Specific Safety Information

WARNING
This section contains important safety information
that is specific to these tools.
Read these precautions carefully before using the
300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines to reduce
the risk of electrical shock or other serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Keep this manual with machine for use by the operator.
Safety Instructions for Transportable
Threading Machines
• Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such as
oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
• Restrict access or barricade the area when work
piece extends beyond machine to provide a mini-
mum of one meter clearance from the work piece.
Restricting access or barricading the work area around
the work piece will reduce the risk of entanglement.
• Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the
rotating pipe or machine parts leading to personal
injury.
• Do not use for other purposes such as drilling
holes or turning winches. Other uses or modifying this
machine for other applications may increase the risk of
serious injury.
• Secure machine to bench or stand. Support long
heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice will
prevent tipping.
• While operating the machine, stand on the side
where the operator controls are located. Operating
the machine from this side eliminates need to reach
over the machine.
• Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings.
Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or
screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to
a complete stop before touching the pipe. This
practice will reduce the chance of entanglement in
rotating parts.
• Do not use this machine to install or remove (make
or break) fittings, it is not an intended use of the
4
machine. This practice could lead to trapping, entan-
glement and loss of control.
• Keep covers in place. Do not operate the machine
with covers removed. Exposing moving parts increas-
es the probability of entanglement.
• Do not use this machine if the foot switch is bro-
ken or missing. The foot switch provides safe control
of the machine, such as shut-off in case of entangle-
ment.
• One person must control the work process, ma -
chine operation and foot switch. Only the operator
should be in the work area when the machine is run-
ning. This helps reduce the risk of injury.
• Never reach into the machine front chuck or rear
centering head. This will reduce the risk of entan-
glement.
• Read and understand these instructions and the
instructions and warnings for all equipment and
materials being used before operating this tool to
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
