4. Assemble the Miter Mandrel
Install the Gauge assembly to the Body assembly,
using four mounting bolts from the wedge cone. The
Gauge assembly must be placed as shown to permit
adjusting and locking the Extension Legs inside the
pipe.
5. Insert the Assembled Mandrel into the Pipe
Insert the Miter Mandrel into the pipe with the Gauge
Arms resting on the pipe edge. Using the Gauge
Scales to center the assembly, turn the Extension
Legs counter clockwise to tighten them against the
wall. Use the 1-1/8" wrench, provided, on the hex
machined into the Extension Legs and tighten them
as tightly as possible. Confirm that the Mandrel is still
centered and use the 2-/14" wrench to tighten the
Jam Nuts to the Body, solidly locking the Extension
Legs in place. We suggest using a soft hammer on the
wrenches on both the Extension Legs and Jam Nuts
to assure that they are completely secured.
Final assembly of the tool on the Miter
Mandrel will require that the operators
place their arms in the space between
the tool and the edge of the pipe. If the
Mandrel is not tightened fully, there is a possibility that
the Mandrel will slip and cause significant injury.
6. Install Alignment Studs
Remove the Gauge assembly and install the
alignment studs provided. These assist in aligning the
tool onto the Mandrel.
7. Installing the Tool —Vertical
When installing this on a vertical pipe (shown), the
tool is lowered carefully until the center shaft flange
contacts the Mandrel. Once the shaft flange is
securely located on the Mandrel, thread two mounting
bolts, used for the wedge cone, into the Mandrel and
gently tighten them. Remove the Alignment Studs,
install the balance of the mounting bolts and tighten
them all securely. The tool is ready to use.
