Operation of the thread-tapping machine
5.1
Clamping the workpieces
The tool carriage can make contact with the frame before the tapping process has ended and the
clamping chuck and the machine can be damaged as a result!
A clearance of at least 70 mm must therefore be maintained between the thread cut on the workpiece
and the clamping chuck!
Move the pipe cutter (1) and the thread-tapping head up so that they are not in the way and position the
internal deburrer (3) on the rear side.
Insert the workpiece from the centring chuck side (7) and tighten the centring chuck.

In the case of long or heavy pipes, it is essential to use the pipe support Art. No. 5.6047 in order to
prevent the workpiece wobbling or twisting while it is being turned and to prevent the machine from
tipping over due to the weight of the workpiece! Otherwise, the workpiece and the machine can
become unstable. Make safe the danger area as described in Chapter 4.3!
