Overtemperature Indicator
Inspecting Threads/Using a Ring Gauge
1. After removing the pipe from the machine, wipe
any oil, chips or debris from the thread.
2. Inspect the thread. Threads should be smooth,
complete, and in good form. If irregularities such
as thread tearing, thin threads, or pipe out-of-
roundness are seen, the thread may not seal.
If overtemperature occurs, the overtemperature
indicator light will flash. The machine will not
operate until the overtemperature indicator light has
stopped flashing. Release the pedal on the foot
switch and allow the machine to cool down.
Once pipe is cut, turn the machine off and
loosen the cutter wheel by turning the cutter
wheel handle anticlockwise and lift the cutting
wheel to open position.
With the machine operating so the pipe is
rotating, turn the cutting wheel handle
clockwise (recommended 1/4 turn per pipe
revolution) until the cut is complete.
Select desired application (cutting, threading or
reaming) by lowering corresponding accessory
into place.
Using cutting wheel:
a. Turn the cutter wheel handle until both cutter
and roller are touching opposite sides of the
