Operating instructions
6.1 Preparation for start up
1. Do not thread without using the tube clamp.
The tube clamp should be used even when threading the smallest sizes.
2. Check that the tube clamp is perfectly mounted.
If the tube is not fastened correctly, the machine would rotate on the threading head, with the consequent
risk of injury to the operator. The tube fastening bolt is left loose inside the case cover and should be
screwed into its corresponding hole.
3. Check condition of ON switch.
When released of pressure, check that the ON switch unblocks automatically.
4. Use of extension cables.
Check that the cable is as thick and as short as possible. The extension cable should be for more than 15
Amp and not longer than 30 metres.
5. Do not thread without abundant and continuous lubrication.
Good lubrication will prolong the life of your machine and threading heads. It will also improve threading
quality.
6. Always thread at working speed.
Threading from right to left should be done at the working speed indicated on the reversing gear lever
in the direction of the arrow. Fast speed will only be used to unscrew the threading head from the tube.
For left thread, insert the threading head at the opposite end of the machine and maintain rotation in
work direction.
7. Do not change speeds during the threading operation.
When the threading operation has been completed, stop the machine and change gears to initiate reverse
movement and free the tube.
6.2 Start up
18
1. Before carrying out any operations with the machine,
first read the general safety instructions and
preparations for start up.
2. Fasten the tube clamp securely and check that the
machine's anchor bolt is parallel to the tube to be
threaded. The bolt should extend over the end of the
tube by approximately 1 or 1.5 cm.
3. Choose the threading head according to your needs
and mount it in the octagonal coupling of the
machine. Fit the adapter first, when using a 1.1/4"
head. For right thread, insert the threading head ad
the front of the machine. For left thread, insert the
threading head at opposite end of the machine.
4. When using the adapter, this should be directly
inserted in the octagonal coupling of the machine
on the same in which the threading head has been
inserted (right thread: front side; left thread: opposite
side) and secured by its threaded cap.
