General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
• Keep children and by-standers away while operating a power. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
2
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
mod ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodi -
fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo -
ment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the OFF-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch
ON invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it
ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s op er ation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. The use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Service
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force power tool. Use the correct power tool
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Pre-Operation Inspection
WARNING
Before each use, inspect your threading machine
and correct any problems to reduce the risk of
serious injury from electric shock, crushing injuries
and other causes, and to help prevent threading
machine damage.
1. Make sure that the threading machine is unplugged
and the REV/OFF/FWD switch is in OFF position.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the threading
machine, including the handles and controls. This
aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or
control from slipping from your grip. Clean and maintain the machine per the maintenance instructions.
3. Inspect the threading machines for the following:
• Condition of the cords and plug for damage or
modification.
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding
parts or other damage.
• Confirm that the REV/OFF/FWD switch is in good
condition and cycles smoothly.
• Presence and readability of warning labels (Fi -
gures 1 & 2).
• Condition of the dies, cutter wheel and reamer cut-
ting edges. Dull or damaged cutting tools increase
required force, produce poor results and increase
the risk of injury.
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and
normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the threading
machine until the problems have been repaired.
4. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being
used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning
properly.
Machine and Work Area Set-Up
WARNING
Set up the Threading Machine and the work area
according to these procedures to reduce the risk of
injury from electric shock, machine tipping, entanglement, crushing and other causes, and to help prevent threading machine damage.
Restrict access or barricade the area when work
piece extends beyond machine to provide a minimum of one meter clearance from the work piece.
Restricting access or barricading the work area
around the work piece will reduce the risk of
entanglement.
Secure machine to stable stand or bench. Properly
support pipe. This will reduce the risk of falling
pipe, tipping and serious injury.
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
If present, do not work in area until source is identified, removed or corrected, and area is completely
ventilated. The threading machine is not explosion
proof and can cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable, dry location for all equipment
and operator.
• Good ventilation. Do not use extensively in small,
enclosed areas.
• Properly grounded electrical outlet of the correct
voltage. Check the machine serial plate for required
voltage. A three-prong or GFCI outlet may not be
properly grounded. If in doubt, have outlet inspected by a licensed electrician.
2. Inspect the pipe to be threaded and associated fittings. Determine the correct equipment for the job, see
specifications. Do not use to thread anything other
than straight stock. Do not thread pipe with fittings or
other attachments. This increases the risk of entanglement.
3. Transport equipment to work area. See Preparing
Machine for Transport for information.
4. Confirm equipment to be used has been properly
inspected and assembled.
5. Confirm that the REV/OFF/FWD switch is in the OFF
position.
7
300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines
6. Check that the correct dies are in the die head and
are properly set. If needed, install and/or adjust the
dies in the die head. See Die Head Set-Up and Use
section for details.
7. Swing the cutter, reamer and die head away up
away from the operator. Make sure they are stable
and will not fall in the work area.
8. If pipe will extend past the chip tray in the front of the
machine or more than 2' (0.6 m) out of the rear of the
machine, use pipe stands to support the pipe and prevent the pipe and threading machine from tipping or
falling. Place the pipe stands in line with machine
chucks, approximately 1/3of distance from end of the
pipe to the machine. Longer pipe may need more
than one pipe stand. Only use pipe stands designed
for this purpose. Improper pipe supports or supporting the pipe by hand can cause tipping or entanglement injuries.
9. Restrict access or set-up guards or barricades to
create a minimum of 3' (1 m) clearance around the
threading machine and pipe. This helps prevent nonoperators from contacting the machine or pipe and
reduces the risk of tipping or entanglement.
the switch to the OFF position. Repeat for REV
position – chuck should rotate clockwise. If the
threading machine does not rotate in the correct
direction do not use the machine until it has been
repaired.
• Move the switch to the FWD position. Inspect the
moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises
or any other unusual conditions. Move the switch to
the OFF position. If any unusual conditions are
found, do not use the machine until it has been
repaired.
• Place die head in the use position. Move the switch
to the FWD position. Check for oil flow through
the die head. Move the switch to the OFF position.
The oil flow can be adjusted with the control valve
on carriage (Figure 5). Clockwise rotation decreas-
es flow and counterclockwise increases flow. Do not
adjust while the machine is running.

10. Check the level of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil. Re move the chip tray and oil pan liner; see that the filter
screen assembly is fully submerged in oil. See Oil
System Maintenance. If the machine is equipped
with the drip tray, make sure it properly placed to
direct oil dripping off the die head into the chip tray
(see Figure 5).
11. With the REV/OFF/FWD switch in OFF position, run
the cord along a clear path. With dry hands, plug
the power cord into the properly grounded outlet.
Keep all connections dry and off the ground. If the
power cord is not long enough use an extension
cord that:
• Is in good condition.
• Has a three-prong plug like on the threading
machine.
• Is rated for outdoor use and contains a W or W-A in
the cord designation (e.g. SOW).
• Has sufficient wire size. For extension cords up to
50' (15.2 m) long use 14 AWG (2.5 mm2) or heavier.
For extension cords 50'-100' (15.2 m - 30.5 m) long
use 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) or heavier.
12. Check the threading machine for proper operation.
With hands clear:
• Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD posi-
tion. Chuck should rotate counter-clockwise when
viewed from the carriage end (see Figure 23). Move

Operating Instructions
Do not use this machine to make or break (tighten
or loosen) fittings. This can cause striking or crushing injuries.
One person must control the work process and
machine operation. Only the operator should be in
the work area when the machine is running. This
helps reduce the risk of injury.
Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of
injury from entanglement, striking, crushing and
other causes.
1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly set
up and that the work area is free of bystanders and
other distractions. The operator should be the only
person in the area while the machine is operated.
The cutter, reamer and die head should be up away
from the operator, do not place in the operating position. Make sure they are stable and will not fall. Fully
open the chucks of the threading machine.
2. Insert pipe shorter than 2' (0,6 m) from the front of the
machine. Insert longer pipes through either end so
that the longer section extends out beyond the rear of
the Threading Machine. Confirm that pipe stands
are properly placed.
3. If needed, mark the pipe. Place pipe so that the area
to be cut or end to be reamed or threaded is approximately 4" (100 mm) from the front of the chuck. If closer, the carriage may strike the machine during the
threading and damage the machine.
WARNING
Operate the machine from the operator control
(switch) side. Be sure you can control the switch at
all times. Operating the machine from the switch
side improves control and eliminates need to reach
over the machine. Switch control helps to reduce
the risk of serious injury.
Do not leave machine running unattended. Place
switch in OFF position when plugging in and not in
use to reduce the risk of entanglement.
Do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves
and jackets buttoned. Loose clothing can become
entangled in rotating parts and cause crushing and
striking injuries.
Keep hands away from rotating pipe and parts.
Stop the machine before wiping threads or screwing on fittings. Do not reach across the machine or
pipe. To prevent entanglement, crushing or striking
injuries, allow machine to come to a complete stop
before touching the pipe or machine chucks.
Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by
the rotating pipe or machine parts leading to personal injury.
4. Turn the rear centering device counterclockwise
(viewed from rear of machine) to close down onto
pipe. Make sure that the pipe is centered in the inserts.
This improves pipe support and gives better results.

Figure 20 – Chucking Pipe
Open
5. Turn the front chuck handwheel counterclockwise
(viewed from front of machine) to close down onto
pipe. Make sure that the pipe is centered in the inserts.
12
300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines
Use repeated and forceful counterclockwise spins of
the handwheel to secure the pipe in front chuck.
6. Assume a proper operating position to help maintain
control of the machine and pipe (See Figure 21).
• Stand on the REV/OFF/FWD switch side of the
machine with convenient access to the tools and
switch. Be sure you can control the switch at all
times. Do not turn the machine ON yet.
• Be sure that you have good balance and do not
have to overreach.
Cutting
1. Open cutter by turning the feed screw counterclockwise. Lower the cutter into cutting position over the
pipe. Use the carriage handwheel to move the cutter
over the area to be cut, and align the cutter wheel with
the mark on the pipe. Cutting threaded or damaged
sections of pipe can damage the cutter wheel.
2. Tighten the cutter feed screw handle to bring the
cutter wheel firmly in contact with the pipe while
keeping the cutter wheel aligned with the mark on the
pipe.
3. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD position.
4. With both hands, grasp the pipe cutter feed handle.
5. Tighten the feed screw handle one-half turn per rotation of the pipe until the pipe is cut. More aggressive
tightening of the handle reduces cutter wheel life
and increases pipe burr formation. Do not support the
pipe by hand. Let the cut off piece be supported by
the threading machine carriage and pipe stand.
Figure 21 – Operating Position
Figure 22 – Cutting Pipe with Cutter
6. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position.
7. Raise cutter into position up away from operator.
Reaming
1. Move the reamer into reaming position. Make sure
that it is securely positioned to prevent it from moving
during use.
2. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD position.
3. With both hands, grasp the carriage handwheel.
4. Turn carriage handwheel to move the reamer to the
end of the pipe. Apply slight pressure to the handwheel to feed the reamer into pipe to remove the
burr as desired.

handwheel to start the die head onto the pipe. Once
the die head starts threading the pipe, no more force
is required on the carriage handwheel.
6. Keep your hands away from the rotating pipe. Make
sure the carriage does not hit the machine. When the
thread is complete, open the die head. Do not run
machine in Reverse (REV) with dies engaged.
7. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position.
8. Turn the carriage handwheel to move the die head
past the end of the pipe. Raise the die head into
position up away from the operator.
Figure 23 – Reaming Pipe with Reamer, Machine Rotation
5. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position.
6. Move the reamer up away from the operator.
Threading Pipe
Due to differing pipe characteristics, a test thread should
always be performed before the first thread of the day or
when changing pipe size, schedule or material.
1. Lower the die head into the threading position. Con firm that the dies are correct for the pipe being threaded and properly set. See the “Die Head Set-Up and
Use” section for information on changing and adjusting dies.
9. Remove the pipe from the machine and inspect the
thread. Do not use the machine to tighten or loosen fittings on the thread.
Threading Bar Stock/Bolt Threading
Bolt threading is similar to the pipe threading process. The
stock diameter should never exceed the thread major
diameter.
When cutting bolt threads, the correct dies and die head
must be used. Bolt threads may be cut as long as needed, but make sure the carriage does not hit the machine.
If long threads are required:
1. At the end of carriage travel, leave the die head
closed, and move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the
OFF position.
2. Open the chuck and move the carriage and workpiece
to the end of the machine.
3. Re-chuck the rod and continue threading.
Left Hand Threading
Cutting left hand threads is similar to the right hand
threading process. Left hand threading is possible with 300
Compact threading machine with REV/OFF/FWD switch
only. To cut left hand threads, left hand die heads and dies
are required.
Figure 24 – Threading Pipe (811-A Quick Opening Die
Head shown)
2. Close the die head.
3. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD position.
4. With both hands, grasp the carriage handwheel.
Confirm cutting oil flow through the die head.
5. Turn carriage handwheel to move the die head to the
end of the pipe (Figure 24). Apply slight force to the

Removing Pipe from the Machine
1. With the REV/OFF/FWD switch in the OFF position
and the pipe stationary, use repeated and forceful
clockwise spins of the handwheel to loosen the pipe
in the chuck. Open the front chuck and the rear-centering device. Do not reach into chuck or centering
device.
2. Firmly grip the pipe and remove from the machine.
Carefully handle the pipe as the thread may still be hot
and there may be burrs or sharp edges.
Inspecting Threads
1. After removing the pipe from the machine, clean the
thread.
2. Visually inspect thread. Threads should be smooth
and complete, with good form. If issues such as
thread tearing, waviness, thin threads, or pipe out-ofroundness are found, the thread may not seal. Refer
to the Troubleshooting Chart for help in diagnosing
these issues.
3. Inspect the size of the thread.
• The preferred method of checking thread size is
with a ring gauge. There are various styles of ring
gauges, and their usage may differ from that shown
here.
• Screw ring gauge onto the thread hand tight.
• Look at how far the pipe end extends through the
ring gage. The end of the pipe should be flush with
the side of the gauge plus or minus one turn. If
thread does not gauge properly, cut off the thread,
adjust the die head and cut another thread. Using a
thread that does not gauge properly can cause
leaks.

Figure 27 – Checking Thread Size
15
300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines
• If a ring gauge is not available to inspect thread
size, it is possible to use a new clean fitting representative of those used on the job to gauge thread
size. For 2" and under NPT threads, the threads
should be cut to obtain 4 to 5 turns to hand tight
engagement with the fitting and for BSPT it should
be 3 turns. For 21/2" to 3" NPT threads the hand tight
engagement should be 5.5 to 6 threads, and for
BSPT it should be 4 threads.
4. See “Adjusting Thread Size” under “Die Head Set-
Up and Use” heading to adjust thread size.
5. Test the piping system in accordance with local codes
and normal practice.
Preparing Machine for Transport
1. Make sure that the REV/OFF/FWD switch is in the
OFF position and the cord is unplugged from the
outlet.
2. Clean the chips and other debris from the chip tray.
Remove or secure all equipment and material from
the machine and stand prior to moving to prevent
falling or tipping. Clean up any oil or debris on the
floor.
If the jaw inserts do not grip and need to be cleaned, use
a wire brush to remove any build up of pipe scale, etc.
Lubrication
On a monthly basis (or more often if needed) lubricate all
exposed moving parts (such as carriage rails, cutter
wheels and rollers, cutter feed screw, jaw inserts and
pivot points) with a light lubricating oil. Wipe any excess oil
from exposed surfaces.
Clean the lubrication points to remove dirt and prevent
contamination of the oil or grease. Lubricate on a monthly basis.
300 Compact: Use a grease gun to add a Lithium EP
(Extreme Pressure) grease through the grease fittings in
the lubrication points.
1233: Fill the lubrication points with lubricating oil. Press
the ball in the lubrication point to allow the oil to reach
bearings.
3. Place the cutter, reamer and die head in the operating position.
4. Coil up the power cord.
5. If needed, remove the machine from the stand. Use
proper lifting techniques, be aware of the machine
weight. Machine is equipped with four hand grips at
corners. Use care in lifting and moving.

AVERTISSEMENT
Familiarisez-vous avec l’ensemble des consignes
de sécurité, consignes d’utilisation, illustrations et
caractéristiques techniques ci-présentes afin
d’éviter les risques de choc électrique, d’incendie
et/ou de grave blessure corporelle.
Conservez l’ensemble des consignes de
sécurité et d’utilisation pour future référence!
Le terme « appareil électrique » utilisé dans les consignes de sécurité vise à la fois les appareils électriques
sur secteur et les appareils à piles.
Sécurité du chantier
• Assurez-vous de la propreté et du bon éclairage
des lieux. Les chantiers encombrés ou mal éclairés
sont une invitation aux accidents.
• N’utilisez pas d’appareils électriques en présence
de substances volatiles telles que liquides, gaz ou
poussières combustibles. Ce type de matériel risque
de produire des étincelles susceptibles d’enflammer les
poussières et émanations combustibles.
• Eloignez les enfants et les curieux durant l’utili -
sation des appareils électriques. Les fiches et prises
électriques non modifiées limitent les risques de choc
électrique.
Sécurité électrique
• La fiche de l’appareil doit correspondre à la prise de
courant utilisée. Ne jamais tenter de modifier la
fiche d’une manière quelconque. Ne jamais utiliser
d’adaptateur de prise sur les appareils équipés
d’une fiche avec terre. Les fiches et prises électriques
non modifiées limitent les risques de choc électrique.
• Evitez tout contact avec des objets reliés à la terre
tels que canalisations, radiateurs, cuisinières et ré frigérateurs. Tout contact avec la terre augmenterait
les risques de choc électrique.
• N’exposez pas les appareils électriques aux intem-
péries. La moindre pénétration d’eau à l’intérieur de
ces appareils augmenterait les risques de choc électrique.
• Ne maltraitez pas le cordon d’alimentation de l’ap -
pareil. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour porter,
23
Fileteuses 300 Compact et 1233
tirer ou débrancher l’appareil. Eloignez le cordon
de la chaleur, des matières grasses, des objets
tranchants et des mécanismes. Les cordons d’ali -
men tation endommagés ou entortillés augmentent
les risques de choc électrique.
• Lors de l’utilisation de l’appareil à l’extérieur, pré -
voyez une rallonge électrique homologuée pour ce
type d’emploi. Ce type de rallonge limitera les risques
de choc électrique.
• S’il est inévitable d’utiliser l’appareil dans des
endroits humides, prévoyez une source d’alimen tation protégée par disjoncteur différentiel. La
présence d’un disjoncteur différentiel limitera les
risques de choc électrique.
Sécurité individuelle
• Soyez attentif, restez concentré et faites preuve
de bon sens lors de l’utilisation de ce type d’ap pareil. Ne jamais utiliser ce matériel lorsque vous
êtes fatigué ou sous l’influence de drogues, de
l’alcool ou de médicaments. Lors de l’utilisation d’un
appareil électrique, un instant d’inattention risque
d’entraîner de graves lésions corporelles.
• Prévoyez les équipements de protection indivi -
duelle appropriés. Portez systématiquement une
protection oculaire. Selon le cas, le port d’un masque
à poussière, de chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, du casque ou d’une protection auriculaire
peut aider à limiter les risques de lésion corporelle.
• Evitez les risques de démarrage accidentel de
l’appareil. Assurez-vous que son interrupteur
marche/arrêt se trouve en position « arrêt » avant
de le brancher, d’y installer un bloc-piles ou de le
manipuler. Porter un appareil électrique avec son
doigt sur la gâchette, ou bien brancher un appareil
électrique lorsque son interrupteur est en position
« marche », serait une invitation aux accidents.
• Retirez toute clé ou dispositif de réglage éventuel
avant de mettre l’appareil en marche. Maintenez
une bonne assiette et un bon équilibre à tout
moment. Une clé ou tout autre dispositif de réglage
engagé sur un élément mécanique pourrait provoquer un accident.
• Ne vous mettez pas en porte-à-faux. Maintenez
une bonne assiette et un bon équilibre à tout
moment. Cela assurera un meilleur contrôle de
l’appareil en cas d’imprévu.
• Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez
pas de vêtements trop amples ou de bijoux.
Eloignez vos cheveux et vos vêtements des mé -
canis mes lorsque l’appareil fonctionne. Les vête-
ments amples, les bijoux et les cheveux longs risquent
d’être entraînés par les mécanismes en rotation.
• Lorsque l’appareil est pourvu d’un système de
récupération de poussière, s’assurer que le système est correctement connecté et utilisé. Les
systèmes de récupération de poussière peuvent limiter
les risques associés à l’inhalation des poussières.
• Ne laissez pas votre familiarité avec un appareil se
développer en complaisance vis-à-vis des règles
de sécurité applicables. La moindre inattention peut
occasionner un accident grave en un clin d’œil.
Utilisation et entretien de l’appareil
• Ne pas forcer l’appareil. Prévoyez l’appareil le
mieux adapté aux travaux envisagés. Un appareil
adapté produira de meilleurs résultats et un meilleur
niveau de sécurité lorsqu’il fonctionne au régime prévu.
• Ne pas utiliser d’appareil dont l’interrupteur mar -
che/ arrêt ne fonctionne pas correctement. Tout
appareil qui ne peut pas être contrôlé par son interrupteur est considéré dangereux et doit être réparé.
• Débrancher l’appareil ou retirez son bloc-piles
avant tout réglage, remplacement d’outils ou stockage. De telles mesures préventives aideront à limiter
les risques de démarrage accidentel de l’appareil.
• Ranger tout appareil non utilisé hors de la portée
des enfants. L’utilisation de cet appareil doit être
strictement réservé à du personnel compétent
disposant d’une formation adéquate. Ce type
d’appareil peut devenir dangereux entre les mains
d’un novice.
• Assurer l’entretien approprié de l’appareil. S’as -
surer de l’absence d’éléments grippés ou endommagés, voire toute autre anomalie susceptible de
nuire au bon fonctionnement et à la sécurité de
l’appareil. Ne pas utiliser d’appareil endommage
avant sa réparation. De nombreux accidents sont
le résultat d’appareils mal entretenus.
• Assurer l’affutage et la propreté des outils de
coupe. Des outils de coupe correctement entretenus
et affutés sont moins susceptibles de se gripper et sont
plus faciles à contrôler.
• Assurer la parfaite propreté de toutes surfaces
manipulables. Lorsqu’ils sont encrassés, les leviers et
autres points de prise en main peuvent nuire à la
sécurité d’utilisation de l’appareil en cas d’imprévu.
• Utiliser l’appareil, ses accessoires et ses outils de
coupe selon les consignes ci-présentes, tout en
24
Fileteuses 300 Compact et 1233
tenant compte des conditions de travail et d’exé cution envisagées. Toute déviation de l’emploi prévu
pour cet appareil électrique augmenterait les risques
d’accident grave.
Service après-vente
• Confiez la révision de votre appareil électrique à un
réparateur qualifié utilisant exclusivement des
pièces de rechange identiques. Cela assurera la
sécurité opérationnelle de l’appareil.
Consignes de sécurité
spécifiques
AVERTISSEMENT
La section suivante contient d’importantes consignes de sécurité visant ce type d’appareil en
particulier.
Afin de limiter les risques de choc électrique et
autres lésions corporelles graves, familiarisezvous avec celles-ci avant d’utiliser les fileteuses

Sécurité des fileteuses transportables
Cette fileteuse n’est pas équipée de pédale de commande. La présence d’une pédale de commande est
obligatoire sur certains marchés, notamment ceux des
Etats-Unis, du Canada, de l’Australie, de l’Union
Européenne, de la Russie, de la Turquie et de l’Arabie
Saoudite. Ne jamais utiliser de machine sans pédale de
commande lorsque la présence de celle-ci fait partie des
normes en vigueur. Les pédales de commande assurent
non-seulement une meilleure fonctionnalité, mais aussi
une meilleure sécurité. Toute pédale de commande obligatoire doit être reliée directement à la machine.
• Nettoyez les sols de la zone de travail. Les sols glis-
sants sont une invitation aux accidents.
• Assurez un périmètre de sécurité d’un mètre au tour
de la zone de travail dès que l’ouvrage dépasse le
gabarit de la machine. Une barrière ou barricade
périmétrique positionnée au-delà de l’ouvrage limitera
les risques d’enchevêtrement.
• Ne portez pas de gants. Les gants risquent de
s’entortiller autour du tuyau ou des mécanismes et
provoquer de graves blessures.
• Ne pas l’utiliser cette machine à d’autres fins, tel
que pour le perçage de trous ou l’entraînement
de treuils. L’application non prévue ou la modification
de cette machine augmenterait les risques d’accident
grave.
• Cette machine est prévue pour effectuer la coupe,
l’alésage et le filetage des tuyaux selon les instructions ci-présentes. Elle ne doit pas être utilisée avec
des appareils nécessitant une pédale de commande,
tels que les fileteuses démultipliées et les rainureuses
à galets.
• Arrimez la machine à un banc ou support. Soute nez
les tuyaux de grande longueur à l’aide de portetubes. Cela limitera les risques de renversement de
l’ensemble.
• En cours d’opération, tenez-vous du côté de l’in -
terrup teur de la machine afin de pouvoir y accéder
à tout moment. Cela vous permettra de mieux con-
trôler l’opération et ce, sans avoir à vous pencher de
l’autre côté de la machine. L’interrupteur aide à limiter
les risques d’accident grave.
• Ne pas laisser la machine tourner sans supervi-
sion. Afin de limiter les risques d’enchevêtrement,
mettez son interrupteur en position « OFF » avant
de vous en éloigner.
• Eloignez vos mains des tuyaux et raccords en
rotation. Eteignez la machine avant d’essuyer ou
de visser les raccords. Attendez que la machine
soit complètement arrêtée avant de manipuler le
tuyau. Ceci limitera les risques d’enchevêtrement
dans les mécanismes rotatifs.
• Ne pas utiliser cette machine pour le montage ou
démontage forcé des raccords. Cette machine
n’est pas prévue pour ça. Une telle pratique pourrait
entraîner le blocage, l’enchevêtrement et la perte de
contrôle de la machine.
• Assurez-vous de la présence des carters de pro-
tection de la machine. Ne jamais utiliser cette
machine sans ses carters de protection. L’ex posi -
tion de ses mécanismes augmenterait la probabilité
d’enchevêtrement.
• Un seul individu doit se charger à la fois du fonc-
tionnement de la machine et du processus en
cours. Seul cet opérateur doit se trouver dans la zone
de travail lorsque la machine tourne. Cela aidera à
limiter les risques d’accident.
• Ne jamais mettre les mains dans le mandrin avant
ou le mandrin de centrage de la machine. Cela
augmenterait les risques d’enchevêtrement.
• Avant d’utiliser cet appareil, et afin de limiter les
risques d’accident grave, familiarisez-vous avec
