1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
2. Place the end of the tube on the rest plate. Lengths of
tubing longer than four feet should be supported by
pipe stands.
Pipe supports are needed to maintain
control of the workpiece.
3. Press tube gently against the brush and rotate slow-
ly until surface is bright (Figure 6).
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
4. Remove external burrs by rotating tube against debur-
ring cutter (Figure 7). This action also bevels the
end of tube for easier insertion into the fitting.
