To prevent serious injury, inspect your Power Drive. The following inspection procedures should be per- formed on a daily basis:
1.Make sure Power Drive is unplugged.
2.Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the plug has been modified, is missing the grounding pin, or if the cord is damaged, do not use the Power Drive until the cord has been replaced.
3.Inspect the Power Drive for any broken, missing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any other con- ditions which may affect the safe and normal opera- tion of the tool. If any of these conditions are present, do not use the Power Drive until the condition has been repaired.
4.Lubricate the Power Drive if necessary according to the Maintenance Instructions.
5.Use tools and accessories that are designed for your Power Drive and meet the needs of your application. The correct tools and accessories allow you to do the job successfully and safely. Accessories suitable for use with other equipment may be hazardous when used with this Power Drive.
6.Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment han- dles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool or control slipping from your grip.
7.Inspect the cutting edges of your dies. If necessary, have them replaced prior to using the Power Drive. Dull or damaged dies can lead to poor quality threads.
8.Clean metal shavings and other debris from the chip tray of the 418 Oiler. Check the level and quality of the thread cutting oil. Replace or add oil if necessary.
NOTE! Thread cutting oil lubricates and cools the threads during the threading operation. A dirty or poor grade cutting oil can result in poor thread quality and increased threading torque.
To prevent serious injury, proper
1.Locate a work area that has the following:
•Adequate lighting
•No flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
•Grounded electrical outlet
•Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or moving parts that may damage electrical cord.
•Dry place for operator. Do not use the Power Drive while standing in water.
•Level ground for tristand vise and pipe stands.
2.Clean up the work area prior to setting up any equip- ment. Always wipe up any oil that may have splashed or dripped from the oiler to prevent slips and falls.
3.Plug the Power Drive into the electrical outlet making sure to position the power cord along the clear path selected earlier. If the power cord does not reach the outlet, use an extension cord in good condition.
WARNING To avoid electrical shock and electrical fires, never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not meet the following requirements:
•The cord has a
•The cord is rated as “W” or
•The cord has sufficient wire thickness (14 AWG below 25′/12 AWG 25′ - 50′). If the wire thickness is too small, the cord may overheat, melting the cord’s insulation or causing nearby objects to ignite.
WARNING To reduce risk of electrical shock, keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.
4.Check the Power Drive to insure it is operating prop- erly.
•Depress the switch and make sure it controls the stopping of the Power Drive by releasing the switch.
