Do not use power-cutting tools in the presence of flammable liquids and gases.
Do not let visitors or untrained personnel near tools that are in use.
Ensure all observers wear eye protection.
Keep proper footing at all times.
Area Equipment
Secure the pipe with clamps, vises, chains or straps.
Ensure that both sides of the pipe at the cut site is fully supported so that the pipe will not
move after the cut is completed. Long lengths of pipe may be under load and the separation
of the pipe can release pressure. This pressure can cause both sides of the pipe to move.
Tool Care
Keep tools in good operating condition. Sharp tool bits perform better and are safer than dull
tool bits.
Do not use damaged tools. Always check your tools for damage especially if a tool has
malfunctioned, been dropped or hit, check it for damage.
Before you start operating the equipment, do no-load tests and feed function checks.
Tool Use
Use the right tool and tool bit for the job. Contact Tri Tool to help with your application.
Keep the tool bits fully engaged in the tool bit holders. Loose bits are sharp and can cause
cuts or punctures.
Disconnect power supply during setup and maintenance. Use all ‘Stop’ or Shut off’ features
available when changing or adjusting tool bits, maintaining the tool, or when the tool is not in
use.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before applying power to the equipment. Check the
tool before turning it on to make sure that all keys and wrenches have been removed.
Do not force tools. Tools and tool bits function better and safer when used at the
recommended speeds.
Do not reach into rotating equipment.
Do not reach into the rotating head stock to remove chips, to make adjustments, or to check
the surface finish.
Handle chips with care. Chips have very sharp edges and are hot. Do not try to pull chips
apart with bare hands.
Store tools properly. Disconnect tools from the power source, remove the tool bits, and store
in a safe place.
