SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
PIPE THREADER
•
Restrict access or barricade the area from by-
standers when the workpiece extends beyond
the machine to provide a minimum of three feet
(one metre) clearance from the workpiece. Re-
stricting access or barricading the work area around
the workpiece will reduce the risk of entanglement.
•
•
• Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled
by the rotating pipe or machine parts leading to
personal injury.
• Do not use the machine for other purposes such
as drilling holes or turning winches. Other uses
or modifying this machine for other applications may
increase the risk of serious injury.
Secure the machine to a bench or stand. Support
long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice
will prevent the machine from tipping.
While operating the machine, stand on the side
where the operator control switch is located.
Operating the machine from this side eliminates
need to reach over the machine.
•
• Do not use this machine to install or remove
fittings. This practice could lead to trapping,
entanglement and loss of control.
• Do not operate the machine without all covers
properly installed. Exposing mov
ing parts increases
the probability of entanglement.
•
•
Never run the machine without thread cutting oil.
Parts may become hot and cause machine to overheat.
Do not use dies that are showing signs of wear,
dull, or damaged. Sharp cutting tools require less
torque and the tool is easier to control.
•
•
•
• Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep coin cell battery
away from children.
• Do not use this machine if the foot switch is
broken or missing. The foot switch provides safe
control of the machine, such as emergency shutoff
in case of entanglement.
•
• Never reach into the machine from front or rear
chuck, this will reduce the risk of entanglement.
• Only one person must control the work process,
tool operation, and foot switch. Additional people
involved in the process may result in unintended
operation and personal injury.
• Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned while oper-
ating the tool. Do not reach across the tool or
pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or the tool
resulting in entanglement.
Do not use cart to transport other loads or add
additional accessories.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation
or burns.
•
•
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials
such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
Keep hands away from rotating pipe and
fittings. Stop the machine before wiping pipe
threads or screwing on fittings. Allow the
machine to come to a complete stop before
touching the pipe. This practice will reduce the
risk of entanglement in rotating parts.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
•
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, when
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use a
suitable dust extraction solution.
•
•
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for a
replacement.
Fingers can be pinched between the legs of the
cart. To reduce the risk of injury while setting
up/collapsing, keep fingers out of areas where
the legs are secure in place.
Only use MILWAUKEE
®
or equivalent die
heads. Other die heads may not fit correctly in
the tool increasing the risk of equipment
damage and personal injury.
Before each use, inspect the pipe threader for
any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or
binding parts or other damage. Confirm that the
foot switch is attached and operating properly.
Such preventive measures reduce the risk of
serious injury from electric shock, crushing and
helps prevent pipe threader damage.
Always use common sense and be cautious
when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate
every situation that could result in a dangerous
outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not
understand these operating instructions or you feel
the work is beyond your capability; contact
MILWAUKEE
®
Tool or a trained professional for
additional information or training.
