hex socket cap screws. Rotate 

the Handle/Trigger in 90º increments 

to the desired position and secure with 

the two screws previously removed.

B. Remove the Air Inlet Bushing from 

the Handle/Trigger mechanism and 

clean the Filter Screen as required. 

IMPORTANT! DO NOT lose the 

O-ring Seal and Filter Screen. Do 

not operate the Air Motor unless 

the screen is in place.

 Reinstall the 

Screen and Air Inlet Bushing.

C.  Attach the In-line Lubricator (supplied). 

Add air motor lubricating oil to the 

Lubricator. Use Mobil DTE Light or 

equivalent.
