WARNING
To prevent serious injury, inspect your Threading
Machine. The following inspection procedures
should be performed on a daily basis:
1. Make sure threading machine is unplugged and the
control switch is set to the OFF position (Figure 7).
2. Clean the chuck jaws with a wire brush.
3. Inspect the jaws for excessive wear or damaged
teeth. Refer to the Maintenance Instructions if they
need to be replaced.
4. Make sure the foot switch is present and attached to
the Threading Machine (Figure 7).
WARNING
Do not operate the Threading Machine
without a foot switch.
5. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the
plug has been modified, is missing the grounding

6. Inspect the Threading Machine for any broken, miss-
ing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any other
conditions which may affect the safe and normal op-
eration of the machine. If any of these conditions
are present, do not use the Threading Machine until
any problem has been repaired.
7. Lubricate the Threading Machine if necessary ac-
cording to the Maintenance Instructions.
8. Use tools and accessories that are designed for your
Threading Machine and meet the needs of your ap-
plication. The correct tools and accessories allow
you to do the job successfully and safely. Accessories
designed for use with other equipment may be haz-
ardous when used with this Threading Machine.
9. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all handles and con-
trols. This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool or
control slipping from your grip.
10. Inspect the cutting edges of your tools and dies. If
necessary, have them replaced prior to using the
Threading Machine. Dull or damaged cutting tools
and dies can lead to binding, tool breakage and poor
quality threads.
