Opening The Die Head At The End Of The Thread; Operating Instructions - RIDGID 1224 Bedienungsanleitung

1224 Threading Machine

Opening the Die Head at the End of the Thread

• Tapered threads: at the end of the thread the spherical
surface on the cam locking plate will move off of the
sine bar, opening the die head.
• Straight threads: thread the desired length and open
the die head manually by depressing the release han-
dle – watch closely for any interference between parts.

operating Instructions

do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves
and jackets buttoned. Loose clothing can become
entangled in rotating parts and cause crushing and
striking injuries.
Keep hands away from rotating pipe and parts.
Stop the machine before wiping threads or screwing
on fittings. do not reach across the machine or
pipe. To prevent entanglement, crushing or striking
injuries, allow machine to come to a complete stop
before touching the pipe or machine chucks.
do not use this machine to make or break (tighten
or loosen) fittings. This can cause striking or crush-
ing injuries.
do not use a threading machine without a properly
operating foot switch. Never block a foot switch in
the oN position so that it does not control the
threading machine. A foot switch provides better
control by letting you shut off the machine motor by
removing your foot. If entanglement should occur
and power is maintained to the motor, you will be
pulled into the machine. This machine has high
torque and can cause clothing to bind around your
arm or other body parts with enough force to crush
or break bones or cause striking or other injuries.
one person must control both the work process and
the foot switch. do not operate with more than
one person. In case of entanglement, the operator
must be in control of the foot switch.
Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of
injury from entanglement, striking, crushing and
other causes.
1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly set
up and that the work area is free of bystanders and
other distractions. The operator should be the only
person in the area while the machine is operated.
The cutter, reamer and die head should be up away
from the operator, do not place in the operating posi-
tion. Make sure they are stable and will not fall. Fully
open the chucks of the threading machine.

WARNING
2. Insert pipe shorter than 2' (0,6 m) from the front of the
machine. Insert longer pipes through either end so
that the longer section extends out beyond the rear of
the Threading Machine. Confirm that pipe stands
are properly placed.
3. If needed, mark the pipe. Place pipe so that the area
to be cut or end to be reamed or threaded is approx-
imately 6" (150 mm) from the front of the chuck. If clos-
er, the carriage may strike the machine during the
threading and damage the machine.
4. Turn the rear centering device clockwise (viewed
from rear of machine) to close down onto pipe. Make
sure that the pipe is centered in the inserts. This
improves pipe support and gives better results.
5. Turn the front chuck handwheel counterclockwise
(viewed from front of machine) to close down onto
pipe. Make sure that the pipe is centered in the inserts.
Use repeated and forceful counterclockwise spins of
the handwheel to secure the pipe in front chuck.
