2.5 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.
2.6 Tool Care
Keep tools in good operating condition.
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.
2.7 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 before installation, maintenance, and repair. 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.
