6. Setting up the pipe
/
Removing the pipe
-
Do not install or remove a pipe when the machine is moving, such as when operating the machine or just after you
switch it off. If you do, you may get entangled, leading to accident or injury. Start operation after you make sure the
machine has come to a complete standstill.
-
When installing or removing the pipe, remove the plug from the power outlet or the machine could suddenly start
operating leading to injury or accident.
-
Open the hammer chuck and rear chuck wider than the size of the
pipe to be threaded and insert the pipe from the rear chuck side
where possible. (
Fig. 10)
(In the case of a short pipe, insert a pipe
from the chuck side.)
-
Close the rear chuck and, holding the pipe in your right hand, close
the hammer chuck with your left hand to place a grip lightly on the
pipe and make sure the chuck jaw inserts engage the pipe properly.
Pull the hand-wheel sharply towards you to lock.
-
A sharp jerk in the opposite direction will release the pipe once you
have finished threading. Next, remove the pipe after releasing the
rear chuck.
Suggestions for short pipes
-
Lightly grip the pipe with the chuck, gently engage the dies with the
end of the pipe to be threaded, and then tighten the hammer chuck
again.
(Fig. 11)
Note: Chuck the pipe with the pipe protruding at least 31/2 from
the edge of the chuck jaw insert. (Fig. 11)

WARNING
-
Before connecting the plug to the socket, check that the
machine switch is turned OFF to prevent abrupt movements
that could lead to accident or injury.
-
When you use a 110 - 120V power supply, ensure it is
grounded or you may get an electric shock. If the power
socket
is already grounded, first remove the supplied adapter
with the ground.
Not using a pipe support may result in irregular threads, damage
to the machine and/or accident or injury.
