Begin Facing
Turn facer on by opening valve on top of the facer.
Move the selector valve on the hydraulic manifold block to the
top (facing pressure) position.
The facing pressure should be set as low as possible while still facing
pipe. Excessive facing pressure can damage the facer. It may be
necessary to adjust the carriage pressure.
Facer blades are sharp and can cut. Never
attempt to remove shavings while the facer is
running, or is in the facing position between the
jaws. Use care when operating the facer, and
when handling the unit.
Activate the carriage control valve and move the carriage to the
left to begin facing. Continue to face the pipe until the rest buttons
on the jaws bottom out on the facer rest buttons.

Butt Fusion Procedure
3 - 4
Positioning Pipe In Machine
Swing the facer into place. With the carriage control valve lever,
move the carriage toward the fixed jaws, while watching the gap
at each end of the facer rest buttons. When the pipe is in contact
with the facer, this gap indicates the amount of material that will
be trimmed from the pipe end. Assure sufficient material will be
removed for a complete face off. Tighten the clamp knobs on the
outside jaws. Hand tighten the inside clamp knobs.

Loading Pipe Into Machine
Clean the inside and outside of pipe ends that are to be fused.
Open the upper jaws and insert pipe in each pair of jaws with
applicable inserts installed. Let the ends of the pipe protrude about
1" past the face of the jaws.
