Beveller Safety

• Always wear appropriate eye protection and hearing
protection. Cutting tools can break or shatter. Cutting pro-
duces chips that can be thrown or fall into eyes. Cutting
produces high noise levels that over time can damage
your hearing.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equip-
ment. Face shields, long sleeves, safety shoes, hard
hat, and other equipment as appropriate will reduce the
risk of injury.
• Do not wear loose clothing when operating ma -
chine. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Do not
reach across machine. Clothing can be caught by the
machine resulting in entanglement.
• Keep bystanders clear of work area. Guard or bar-
ricade minimum of 6 feet (2 meter) around the work-
ing area. Chips or broken cutting tools can be thrown
and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation. A
guard or barricade that provides a clearance around the
work piece will reduce the risk of injury.
• One person must control the work process and the
beveller ON/OFF switch. Only the operator should be
in the work area when the machine is running. This
helps reduce the risk of injury.
• Properly support work piece and beveller. Make
sure the beveller is secure to the work piece. This
will reduce the risk of striking and crushing injuries
from tipping and falling pipe and equipment.
• Do not start the beveller with the cutter inserts
touching the work piece. Let the cutter head reach
full speed before carefully feeding it into the work
piece. The cutter may bind, walk or kickback if the tool
is started while in contact with the work piece.
• Keep hands away from rotating cutter head. Allow
parts to come to a complete stop before handling
the tool or pipe. This practice will reduce the chance
of entanglement in rotating parts.

• Do not use power tools such as a drill or impact to
drive the beveller. Only drive beveller by hand.
Use of power to drive the beveller can increase the risk
of injury.
• Avoid breathing of dust created from pipe bevel-
ling. Some dust created may contain chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other serious personal
injury. Consider the pipe material and coatings when
determining appropriate respiratory protection, includ-
ing things such as lead based paint.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work and the concen-
tration of dust. To reduce your exposure to these chem-
icals, work in a well ventilated area, and use respiratory
protection selected based on appropriate regulations
and standards, such as ANSI Z88.2 and OSHA.
• Do not modify beveller or use for any other pur-
pose. Other uses or modifying the beveller for other
applications may damage the tool, damage the attach-
ments and/or cause personal injury.
• 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.
