Assembly of the Chain Peeler

Connecting the roller wagons:
 Like shown in the picture, the single roller wagons with link pieces can be easily attached to
one another. Attaching the individual elements is only possible when inserting them at a cer-
tain angle. This prevents an unintentional falling apart of the assembled chain.

Peeling

3.3.1

Preparation: Cleaning and marking

Cleaning the pipe:
 Use a clean cloth free of dirt and grease to remove mud, sand and dirt from the surface you
want to peel. If necessary, additionally use certified pipe cleaner.
Mark the area you want to peel:
 Mark the insertion depth of the fitting resp. the area of contact of the saddle according to the
processing guidelines of the fitting manufacturer with a certified marker. The area to be
peeled should be marked with wave-like markings.
3.3.2

Installing and tensioning the Chain Peeler

Attention: The Chain Peeler always runs ahead of the knife.
When peeling pipe ends which have a smaller diameter than the rest of the pipe it can be nec-
essary to loosen the Chain Peeler and tighten it again. Due to the increasing diameter of the
pipe the tensioning of the Chain Peeler is sufficient for the smaller pipe end section but it can be
too tight when you leave the smaller pipe section during the process of peeling.
This results in a higher force needed for peeling. When you notice this loosen the Chain Peeler
and re-tighten it.
