not carry the machine by the cable nor pull it to disconnect it from the plug. Protect it from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
Disconnecting the electric cable.
Before carrying out any maintenance work or change of accessories, disconnect the machine from the
mains.
Keep your machine clean.
For safe operation, keep the machine and threading heads free of swarf. Keep the handles dry and free
from oil and grease. Protect your machine against blows and do not leave it in dusty or muddy areas.
At the end of the day, lock it with its accessories in a dry place, out of the reach of children.
Check the machine when idle.
Familiarize yourself with the machine's operation. Lubricate the machine before executing any threading
operation.
Working with a generator.
Check that there is a minimum output power of 2.8 Kwa.
Attention! The use of accessories other than those indicated in the instuction manual could lead risk
of personal injury.

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.

Start up
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.
5. To insert the head into the adapter, move the mobile part of the latter counter-clockwise until it is
