SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure pipe end and threads of Die are
sufficiently oiled at all times. (See Figure D.)
Otherwise, the life of the Die Blades will be
shortened and the threads will be rough.
Figure D
2. The Direction Switch determines the direction of
the threading operation. Flip Rotating Direction
Switch to right position (arrow should point toward
head of Threader) for a clockwise rotation.
3. Make sure Trigger is in off-position, then plug in tool.
4. While holding Handle, press Trigger in and
squeeze Handle. Pipe Threader will not
engage until Safety Handle is firmly grasped.
Apply pressure until Die engages pipe, cutting
two to three threads. See Figure E.
Figure E
5. From this point, the Die will automatically be drawn
over the pipe and a standard taper thread will be cut.
6. To ensure a good, clean standard taper
thread, stop Pipe Threader every few turns,
reverse, oil pipe, and re-cut thread.
7. Stop threading when the end of the Die is flush
with the end of the pipe. At this point, the correct
thread length has been reached to produce
the proper joint. To continue beyond this point
would make a straight or running thread.
8. To finish threading operation:
a. Release Power Switch. Allow Pipe
Threader to completely stop.
b. Reverse Direction Switch.
c. Squeeze Power Switch to turn on Pipe
Threader. Allow Die to reverse path of
thread until it has fully expelled pipe.
d. Release Power Switch. Avoid damaging
newly cut threads when removing
pipe from Pipe Threader.
CAUTION! Freshly cut threads may be hot and have
sharp edges or sharp metal turnings still attached.
Clean pipe and allow it to cool before use.
9. IMPORTANT: Clean any oil spills on the ground.
At the end of each job, clean Pipe Threader
and store in a clean, dry, safe location out of
reach of children and unauthorized people.
10. To prevent accidents, turn off tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
