OPERATION
Resisting Threading Forces
Always use the support device provided with the tool. The support
arm clamps to the pipe and helps to resist the threading forces.
WARNING! Loss of control during operation can result in personal
injury.
Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the housing. Allow the tool to come
to a complete stop before changing speeds.
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: Clockwise,
counterclockwise, and lock. Always allow the motor to come to a
complete stop before using the control switch.
For clockwise rotation, push in the control switch from the left side
of the tool. Check the direction of rotation before use. This
rotation will produce right-hand threads when the die is
inserted from the left (front) side of the tool.
For counterclockwise rotation, push in the control switch from the
right side of the tool. Check the direction of rotation before
use. This rotation will produce right-hand threads when the
die is inserted from the right (back) side of the tool.
Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before perfor-
ming maintenance, changing accessories, storing the tool and any
time the tool is not in use.
Threading
Properly prepare the pipe. Make sure the pipe is squarely cut and
deburred. Pipe cut at an angle can damage the dies while threading
and can cause diffculty engaging the die head. The pipe must be
stable and secured to prevent tipping during use. Use appropriate
pipe stands to support pipe length.
WARNING! Do not wear jewelry, loose fitting clothing, or use a rag
while operating tool. Do not wear gloves prone to snagging while
pushing on or near moving parts; this increases the risk of entang-
lement and injury. Once the dies engage the pipe, threads will be
cut as the dies pull themselves onto the end of the pipe.
WARNING! Always firmly hold the tool to resist the tool forces.
Support devices could, in rare cases, slip and allow the tool to move.
Use an oiler to apply a generous quantity of thread-cutting oil to
the area. This will lower the necessary threading torque, improve
thread quality, and increase die life.
WARNING! Cuttings may be sharp. Clean up any oil spills to
maintain a safe work environment.
For Left-Handed Threads, reverse the clockwise/counterclockwise
selections.
Inspecting Threads/Using a Ring Gauge
1. Wipe any oil, chips or debris from the thread.
2. Inspect the thread. Threads should be smooth, complete, and in
good form. If irregularities such as thread tearing, thin threads,
or pipe out-ofroundness are seen, the thread may not seal.
3. To check the size of the thread with a ring gauge, thread the
gauge onto the pipe and hand-tighten. The end of the pipe
should be flush with the side of the gauge (plus or minus one
turn). If thread does not gauge properly, cut off the thread,
adjust the die head, and cut another thread. WARNING! Using a
thread that does not gauge properly can cause leaks.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
appliance.
Never open the pipe threader, removable battery or charger.
Check the pipe threader for any problems such as noise or jamming
of moving parts that could be affecting the tool.
Check the cutting tools for cracks and other signs of wear.
Clean dust and debris from openings. Keep handle clean, dry and
free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean,
since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpen-
tine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never
use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Check that the dies are sharp and replace worn dies always as a
complete set.
Replace the dies when they become chipped or damaged.
Always replace dies as a complete set.
To avoid injury and damage, never immerse the tool, removable
battery or charger in liquid or allow liquid to penetrate them.
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
Further service and repair work may only be carried out by autho-
rised specialist workshops.
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare parts. Should
components need to be replaced which have not been described,
please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents (see our list of
guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please
state the Article No. as well as the machine type printed on
the label and order the drawing at your local service agents or
directly at: Techtronic Industries GmbH, Max-Eyth-Straße 10,
71364 Winnenden, Germany.
