CAUTION:
NOTE:
NOTE:
If a miter mandrel is to be used, please refer to the Operator’s Manual for that
miter mandrel installation.
Install the Model 224B with the Model 224B SP attached onto the installed
mandrel.
Check for correct angle of the slide.
Set the cam follower in the proper hole on the index plate for the required feed
rate.
Check for proper setting of the feed direction.
Move the Model 224B with the Model 224B SP into position to begin the cut
by rotating the feed knob clockwise.
Verify a minimum clearance of .125” (3.2mm) between the tool bit and the
pipe OD at the highest point.
Lock the BEVELMASTER™ in place to prevent axial movement by tightening
the set screw on the back of the Feed Handle Plate until it is tightened se-
curely.
Attach the proper power supply line to the drive assembly. If using a pneu-
matic drive assembly, use an adequate in-line filter, regulator, and lubricator
(FRL).
The Tri Tool Air Caddy, a portable combination filter, regulator, and lubricator
(FRL) unit is recommended.
Turn the motor on.
Let the machine rotate very slowly for one revolution to verify that the tool bit
clears the OD of the pipe.
Adjust the cutting speed by opening the Flow Control Valve at the power
supply connection.
The actual machining operation will begin when the tool bit contacts the pipe.
If the pipe end is not square with the pipe axis, the tool bit will contact only a
small segment of the pipe during each revolution.
To avoid tool bit damage, the feed rate should be very slow until the tool bit
has contacted the pipe continually for at least one full revolution.
After the cut is finished, turn the motor off to stop the cutting head rotation.
