Operation
Positioning Pipe in Machine
Position the facer on the guide rods and lock into position. Using
lever handle, bring pipe ends together against the facer, watching
the gap between the facer stops and the pipe clamping jaws. Leave
enough gap so that proper face-off will be achieved when the facer
stops are bottomed out against the clamps. Tighten the pipe clamp
knobs by hand until firm resistance is felt. Do not over-tighten.
NOTICE: Thoroughly clean all dirt and debris from pipe ends before
facing.

Facing the Pipe Manually
Turn facer handle counterclockwise and apply firm pressure on lever
handle. Continue facing until facer stops have bottomed out against
the clamping jaws. Stop rotation of facer. Move jaws apart.
Unlatch and remove facer. Remove shavings from pipe ends and
machine. Do not touch faced pipe ends.
Inspect both pipe ends for complete face off. If the face off is
incomplete, return to Loading Pipe Into Machine.

Electric Facer
The electric facer should be started before the pipe is pushed into
contact with the blades. Continue facing until the facer stops are
against the jaws then turn off the facer while continuing to hold
pressure closed on the lever until the facer stops completely.
Reverse force to the lever handle to move the pipe ends away
from the facer. Unlatch and remove the facer taking care not
to touch the pipe ends. Remove shavings from pipe ends and
machine. Do not touch faced pipe ends as this may contaminate
them.
If after facing any imperfections are visible on the ends of the pipe
move the pipe inward and reface.
Any time clamp knobs are tightened pipe ends should be refaced.
