3) Pipe shifting adjustment
Set the pipe while shifting it by 0.5 degrees to the
spindle.
When the mount base is used in either the pipe
threading rotation direction or the reverse rotation
direction, the direction of the shift is reversed as
shown in the diagrams opposite.
Be sure to shift the pipe according to the pipe
threading machine rotating direction. (Figs. 15 and
16)).

WARNING
• If the pipe is set straight on the spindle or set in the
opposite direction, it will come off during grooving
and fall down, which could be dangerous.
• Do not fail to check the rotation direction.
Instructions of operation
1. Groove Depth Adjustment
1) Turn the handle clockwise to lower the roller holder,
and allow the upper roller to come into slight contact
with the pipe. Later, give the handle a 1/2 turn to the
handle to bring the pipe into close contact with the
spindle. (Fig. 17) .

roller against
the pipe, and
give the handle
a half turn
more.
2) Place a depth gauge on the adjusting plate, adjust
the space with the thickness matching the pipe size
with an adjusting nut. Tighten the bolt firmly, then
lock the adjusting nut. (Fig. 18).

2 1/2" - 6"
3) Pull the depth gauge away from the adjusting plate
to remove it.

CAUTION
• The depth gauge is used as a guide for groove
depth adjustment.
After trial grooving, fine-adjust the adjusting nut to
the appropriate groove depth.
By turning the adjusting nut clockwise, the groove
becomes shallower.
• By turning it anticlockwise, the groove becomes
deeper.
Giving a single turn to the adjusting nut changes the
diameter of the groove by approx. 0.7 mm.
2. Grooving
1) Turn the pipe threading machine switch "ON" to
rotate the pipe.
Allow the pipe several turns to ensure that the pipe
does not slip off the spindle flange surface.
