NOTE! 20 amp circuits with good line voltage and mini- mal extension cords will allow threading 2″ pipe at 45 RPM. If the machine stalls due to low volt- age, complete the thread at 16 RPM. On 15 amp circuits, 11/2″ – 2″ pipe must be threaded at 16 RPM.

NOTE! Failure to select proper speed may result in motor stalling under low voltage conditions.

5.Turn carriage handwheel to bring dies against end of pipe. Slight pressure on handwheel will start dies (Figure 10).

6.Self-Opening 815A Die Head (Figure 11) – When die head trigger contacts end of pipe, throwout lever is automatically opened.

NOTE! For 1/2″ to 2″ pipe, die head will open automati- cally when proper length of thread has been cut. For 1/8″, 1/4″ and 3/8″ pipe, die head must be opened manually.

Quick-Opening 811A Die Head (Figure 12) – When the end of pipe being threaded is flush with the end of the Number 1 die, rotate throwout lever to OPEN position, retracting dies.

Semi-Automatic Die Head (Figure 13) – When the end of the pipe being threaded is flush with the end of the Number 1 Die, hit the handle to release the dies from the pipe.

7. Turn carriage handwheel to back die head off pipe.
