Do not touch the rotang tool when the work cycle is on.
When xing the machine to the tube, be careful not to leave your ngers between the

When handling the tools, be careful with the cung blades. Use protecve gloves.
A falling machine or tool may damage your feet. Use protecve shoes.
The lubricang oil you use may cause irritaon of the skin. Use protecve gloves.
The fumes emied by the lubricant may irritate your eyes and hinder your respiraon.
Pay aenon to an adequate venlaon.
Make yourself familiar with the contents of the safety data sheet regarding the lubricants.
The loosening chips are hot and sharp. Provide adequate protecon in order not to get

The T-DRILL T-65 is a special tool intended for mechanically forming tees in copper tube
typically found in domesc, commercial and industrial tubing systems. The T-65 extrudes
in the run tube an outlet, to which the branch tube can be joined by brazing.
Before aempng to put the T-65 into service, make sure you have read and fully
understood the safety instrucons which apply to all power tools and capabilies of this
special tool.
The T-DRILL T-65 includes an electric network driven power unit with accessories. The
power unit is grounded 120V /60Hz or double insulated 230V /50Hz (sold in Europe). The
T-DRILL T-65B is a cordless version of the machine with 28V Lithium-ion baery.
