Do not reverse the drill motor direction and use it to
back the tool out of the pipe. Doing so could cause
the tools on the end of the boring bar to unscrew
and drop off.
B. Turn off the corporation stop and the Feed Tap™
can be removed by disassembling the corporation
adapter from the corporation stop valve.
C. Remove coupon from shell cutter.
• Remove the Coupon Retaining Pilot Drill Bit by
loosening the set screw.
• Use a screwdriver in the slot of the Shell Cutter to
remove the coupon if necessary.
WARNING: The coupon will not come off over the end of
the pilot drill bit. Doing so will damage the integrity of the
Bleed-Off
wire coupon retainer. The pilot drill must be removed in
Valve
order to remove the coupon from the tool. It is not recom-
mended to use a coupon retaining pilot drill that has signs
of damage.
D . Further disassemble the Feed Tap™ as needed to fit
in carrying case.
HELPFUL HINT:
A. If wobbling occurs while drilling:
1. Loosen the drill chuck from the shaft and
reconnect. Typically the chuck jaws are not aligned
with the shaft flats.
2. Replace shell cutter if wobbling continues.
NOTES:
• When removing the shell cutter from the boring bar, grip
onto the base of shell cutter with pliers. Gripping onto the
shell cutter in the middle of the body or near the cutting
end could distort it, causing it to work improperly.
• Do not use shell cutters or pilot drills that have missing,
worn or dull carbide.
