ASSEMBLY FOR CUTTING PIPE

Instructions for use with Hole Saws (required for all PVC taps):
4a. Thread the 3/4" & 1" Holesaw Adapter (354‑04‑3) into the end of the 3/4" Drill
Holder (354‑12‑06). Then thread the appropriate Holesaw onto the 3/4" & 1" Holesaw

DRILLING WITH THE 5930
1. Make sure the corporation stop is open.
2. With the corporation stop open, push on the square end of the Drill Holder until the
drill or Holesaw contacts the pipe. If the Drill Holder is hard to push, try loosening the
gland nut to free up the drill holder.
3. Lightly tighten the gland nut to form a seal between the Machine Body and the Drill
Holder.
4. Place the ratchet wrench provided onto the square end of the Drill Holder.
5. Rotate the feed screw and yoke around the Machine Body until the feed screw is in
line with the drillholder.
6. Begin ratcheting the wrench in a clockwise direction as you face the pipe. For every
two full rotations of the wrench, turn the feed screw about 1/8" of a turn.
7. If the ratchet wrench becomes difcult to turn, back off the feed screw a little and
proceed. DO NOT reverse the ratchet wrench.
8. When the tap is completed, loosen the gland nut slightly, unscrew the feed screw and
back the drill out of the corporation stop.
9. Close the corporation stop and remove the drilling machine.
10. Clean off any chips from the drill bit.
11. Wipe down the Machine before storing.
