STARTING & USING THE MACHINE
Before operaon:
• Before installing Picote tools, always make sure that the machine is fully turned
o and unplugged.
• Always round o the sharp edges of the sha to avoid cuts and to make it easier
to insert the sha into the tool or for a leader to be used.
• Check that there is the correct length of exible sha (without its plasc casing) at the end of the exible sha
and that all screws have been loosened so that the sha can be easily inserted inside the tool. Posion the sha
inside the tool, as far as it will go, and ghten the screws. Consult accessory manuals (cuers & grinding chains)
for detailed informaon. DO NOT ROTATE THE CABLE IN REVERSE UNDER LOAD!
While in operaon:
• Always lay the machine down horizontally on the oor. During drilling, grinding and cung processes, always use
a separate vacuum extracon system or run water in the drain to remove dust.
This secon contains important safety informaon. Failure to comply could result in serious injury.
1. The machine has an operator presence control or ‘OPC’. When the control is not held down, the machine
stops. The machine can also be stopped by pushing the Emergency Stop Buon down, rotang the power
gear to “O” or unplugging the machine.
2. Check the rotaonal direcon of the sha and the rpm. The rotaonal direcon switch is on the control box
(forward or reverse). The control of the rotaonal speed is also located on the control box. The rotaonal
speed increases when the speed control is turned clockwise.
3. Place the tool inside the pipe.
4. Turn on the power switch.
5. Release the Red Emergency Switch O Buon.
6. The machine starts when the OPC foot pedal is pressed down. Always hold the exible sha with both
hands rmly while operang the machine.
7. Rotang the tool slowly makes it easier to move the tool forward inside the pipe.
8. The lifespan of the sha outer casing can be prolonged by using a Sleeve Bearing designed for the outer
casing.

ASSEMBLY UNDER THE HAND GUARD
CHANGING THE FLEXIBLE SHAFT
Only use the sha and its outer casing specied by Picote Soluons. Order the replacement sha from your
reseller. The exible sha is pre-treated with Picote Flexible Sha Lubricant and the casing replaced prior to
shipping.
1. Loosen the bolts holding the hand guard and remove the hand guard.
2. Loosen the screws in the sha socket that hold the sha. Remove strain relief. Pull the old sha out of the
machine.
3. Insert new sha. Before inserng the sha inside the sha socket, add strain relief. Verify that the sha goes
all the way to the end. Tighten the screws.
4. Mount the hand guard. Tighten the bolts.

SERVICING THE FLEXIBLE SHAFT & ITS OUTER CASING
The exible sha is pre-treated with Picote Flexible Sha Lubricant and the casing replaced prior to shipping.
Always inspect the condion of the sha and its outer casing regularly. Also, inspect at least once a week that
the sha is well aached under the hand guard at the machine end. If the sha appears to have gaps between
the windings from the beginning to the end, the enre sha will need to be replaced.
Lubricant can be added between the exible sha and its outer casing when the sha is aached to the
machine. To add lubricant the sha has to be disconnected from the clutch and removed from the reel. Around 1
-1.5m (3-5) of sha should be removed from the outer casing, with the lubricant applied to the inside of the
casing. No more than 20ml/20g/1oz will be required for the enre sha. Too much lubricant can cause a strain
on the sha. Aer the lubricant has been poured, the free sha end should be pushed through the outer cas-
ing. The sha will push the lubricant evenly inside the outer casing. Connect the sha to the machine and rotate
on a low rotaon speed so that the sha will push excess lubricant to the outside. Use a mat to protect the work
area under the machine to prevent damage to oors.
Keeping the sha well lubricated will prolong its lifespan and decrease the fricon caused by the sha while it
turns round. Lower fricon will decrease the burden caused to the motor.
If preferred, the sha can be taken out of its outer casing for lubricaon.
Appropriate oil to use: Picote Flexible Sha Lubricant (available from your reseller)

Here are some useful ps on how to get the most out of your Picote
system. Always use the recommended tools for maintenance to avoid
personal injury.
Always inspect the outer casing before each
use. The easiest and safest way to shorten the
outer casing to the correct length is using a
sheath cuer. Only the necessary amount of
bare sha should be exposed at any me.
CUTTING THE OUTER CASING
SHAFT ROUNDER
The Sha Rounder is used to smooth the end
of the exible sha, prevenng the user from
being cut by the otherwise sharp metal edge .
Always inspect the exible sha before each
use. Run the machine briey in clockwise di-
recon to allow the sha to return to it’s
resng posion. If there are potenal weak
points or the sha is damaged, cut o the
damaged length using a band saw. For most
tools, the sha should extend ~40mm (1 ½”)
past the casing. Hubs and Original chains with-
out a leader require more exposed sha.

SLEEVE BEARING
Always use a Sleeve Bearing when working with the
Super Midi Miller or Super Midi Miller +C. It prolongs
the lifeme of the exible sha and prevents the
outer casing from melng in the tool end. Sleeve
bearings can be reused when outer casing has been
shortened.
CREATING LEADERS
You can extend the life of the exible sha and increase
producvity on site by making individual leaders for the
most commonly used tools. This way you can easily and
quickly switch between tools. Leaders should always be
used if the situaon permits it.
ADDING A VISUAL MARKER FOR SAFETY
If not using a “leader” aach a visual marker
(tape) on the outer casing of the exible sha.
Place it around 500mm (20”) from the end of
the sha. The marker will indicate the tools
locaon and help prevent possible injury from
the rotang parts by alerng you when the
tool is about to exit the pipe.
