NOTE:
CAUTION:
Reference 'Tool Bit Set-Up' for selection and setup instructions located later in
this section.
Turn the Hydraulic Motors on to full speed.
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 two (2) to three (3) revolutions to clear the chip.
Stop the Clamshell and remove the chips.
Reference 'Severing' for the specific machining procedures located later in
this section.
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 off the Hydraulic Motors by closing the Throttle Control Valve.
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 Hydraulic Motors until the split-lines of the Headstock and the Housing
match.
