WARNING:
NOTE:
Use of dull or improperly designed Tool Bits or Tool Bits not manufactured by
TRI TOOL INC. factory warranty may result in poor performance and may
constitute abuse of this machine and therefore voids the TRI TOOL Inc.
factory warranty.
Install the Tool Bits into the Tool holders.
Refer to the ‘Tool Bits’ section of this manual for installation drawings for each
of the Tool Bits to see Tool Bit set-up.
The wall thickness plus 3/4” (19.0 mm) of Tool Bit should be protruding from the end
of the Tool Holder.
Tighten the Tool Bit set screws, then verify that there is adequate clearance between
the Tool Bits and the pipe by rotating the Headstock.
The Leading Tool Bit should contact the pipe approximately .020” (.51 mm) to .040”
(1.02 mm) before the Trailing Tool Bit.
SEVERING
When the Tool Bits sever the pipe, disengage the Feed Pin and let the Headstock
rotate two (2) to three (3) times to clear the chip.
When the machining operation is finished, disengage the Feed Pin by pulling the
Tripper Shaft to the ‘out’ position.
