Peeling The Pipe - Rothenberger Roscraper 800 Bedienungsanleitung

Spring wagon not tightened
Note: The indicator pin gives you information about the tension in the Chain Peeler. Depending
on the pipe dimension, it can become necessary to apply lesser or more tension, so the indicator
is retracted or protruded a little more.
Excessive tightening may damage the Chain Peeler. If you tension the Chain Peeler too much,
the indicator pin can slip from its guidance bore and become lost.
Indicator on the blade holder:
The blade holder also features an indicator pin. When the tensioning force is increased it will
protrude on the upper side.
Blade holder free of tension
Note: Always make sure that the blade holder is not fully compressed. Only then the spring in
the blade holder will push the peeler blade forcefully enough against the pipe surface to peel flat
spots.

Peeling the pipe

Clamping and fixing the pipe:
 Fix or clamp the pipe before you begin peeling it to improve the peeling result and prevent
accidents.
Beginning the peeling procedure:
 When you are finished with tensioning, after having checked both indicator pins while ten-
sioning, you can begin with the peeling procedure.
 Begin peeling by pulling the Chain Peeler around the pipe. The Chain Peeler has its own
feeding. Do not tilt the chain. Your position should ideally be 90° to the pipe so that no axial
forces influence the set feed of the tool.
When peeling position yourself directly in front of the Chain Peeler and pull on the
handles. If you stand to the side of the chain and pull it, a reliable and precise feed
cannot be guaranteed!
Observe the peel width:
 After the first rotation, check if the peel width measures about 2/3 max. of the blade width. If
the peel width is larger or considerably smaller, the feed must be readjusted. See chapter
„Adjusting the feed".
 Pull the Chain Peeler around the pipe until the blade reaches the end of the marked area.
Note: In case of an insufficient peeling the feed has to be checked and readjusted or the blade
has to be replaced. In consideration of the processing guidelines of the fitting manufacturer and
the tolerances specified therein (max. gap between pipe and fitting) the pipe may be peeled a
second time.
