When the green button is actuated, the LCD display will indicate “feathering off to
finish” while the pipe ends are being finely “feathered”, to avoid a step on the pipe
end.
The motor will stop and the display will indicate that the trim cycle is complete.

Remove the trimmer to continue

Unlock the trimmer by turning the twist locks anti-clockwise. Remove the trimmer
and carefully replace it into the heater/trimmer stand. As the trimmer is removed,
a short audible tone will be heard. The machine is now ready for the pipe slippage
and alignment check stage.
Once the trimmer has been removed, clear all swarf away from the pipe ends. It is
good practise to remove the swarf from the bottom of the chassis to avoid
dragging contaminants over the trimmed pipe ends.
When the swarf has been removed check the pipe ends to ensure that the
surfaces are sufficiently trimmed and free from dirt and defects. If the surfaces are
unsatisfactory; press the red button to return to the trimming stage.
Warning! Take extreme care not to touch the pipe ends at this stage and as soon
as the pipes have been checked, proceed to the next stage.
