4 Preparations for operation
4.1 Transporting the threading machine
Bend at the knees when lifting the machine so as to protect your back against
over-stressing.
Weighing more than 35 kg, you need 2 people to carry the machine safe!
Fix the tool carriage so that it cannot move while the machine is being transported. Hold
the machine securely by its base to lift it. Do not hold the machine by its centring chuck or
the internal deburrer when carrying it!
If the machine is transported with the thread cutting oil still inside, the oil might splash out
onto clothing due to vibrations!
Thread cutting oil on the surface of the machine makes it slippery. Ensure that it does not
slip out of your hands when you lift it!
4.2 Setting up the machine
Set up the machine in a dry location!
Place the machine on a level surface
without spaces or on a flat work bench.
The centring chuck must be higher in
relation to other parts of the machine so
that no thread cutting oil can escape via
the pipe being machined and contami-
nate the floor! Ensure that there is
sufficient space around the machine
and in the working area!
