Threading Machine Safety Warnings

• Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such as
oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
• Restrict access or barricade the area from by-
standers when the workpiece extends beyond the
machine to provide a minimum of one meter (three
feet) clearance from the workpiece. Restrict ing ac -
cess or barricading the work area around the workpiece
will reduce the risk of entanglement.
• Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the
rotating pipe or machine parts leading to personal
injury.
• Do not use the machine for other purposes such as
drilling holes or turning winches. Other uses or
modifying this machine for other applications may
increase the risk of serious injury.
• Secure the machine to a bench or stand. Support
long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice
will prevent the machine from tipping.
• While operating the machine, stand on the side
where the operator control switch is located.
Operating the machine from this side eliminates need
to reach over the machine.
• Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings.
Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or
screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to
a complete stop before touching the pipe. This
4
practice will reduce the risk of entanglement in rotating
parts.
• Do not use this machine to install or remove (make
or break) fitting. This practice could lead to trapping,
entanglement and loss of control.
• Do not operate the machine without all covers
properly installed. Exposing moving parts increases
the probability of entanglement.
• Do not use this machine if the foot switch is bro-
ken or missing. The foot switch provides safe control
of the machine, such as emergency shutoff in case of
entanglement.
• One person must control the work process, ma -
chine operation and foot switch. Only the operator
should be in the work area when the machine is run-
ning. This helps reduce the risk of injury.
• Never reach into the machine front chuck or rear
centering head. This will reduce the risk of entan-
glement.
• Read and understand these instructions and the
instructions and warnings for all equipment and
materials being used before operating this tool to
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
