SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Whenusingrotating headcuttingequipment,basic safety precautionsshouldal-
waysbefollowed to reducetheriskof personal injury.
Operatethistool only in accordancewithspecificoperatinginstructions.
Donotoverride the deadman switchonthepowerunit. Locking down, obstruct-
ing,orinanywaydefeating thedeadman switchon thepowerdriveunitmayresult
inserious injury.
Usestandardsafety equipment. Hardhats,safetyshoes, safety harnesses,pro-
tectiveclothes,andothersafetydevicesshouldalwaysbeusedwhenappropriate.
Usesafetyglasses. Do not operate cutting toolswithouteyeprotection.
Dressproperly. Donot wearlooseclothing orjewelry. Theycanbe caughtinrota-
tingand moving parts. Avoidslipperyfloors orwearnonskid footwear. If youhave
longhair, wearprotectivehaircoveringto contain it.
Keeptheworkarea clean. Cluttered work areas and benches inviteinjuries.
Considertheworkareaenvironment. Keeptheareawelllit. Keepelectricalcords,
cables, rags, rigging straps, etc. clear of rotating equipment. Do not use power
cuttinginthepresence of flammable liquids and gasses.
Keepvisitors away. Donotlet visitorsoruntrainedpersonnel atornearoperating
tools. Enforceeyeprotection requirements for allobservers.
Do not over reach. Keep proper footing at all times.
Stay alert. Watchwhat you aredoing. Usecommonsense. Do not operate tools
whenyou aretired.
Maintaintoolswithcare. Keeptoolsingoodoperatingcondition. Sharp tool bits
performbetterandsaferthandull toolbits. Well maintainedtoolsfunctionproperly
whenneeded.
Checkfor damagedparts.Ifa toolhasmalfunctioned, beendroppedor hit,itmust

Donot abuse power and control cords. Pullingor running over cords and cables
canresultinelectricalshockhazards and malfunctions. Keep control and power
cordsoutof all cuttingfluidsandwater.
Hydraulicdrives. Observeproperproceduresforelectricallydrivenpowersources.
Avoiddamagetohydraulic lines. Keep quick-disconnects clean. Gritcontamina-
tioncauses malfunctions.
Airtools. Checkthe exhaust muffler. Brokenordamaged mufflerscan restrict air
floworcauseexcessivenoise. Use air motors only with a filtered, lubricatedand
regulated air supply. Dirty air, low pressure air or over pressure air will cause
malfunctions,including delayedstarting.
Securework. Wheneverpossible use clamps,vises,chainsand straps tosecure
pipe.
Make sure the tool is secured; it is safer to have both hands free to operate the
tool.
Ustheright tool and tool bitforthejob. Do not use a toolwhichisincorrect for the
jobyouaredoing.
Keep the tool bits fully engaged in the tool bit holders. Loose bits are a safety
hazard.
Disconnectpowersupply during setupandmaintenance. Use all stoporshut-off
features available when changing or adjusting tool bits, maintaining the tool, or
whenthetool is notinuse.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before applying power to the equipment.
Developahabit of checking thetoolbeforeturningit on to makesurethatallkeys
andwrenches havebeenremoved.
Donotforcetools. Toolsandtoolbitsfunctionbetterandsaferwhenused at the
feedandspeedratefor which they were designed.
Donotreach into rotatingequipment. Donot reach intotherotatinghead stock to
clear chips,tomakeadjustments,or tochecksurfacefinish. Amachine designed
tocutsteelwill not stop for a hand or anarm.
Handle chips with care. Chips have very sharp edges and are hot. Do not try to
pullchips apartwithbare hands;theyarevery tough.
Avoidunintentionalstarts. Donotcarryor handletools withyourhandontheoper-
ating switches or levers. Do not lay the tool down in a manner which will start the
drive.Donot allow thetooltoflip around or movewhenadjustingor changing tool
bits.
Store idle tools properly. Disconnect tools from the power source and store in a
safeplace. Removetoolbitsfor safe handling of the tool.

Basic Feed Recommendations are:
Useverylight feed for initialbevelingoruntil a continuous cutisestablished.
Thisis veryimportant forlongertoolbitlife whencuttingthroughflamecut oroutof
square pipe ends.
Useadequatefeed,.003” to .006” (.08mm to.15mm)perrevolutionthereafter,to
establisha continuous chipcut.
Ifthefeed is too light,onlystringerchipswill be removed.
Ifthe feed istooheavy thedrivewillstart tooverloadand thechipwillstart tohave
