POWER REQUIREMENTS

DANGER

• To reduce the risk of
electric shock, check
the electrical source for
proper grounding.

• Before performing any
maintenance on the
tool, disconnect the
power cord from the
electrical source.

Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious personal injury.

POWER DRIVE REQUIREMENTS

The PC3110 tool is designed for operation
with a power drive. Read and understand the
operation of the power drive by referring to the
manual provided by the manufacturer.

Power must be supplied to the drive motor
through a safety foot switch to ensure safe
operation. Ensure that the power drive is
grounded properly in accordance with Article
250 of the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local electrical codes.

If an extension cord is required, refer to the
“Extension Cord Requirements” section that
follows for cord sizes.

EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS

When pre-wired outlets are not available and
an extension cord must be used, it is important
to use the proper cord size (i.e. Conductor Size
American Wire Gauge). Cord size selection is
based upon tool rating (amps) and cord length
(feet). Use of a cord size (gauge) thinner than
required will cause significant voltage drop
at the drive motor while the tool is operating.
Voltage drops may cause damage to the drive
motor and can result in improper tool operation.
NOTE: It is acceptable to use a cord size that is
thicker than required.

The required cord sizes for cord lengths up to
and including 100 ft /31 m are listed in the table
below. Use of extension cords longer than 100
ft/31 m must be avoided.

PIPE SETUP

For proper tool operation and production of pipe
ends that are within Victaulic specifications, the
following guidelines must be followed.

1. Victaulic requires square-cut pipe for use with
plain-end pipe products.

2. Raised external weld beads, seams, and
burrs must be ground flush with the pipe surface
2 inches/50 mm back from the pipe ends.

3. All coarse scale, dirt, and other foreign
material must be removed from the interior and
exterior surfaces of the pipe ends.

CAUTION

• For maximum tool life, remove foreign
material from the interior and exterior
surfaces of the pipe ends.

Foreign material may interfere with or
damage the tool, resulting in property
damage or personal injury.

4. Place pipe stands at locations appropriate for

the length of pipe to be cut.

NOTICE

• The pipe must extend a minimum of
5 inches/127 mm from the front of the
chuck for proper tool operation.

• When marking pipe long enough to
extend into the rear chuck of the power
drive, tighten the rear chuck to center the
pipe length.

• When marking pipe 3 feet/0.9 meters
or longer, a pipe stand must be used to
support the pipe.

5. Insert the pipe into the power drive and

tighten the chuck at the proper pipe length.

While holding the pipe with one hand, use the
other hand to firmly pull the power drive hand
wheel in a counterclockwise motion until the
chuck securely grips the pipe.
