Safety Instructions for Transportable
Threading Machines
• Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such
as oil.­Slippery­floors­invite­accidents.
• Restrict access or barricade the area when work
piece extends beyond machine to provide a mini-
mum of one meter clearance from the work piece.
Restricting access or barricading the work area around
the work piece will reduce the risk of entanglement.
• Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by
the rotating pipe or machine parts leading to personal
injury.
• Do not use for other purposes such as drilling
holes or turning winches. Other uses or modifying
this machine for other applications may increase the
risk of serious injury.
• Secure machine to bench or stand. Support long
heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice will
prevent tipping.
• While operating the machine, stand on the side
where the operator controls are located. Operating
the machine from this side eliminates need to reach
over the machine.
• Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings.
Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or
screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come
to a complete stop before touching the pipe. This
practice will reduce the chance of entanglement in
rotating parts.
• Do not use this machine to install or remove
(make or break) fittings, it is not an intended use
4
of the machine. This practice could lead to trapping,
entanglement and loss of control.
• Keep covers in place. Do not operate the machine
with covers removed. Exposing moving parts in-
creases the probability of entanglement.
• Do not use this machine if the foot switch is
broken or missing. The foot switch provides safe
control of the machine, such as shut-off in case of
entanglement.
• One person must control the work process, ma-
chine operation and foot switch. Only the operator
should be in the work area when the machine is
running. This helps reduce the risk of injury.
• Never reach into the machine front chuck or
rear centering head. This will reduce the risk of
entanglement.
• 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.
