Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect power drive and correct
any problems to reduce the risk of serious injury
from electric shock, crushing injuries and other
causes and prevent power drive damage.
1. Make sure that the power drive is unplugged.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the power drive and
support device, including the handles and controls.
This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or
control from slipping from your grip.
3. Inspect the power drive and support arm for the fol-
lowing:
• Damage or modification to the cord and plug.
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Damaged, misaligned or binding parts.
• Proper operation of two-step momentary contact
ON/OFF switch (Figure 5) .
• Support arm gripping teeth are clean and in good
condition. Teeth can be cleaned with a wire brush.
• Presence and readability of the warning label.
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and nor-
mal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the power
drive or support device until the problems have been
repaired.

4. Inspect the cutting edges of the dies for wear, defor-
mation, chips or other issues. Dull or damaged cutting
tools increase the amount of force required, produce
poor quality threads and increase the risk of injury.
5. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being
used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning
properly.
6. Following the Set Up and Operation instructions,
check the power drive for proper operation.
• Move the F/R (Forward/Reverse) switch to the F
position. Depress and release the ON/OFF switch
(Figure 5) . Confirm that the power drive rotates in
the clockwise direction (see Figure 6) and stops
when releasing the switch.
• Repeat the process for the REVERSE (counter-
clockwise) operation. If the power drive does not
rotate in the correct direction, or the ON/OFF switch
does not control the machine operation, do not use
the machine until it has been repaired.
Change position of the F/R slide switch only
NOTICE
when the ON/OFF trigger switch is released. Allow the
power drive to come to a complete stop before reversing
the direction with the F/R slide switch. This will reduce the
risk of power drive damage.
• Depress and hold the ON/OFF switch. Inspect the
moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises
or any other unusual conditions. Release the ON/OFF
switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do not
use the machine until it has been repaired.
