RIDGID B-500 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 11

1. Inspect and set up the RIDGID
Portable TRISTAND chain pipe vise as per its instruc-
tions. If desired, anchor the rear leg of the Portable
TRISTAND chain pipe vise for greater stability. Do not
anchor the front legs. Anchoring the front legs of the
stand can prevent slight stand movement needed
for good tracking.
2. Place the cylindrical body of the adapter in the V-jaw
of the vise as shown in Figure 8. Locate the key into
the slot of the vise jaw for proper positioning and
stability.

3 Place the vise chain over the body of the adapter
and securely tighten the chain to hold the adapter in
place.
4. Fully loosen the adapter hook knobs and move the
hooks outwards.
5. Securely grasp the beveller and place on the adapter
as shown in Figure 9.

6. Move the hooks over the beveller frame and secure-
ly tighten the knobs (Figure 9).

7 . Make sure the stand and equipment are stable.
8. Install the supplied 10" long ½" drive extension in the
Beveller drive shaft (see Figure 10).
9. When beveling pipe less than 12" (300 mm) long and
less than 50 pounds (22 kg), as long as the beveller
and Portable TRISTAND Pipe Vise are stable and
secure, no pipe stand is needed to support the pipe.
Pipe is placed directly on the drive roll and secured
with the guide rolls (Figure 10).

Pounds
If beveling pipe longer than 12" (300 mm) or more than
50 lbs (22 kg), the pipe must be supported with appro-
priate pipe stands to reduce the risk of the pipe and
equipment tipping and falling. Stands must be equip -
ped with rollers to allow the pipe to rotate while bevel-
ing. Improper pipe supports or supporting the pipe by
hand can cause tipping or falling pipe and equip-
ment.
Place the pipe stands in line with beveller drive roll.
Always use at least two pipe stands if possible. Pipe
upper inside diameter should be the same height or
up to 1 / " (3mm) higher than the upper edge of the
8
beveller drive roll prior to gripping (see Figure 11). Pipe
should be parallel to the beveller drive roll. Do not
place the inside diameter of the pipe lower than the
upper edge of the drive roll – this can decrease sta-
bility and tracking.
