4. Preparing the Brake Pipe
Important: ALWAYS ensure that the brake pipe is correctly
prepared before aring.
• The end of the pipe MUST be cut square.
• The outside edge of the pipe must be chamfered by
approximately 0.25mm at 45°.
• The bore of the pipe must be deburred.
• If the pipe is plastic-coated, remove at least 6mm from
the end of the pipe to be ared, ensuring that the pipe is
not scored and that no metal is removed while doing so.
Important: DO NOT use an abrasive cloth on the end of the
brake pipe to be ared.
5. Maintenance and Storage
• Clean the product of dust or debris before and after
each use.
• Replace any punch that shows signs of damage or
excessive wear.
• Before storing the product, wipe it thoroughly with a
lightly oiled cloth to prevent corrosion of the exposed
metal parts.
• Store the product in a clean and dry environment, out of
