CAUTION:

You will break the Feed Pin if the Feed Pin to Sprocket alignment is incorrect.

To check the Feed Pin to Sprocket engagement reference the ‘Feed Pin to Sprocket
Engagement’ information later in this section.

SELECT AND INSTALL THE DESIRED TOOL BIT SET

Reference ‘Tool Bit Set-Up’ later in this section.

Turn the Motor(s) on to full speed.

Engage the feed by pushing the Tripper Shaft 'in'.

Monitor the cutting operation.

Apply cutting fluid as necessary.

When chips build up so much that they tangle in the Clamshell, disengage
the feed for two (2) to three (3) revolutions to clear the chip.

Then stop the Clamshell and remove the chips.

Reference the ‘Severing’ information later in this section for specific machining
procedures.

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.

When the machining operation is finished, disengage the Feed Pin by pulling the
Tripper Shaft to the ‘out’ position.

Allow the Headstock to continue for three (3) revolutions to complete the
cutting operation.

Turn the Motor(s) off.

Retract the Tool Holders so that the Tool Bit(s) clear the Pipe OD.
