Reaming Pipe with No. 334 Reamer
1.With cutter and die head in their UP position, swing reamer into its operating position (Figure 9).
2.Check the ON/OFF switch to insure it is in the ON po- sition. Depress and hold the foot switch down.
3.Feed the carriage handwheel towards the pipe (Figure 9).
4.With slight handwheel pressure, feed reamer into pipe to achieve desired ream.
5.Release foot switch and return the reamer to its UP position.
Threading Pipe with No. 610 Die Head
NOTE! The 610 or 610A Die Head is designed for use ONLY with the 1210 Threading Machine. These die heads are NOT compatible with any other RIDGID threading equipment. No other RIDGID die heads will fit on the Model 1210 Threading Machine.
1.Check to insure the cutter and reamer are to the rear of the carriage (Figure 10).
2.Lower die head into threading position.
3.Check that the proper size dies are in the die head. Distinct die sets are required for 1/2″ – 3/4″ and 1″ pipe diameters.
4.Set die head to proper size and rotate throwout lever to CLOSED position.
NOTE! Refer to the section on the 610 Die Head for in- structions on changing dies and adjusting for proper size.
5.With the control switch in the ON position, step on foot switch and feed the carriage handwheel to- wards the pipe. Slight pressure on the handwheel will start dies.
NOTE! Coolant flow will begin automatically during threading. COOLANT FLOW WILL BE CON- TINUOUS STREAM OF DROPS! In addition to producing better quality threads, coolant will cool the workpiece through evaporation.
6.When thread is complete, rotate throwout lever to OPEN position, retracting dies.
7.Remove foot from foot switch.
8.Check the thread length and depth (Figure 18).
NOTE! Slight die head depth adjustment may be nec- essary due to variations in the pipe fittings.
