Reaming I.D. of Tube

1. Turn ON/OFF switch to ON (I) position. Keep hands
away from tube ends and rotating parts.
2. Securely grasp the tube. Properly support the tube to
help maintain control.
3. Place the tubing over the reamer cone and gently
apply pressure (Figure 13) . Do not force the tube
into the reamer. This will remove burrs from inside of
the tubing. The maximum reaming capacity is 2" (54
mm) tubing. Do not try to deburr larger tubes.

4. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF (O) position.

Cleaning Inside of Fittings

1. Check that the installed brush is the correct size for the
fitting diameter. New brushes (up to 3" size) are sim-
ilar in size to the tube O.D. If needed, install correct
size fitting brush on the quick-change collet as
described in "Fitting Brushes and Holder" section of
Tool Assembly.
2. Turn ON/OFF switch to ON (I) position.
3. Keep fingers away from brush. Push fitting over the
rotating brush (Figure 14) . Hold the fitting securely to
prevent rotation and press O.D. of the fitting against the
O.D. of the brush. Continue until fitting I.D. is clean,
then pull fitting off of brush.
4. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF (O) position.

Maintenance Instructions

WARNING
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position and the machine is unplugged before per-
forming any maintenance or making any adjust-
ments.
Maintain tool according to these procedures to
reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock,
entanglement and other causes.

Cleaning

Gently clean the machine after each use with a clean dry
cloth. Keep the rollers clean and free from dirt and debris.
Keep the reamer, brush, cutter wheel and deburring disk
clean and free from chips for maximum efficiency.

Lubrication

Keep a light coat of lubricating oil on the rack and pinion,
the cutter wheel shaft, and the guide roller shafts. Wipe up
any excess oil.
Adusting Rack Tension
Use a 5 / " hex key to tighten or loosen rack tension set
32
screw (Figure 15) as desired. Typically it is set just tight
enough to prevent rack movement under it's own weight.

Cutter Wheel Replacement

Replace the cutter wheel when the cutting edge becomes
chipped or flat.
1. Loosen the shoulder bolt and remove the roller and
slide assembly (Figure 15) . Do not remove the shoul-
der bolt, this keeps the tension spring in place.
