Hold the workpiece on the clamping chuck side (8) securely with your right hand and gradually tighten it with
the clamping chuck.
Ensure that the three clamping jaws are in contact with the workpiece.
If the three clamping jaws are not in contact with the workpiece, it will wobble and neither cutting nor thread-
tapping can be performed correctly.
Clamp the workpiece securely and tighten it very firmly.

Cutting the workpiece with the pipe cutter (1)
Do not touch the cutting surface with bare hands, because it is hot and has sharp edges!
Risk of injury and burning!
If the handle of the pipe cutter (1) is turned with force, the cutting surface of the pipe takes an oval
shape, which makes correct thread-tapping impossible. Therefore, move the handle of the pipe cutter
half a turn per whole pipe rotation!
