CAUTION:
If a significant amount of stock must be removed, occasionally back off out of the cut
and let the tool bit spin free in the air to cool.
Continue rotating the Feed Handle clockwise until the end of the pipe is completely
machined.
Be careful not to let the tool bit cut into the Saddle or the Saddle Adapter.
Discontinue feed and allow the Cutting Head to rotate one time for stainless steel
and up to three times for other materials to improve the finish of the prep sur-
face. Never let a tool bit ‘rub’ the surface of a stainless steel tube without
cutting. This will work harden the material and it will be difficult for the tool bit to
get under the
material in order to finish the cut. This will also cause excessive tool bit wear.
For precision depth of cutting, engage the tool bit into the end of the tube and use
the indicator sleeve located on the Feed Handle to check the depth of the cut. The
graduations are in .005” increments on one half of the sleeve and .13 mm
increments on the other half.
Rotate the Feed Handle counterclockwise to separate the Cutting Head and the
tube.
In order to stop the Cutting Head rotation, release the Trigger.
Continue to rotate the Feed Handle counterclockwise until the Cutting Head clears
the tube or pipe by at least 1/8” (3.2 mm) or more.
Loosen the Clamp Knob Assy to release the tube or pipe.
