WARNING
Observe the following safety measures in
order to protect against risk of injury.
■Inspect the tube facing tool daily for visible
signs of damage or defects. Have any
damage or defects repaired immediately.
■Always ensure that the machine is in good
working order and comply with these notes
on safety.
■Use only the tube ODs, wall thicknesses
and materials specied in these instructions.
Other materials should be used only after
consulting your authorized Swagelok
representative.
■Check that the work piece is correctly
clamped.
■Do not carry the tube facing tool by the
power cord and do not use the cord to pull
out the plug. Protect the cord from heat, oil
and sharp edges (chips).
■Ensure that the viewing window is closed
(TF24 series) or the guard is in place (TF16
series) before and during the facing of
tubing.
■Always work with sharp cutting tools to
reduce vibrations.
■Turn the tool off and let it run until it stops
rotating when work is complete.
Environmental Protection/Disposal
■ Dispose of chips and used gear lubricant oil
according to local regulations.
Electric tools and accessories contain a large share
of valuable raw and synthetic materials, which can be
recycled. Therefore:
■ Electrical (electronic) devices that are marked with
the symbol in Fig. 1, may not be disposed of with
household waste in accordance with European
Union (EU) regulations.
■ By using local return and collection systems, you
contribute to the reuse, recycling and utilization of
electrical (electronic) devices.
■ Electrical (electronic) used devices contain parts,
which must be handled selectively according to
EU regulations. Separate collection and selective
treatment is the basis for environment-friendly
disposal and the protection of human health.
■ Batteries that are marked with the symbol in Fig.
2 may not be disposed of with household garbage
according to EU directive 2006/66/EC.
■ In batteries containing harmful substances, the
chemical sign for the heavy metal contained is
indicated below the garbage can: Cd = Cadmium

wrong inserting of a tube. Damage to tool.
■ Before clamping the tube, ensure sufcient distance
between the MS-TF-BIT and the tube.
1. Screw the TF cutting bit (MS-TF-BIT) onto the tool holder using a
Torx screwdriver, Fig. 17.
2. Insert the tool holder with tted MS-TF-BIT laterally into the
guiding groove and position it, Fig. 18.
3. Press the tool holder against the bearing surface of the tool
support and, at the same time, tighten the screw using the Allan

Clamping the Tube for TF48
WARNING
Flying parts and broken tool can cause injury.
 ■No damaged or deformed cutting tools (MS-TF-BIT)
should be used.
 ■Firmly clamp the tube to be machined into the
clamping unit.
 ■Immediately replace worn-out tools.
 ■The inner diameter of the clamping shells must be
identical to the outer diameter of the tube to be
machined. The inner diameter is specied on the
clamping shells. The outer diameter of the tube must
be determined.
 ■Avoid tool breakage by insuring low (measured)
infeed (max clamping thickness: 0.2 mm) and correct
setting of the speed.
 ■Check that the tool holder and TF cutting bit
(MS-TF-BIT) are seated rmly and tighten if required.
■ Keep the clamping surface of the clamping jaws free
of chips and dirt.
1. Loosen the clamping screw so that the clamping shell is
completely open.
2. Ensure the cutting bit is as far back in the recess as possible.
Place tube approximately a 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the cutting
bit.
3. Clamp the tube by tightening the clamping screw.
4. Check tube for rm seating.
To loosen the tube from the machine loosen the clamping
screw.

OperationOperation
The tool should only be operated using a ground fault current
interrupt (GFCI) protected outlet.
Clamping the Tube
CAUTION
Support long pieces of tubing with suitable xtures.
Injury from tilting tool and/or tilting tubing could
result.
CAUTION
Verify that the tube facing tool is not rotating before
clamping the tube.
NOTICE
The cutting tool can be damaged by incorrect set
up. Before clamping the tube, verify there is space
between the cutting insert and the tube.
1. Insert the tube in the collet set of the tube facing tool.
2. Secure the tube by turning the tube clamp clockwise until it
stops.
Note: Clamp the tube squarely, ensuring that the tube and the
face of the collet set are perpendicular to each other. The
tube end will not have a right angle cut when not clamped
properly.
Removing the Tube
To remove the tube from the facing tool, rotate the tube clamp
counterclockwise until the tube is loose enough to remove.

To be able to stop the machine (also in case of emergency),
perform the corresponding steps and immediately remove from
the danger are, until the machine comes to a stop.
■ If the locking button is not activated release the ON-
OFF switch (also for battery).
■ If the locking button is activated press and release
the ON-OFF switch (not for battery).
■ If the ON-OFF switch does not function unplug the
power plug, or leave the danger zone as quickly as
possible and then unplug the power plug.
Setting the cutting speed
■ Set adjusting wheel to variable speed selection at
desired level (Figure 28 and 29). "I" corresponds
to the lowest and "7" to the highest number of
revolutions.
Switching the Machine On
■ Connect the TF series
■ Ensure the tube has a solid footing.
■ Press the ON-OFF switch.
WARNING

Facing the Tube
WARNING
Allow the machine to run until it stops rotating after
cutting tube to avoid injury.
WARNING
Do not touch the tool holder or cutting insert while the
tool is in operation.
WARNING
Only operate the tool with a clamped tube (all series) and
a closed viewing window (TF24 series).
WARNING
Eye protection must be worn while operating or working
near the equipment.
WARNING
Keep hands, loose clothing, and long hair away from
rotating and moving parts.
WARNING
Wear safety gloves to remove chips. Remove long and
bent chips with needle-nose pliers or a similar tool.
NOTICE
Excessive feed of the cutting insert into the tube can
damage the cutting tool or cause the tool to overheat.
NOTICE
Verify there is space between the cutting tool and the
tube before clamping the tube to prevent damage to the
cutting tool. The cutting tool can be damaged by a tube
not cut at a right angle.
NOTICE
If speed is reduced too quickly, the tool may “dig” into the
tube, causing damage to the tube face and the tool, and
may cause the tool to stop. Reduce the feed rate of the
cutting insert and the tool speed gradually.
NOTICE
Verify the motor is in drill mode if the motor is equipped
with a hammer mode. Operating the tool in hammer mode
will cause damage to the tool and the tube.
