2.3 Operation during work
2.3.1 Operation MICROlight
- Carefully insert the cutter drive into the pipe.
- Slide the cutter drive along with the hose and push rod, if available, to the work
location; when sliding through bends, turn the cutter head in the direction of curvature
using the joystick and then deflect its stroke so that the bend can be driven through
without using force; in case of new pipelines apply a lubricant (e.g. Prima lubricant for
connecting sleeve systems); creases in lined pipes should be removed prior to
insertion.
- Position at the cutting point without contacting the pipe
- Switch the bracing bubble ON and wait for the bubble to inflate
- Switch the cutter motor ON
- Cut away material to be removed by slowly turning and swivelling the cutter (the speed
for the rotation function can be adjusted using the potentiometer on the control unit)
- During cutting work keep an eye on the illumination (no flashing - inspection
time > 30 seconds); otherwise stop cutting immediately and perform maintenance (see
4.3.2)
- There is always the possibility to upgrade the IMS Cutter MICROlight to the
IMS Cutter MICROautomatic
