SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN GENERAL
When using rotating head cutting equipment, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Operate this tool only in accordance with specific operating instructions.
Do not override the deadman switch on the power unit. Locking down, ob-
WARNING:
DRESS CONSIDERATIONS
structing, or in any way defeating the deadman switch on the power drive unit
may result in serious injury.
Model 224B ID Tracking Module
Use standard safety equipment. Hard hats, safety shoes, safety harnesses, protective clothes, and other safety devices should always be used when appropriate.
Use safety glasses. Do not operate cutting tools without eye protection.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in rotating and moving parts. Avoid slippery floors or wear nonskid footwear. If you have
long hair, wear protective hair covering to contain it.
WORK AREA
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider the work area environment. Keep the area well lit. Keep electrical cords,
cables, rags, rigging straps, and etc. clear of rotating equipment. Do not use powercutting tools in the presence of flammable liquids and gasses.
Keep visitors away. Do not let visitors or untrained personnel at or near operating
tools. Enforce eye protection requirements for all observers.
Do not over reach. Keep proper footing at all times.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tools
when you are tired.

TOOL CARE
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools in good operating condition. Sharp tool bits
perform better and safer than dull tool bits. Well maintained tools function properly
when needed.
Check for damaged parts. If a tool has malfunctioned, been dropped or hit, it must
be checked for damage. Run no-load tests and feed function checks. Do a complete visual inspection.
Electric motors. Use only with proper AC voltage power sources and observe all
normal electric shock hazard procedures.
Do not abuse power and control cords. Pulling or running over cords and cables
can result in electrical shock hazards and malfunctions. Keep control and power
cords out of all cutting fluids and water.
Hydraulic drives. Observe proper procedures for electrically driven power sources.
Avoid damage to hydraulic lines. Keep quick-disconnects clean. Grit contamination
causes malfunctions.
Air tools. Check the exhaust muffler. Broken or damaged mufflers can restrict air
flow or cause excessive noise. Use air motors only with a filtered, lubricated and
regulated air supply. Dirty air, low-pressure air or over pressure air will cause malfunctions, including delayed starting.
AREA EQUIPMENT
Secure work. Whenever possible use clamps, vises, chains and straps to secure
pipe.
Make sure the tool is secured; it is safer to have both hands free to operate the tool.
TOOL USE
Use the right tool and tool bit for the job. Do not use a tool, which is incorrect for the
job you are doing.
Keep the tool bits fully engaged in the tool bit holders. Loose bits are a safety hazard.

Model 224B ID Tracking Module
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 your hands; they are very tough.
Avoid unintentional starts. Do not carry or handle tools with your hand on the operating 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.

IN GENERAL
All components should be cleaned and coated with a light film of oil prior to use.
If the Model 224B- IDTM is operated in such a manner that the tool block collects debris
while cutting, the tool holder, lock block and the feed screws should be cleaned after
each cutting operation.
Use a clean, non-detergent oil, preferably SAE 10 (SSU or lighter).
Tool life may be severely shortened, unless chips and/or other debris that have
CAUTION:
been deposited on the cutting head during the machining operation are
removed.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Daily maintenance when the unit is in operation:
Wipe the unit down and spray with rust preventative under sever humidity
conditions.
Visually inspect for loose screws, missing screws, damaged, etc.
After every 20 hours of actual operation:
Clean and lubricate the slide rails.
Disassemble the unit and wipe the slide rails.
Excess lubricant will collect grit and/or chips and tend to cause jamming and/or
damage to the slide rails.
Model 224B ID Tracking Module
If the ID Tracking Module is to be stored or if it will remain out of service for a significant
period of time (30 days or more), it should be thoroughly cleaned, lubricated and
sprayed with a rust preventative prior to storage.

Model 224B ID Tracking Module
Rotate the 224B feed handle to position the tracking wheel fully engage inside of the
pipe.
NOTE:
Rotate the spring retracting cam to separate the tool module from the spring bracket.
Loosen the hold down screws while holding the tool module.
Position the module so that the tracing wheel is approximately 1/8” from the ID of the
pipe at the smallest point of the ID of the Pipe.
Take in consideration the out of roundness of the pipe to have enough travel in the
tracking slide to do the prep.
Secure the tool module by tightening all of the 6 hold down screws, including the 2
through the access holes into the front of the tool slide.
Rotate the spring drawrod nut until enough spring pressure is achieved, leaving enough
room between the coils for tracking travel.
CAUTION:
Make sure that there is enough feed travel left in the 224B to be able to prep the
pipe.
Do not tighten the spring to the point that it gets coil bound during the cutting
operation this could damage the tool.
Rotate the spring retracting cam to let the tracking wheel get into contact with the ID of
the pipe.
After the set up is accomplished, back off the end of the pipe a little by rotating the
224B feed handle counterclockwise.
Actuate the 224B drive motor slowly and observe the tracking wheel to make sure that it
stays in contact with the ID of the pipe all the way around.
Rotate the feed handle slowly clockwise and start the cutting operation.
When you have achieved a full continuous cut and a consistent land, stop rotating the
224B feed handle.
Let the 224B rotate a few revolutions to release the chip at a very slow speed
(1 to 2 rpm), this will insure a smooth finish.
Rotate the feed handle counterclockwise to back off the tool bits from the prep while the
machine is rotating but do not let the tracking wheel get off the end of the pipe.
