To stop the machine
● Abort all profiling jobs.
● Shut down the plasma unit as directed in the plasma unit manual (option).
● Shut down the dust collector as directed in the dust collector manual (option).
● On the top left of the touch screen, press the on/off button to shut down the

Using the main drive
The main drive height, rotation and clamping can be controlled from the remote
control material handling screen or the diagnostics screen under the main drive tab. In
the diagnostics screen you will also find the home button for the main drive rotation.
The clamping can be set to the inside or outside of the pipe and the jaws of the chuck
can be opened or closed.
Clamping a pipe in the chuck
To clamp a pipe in the chuck follow the steps below:
● Make sure the cutting trolley height is in the top position (‘home’).
● Check whether clamping is set to the inside or outside of the pipe and check that
the jaws are correctly mounted for the selected clamping (to turn the jaws see the
description below).
● Move the main drive to a suitable height to clamp the pipe and position the jaws
according to the diameter of the pipe.
● Adjust the height of the pipe trolleys so that the centreline of the pipe is aligned
with the centre of the chuck.
● Using an overhead crane or other lifting device, place the pipe on the pipe trolleys
(small pipes can be manually loaded onto the pipe trolleys).
● Move the pipe towards the main drive so that the end can be clamped by the jaws
of the chuck.
● Use the main drive clamping controls on the material handling screen or diagnostics
screen to move the jaws of the chuck in or out (depending on the clamping style)
so that they will fit inside or outside the pipe for clamping.
● Carefully adjust the height of the main drive until the jaws are inside (or outside)
the pipe and the centre of the chuck is aligned with the centre of the pipe.
● Use the clamping controls to clamp the pipe.
To turn the jaws of the chuck
Loosen the bolts on the jaws. Turn the jaws 180° and retighten the bolts. Don’t forget
to select the inner/outer clamping direction in the material handling screen or the
diagnostics screen.
