The Air Motor working speed will be about one half of the no-load speed.
Refer to the chapter on “Cutting Speeds” for speed selection charts.
Engage the feed by pushing the Tripper Shaft in.
Monitor the cutting operation.
Apply cutting fluid as necessary.
If Chips build up so much that they tangle in the Clamshell, disengage the feed for
2-3 revolutions to clear the chip.
Then stop the Clamshell and remove the chips.
When the machine operation is finished, turn off the Air Motor by closing the
Throttle Control Valve.
In-line pipe stores energy.
When the pipe is severed, the pipe may move.
To prevent accidents due to the spring in the pipe system, be sure to secure the pipe
on both sides of the sever line in order to prevent differential movement of the pipe
ends.
Retract the Tool Holders so that the Tool Bit(s) clear the pipe OD.
The Tool Holders are retracted by rotating the Feed Sprocket clockwise using
the special Spanner Wrench supplied with the Clamshell.
Run the Air Motor until the split-lines of the Headstock and the Housing match.
Loosen the Clamping Pads.
Remove the Clamshell from the pipe.
If the Clamshell must be split to remove it, be sure that both halves are properly
supported.
