The Mini K OD is conceived
for beveling pipes and prep
them for the subsequent
welding process.
It works while inserted and
locked into the OD of the
pipe.
The bevel is obtained by
bevelling tools of various
shape and materials, depend-
ing by the nature of the mate-
rial to be bevelled.
THE MACHINE SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY BY SPECIALIZED OPERATORS WHO HAVE
BEEN DULY TRAINED ON THE UNIT.
FOLLOWING TO A SPECIFIC FORMATION WE DO NOT ENVISAGE ANY REASONABLY
PREDICTALBE MISUSE OF THE UNIT

Considering the mass of the machine no particular problem has been detected in regard to the operator safety.
By always using both hands for operating the machine, the operator is unable to reach the bevelling tools as
the unit would suddenly stop – motor brake –
As provided for the paragraph 1.2.4.3. of the attachment 1 of the Machinery Directive, portable
machines are exempt to have this feature.

Select the tools for the specific preparation required and place them in the chuck one at a time.
Make sure that all the tools are installed so that they are not protruding from the chuck outside
diameter.
Once the tool is in the correct position, fix it in place by securing the set screw with the Allen key.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
1. The Mini K OD should always work with 2 tools
mounted opposite to each other on the chuck.
This will balance the workload helping the machine
to maintain a stable position during the beveling op-
eration.
2. The feeding hand wheel should be operated with
a moderate force as an excessive feeding may destabi-
lize the machine position.

Turn the feeding hand wheel clockwise to move the chuck towards the pipe and as soon as the tools
begin to work, reduce the feeding rate to a comfortable feeling, trying to maintain a constant
feeding ratio.
WARNING! Always check the position of the tools in relation to the locking feet to
prevent them to touch. THIS MAY DAMAGE THE FEET OR THE TOOLS IRREMEDIABLY.
DO NOT stop the machine while it is beveling.
When the final result is achieved, turn the feeding hand wheel counter-clockwise until the tools are
no longer touching the pipe.
Now you can release the lever to stop the machine.
