8.
If a significant amount of stock must be removed, occasionally back out of the
cut and let the tool bit spin free in the air to cool. Remove any chips, they may
harm the electro-polished tube.
9. Rotate the Feed Handle clockwise until the end of the pipe is completely
machined.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Be careful not to let the tool bit cut into the Saddle or the
Saddle Adapter.
10. Discontinue the feed and allow the Cutting Head to rotate one time for
stainless steel and up to three times for other materials. This will improve the
finish of the prep surface. Never let a tool bit ‘rub’ the surface of a stainless
steel tube without cutting. This will work harden the material and make it
difficult for the tool bit to get under the material to finish the cut. This will also
cause excessive tool bit wear.
11. For precise cuts, engage the tool bit into the end of the tube and use the
indicator sleeve located on the Feed Handle to check the depth of the cut.
The graduations are in .005” (.13mm) increments.
12. Rotate the Feed Handle counterclockwise to separate the Cutting Head and
the tube.
13. Release the Trigger to stop the Cutting Head rotation.
14. Continue to rotate the Feed Handle counterclockwise until the Cutting Head
clears the tube or pipe by at least 1/8” (3.2 mm) or more.
15. Loosen the Clamp Knob Assy to release the tube or pipe.
16. Remove all chips before starting the next end prep.
