Model 550 Tube Severing Tool
Disconnect power supply during setup and maintenance. Use all ‘Stop’ or Shut off’ features available when changing or adjusting tool bits, maintaining the tool, or when the tool is not in use.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before applying power to the equipment. Develop a habit of checking the tool before turning it on to make sure that all keys and wrenches have been removed.
Do not force tools. Tools and tool bits function better and safer when used at the feed and speed rate for which they were designed.
Do not reach into rotating equipment. Do not reach into the rotating head stock to clear chips, to make adjustments, or to check surface finish. A machine designed to cut steel will not stop for a hand or an arm.
Handle chips with care. Chips have very sharp edges and are hot. Do not try to pull chips apart with are hands; they are very tough.
Avoid unintentional starts. Do not carry or handle tools with your hand on the oper- ating switches or levers. Do not lay the tool down in a manner that will start the drive. Do not allow the tool to flip around or move when adjusting or changing tool bits.
Store idle tools properly. Disconnect tools from the power source and store in a safe place. Remove tool bits for safe handling of the tool.
