WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PIPE THREADERS
- Always use the support device provided with the tool. Loss of control during operation can result in personal injury.
- Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned while operating the tool. Do not reach across the tool or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or the tool resulting in entanglement.
- Only one person must control the work process and tool operation. Additional people involved in the process may result in unintended operation and personal injury.
- Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
- When threading or backing die head off pipe, firmly hold the tool to resist forces regardless of support device used. This will reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries.
- Do not use dies that are showing signs of wear, dull, or damaged. Sharp cutting tools require less torque and the tool is easier to control.
- Only use:
- Rems Quick change 1/8″ … 2″ (with adapter rings)
- Rothenberger Die Heads 1/4″ … 2″ (with adapter rings)
- Ridgid 11-R 1/4″ … 2″ (with adapter rings)
- Ridgid 12-R
- Do not store die heads in tool to prevent metal on metal wear.
- Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.
- Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based paint
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This tool is specified for cutting pipe threads and bolt threads for right
and left hand threads up to 2“ size. Other uses not for the intended purpose
are prohibited.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Only use accessories specially recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
Installing / Removing Die Heads
Die head can be inserted from either side of the tool.
Die head/adaptor must be inserted from the correct side of the tool.
- Remove battery pack.
- Assemble the die heads/adaptors as shown
- Always check the die head is locked into the tool before starting a cut.
- To remove, unlock the die head lock ring and pull the die head from the tool.
OPERATION
Resisting Threading Forces
Always use the support device provided with the tool. The support arm clamps
to the pipe and helps to resist the threading forces.
WARNING! Loss of control during operation can result in personal injury.
Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the housing. Allow the tool to come to a
complete stop before changing speeds.
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: Clockwise, counterclockwise,
and lock. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the
control switch.
For clockwise rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the
tool. Check the direction of rotation before use. This rotation will produce
right-hand threads when the die is inserted from the left (front) side of the
tool.
For counterclockwise rotation, push in the control switch from the right side
of the tool. Check the direction of rotation before use. This rotation will
produce right-hand threads when the die is inserted from the right (back) side
of the tool.
Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before performing
maintenance, changing accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool is
not in use.
Threading
Properly prepare the pipe. Make sure the pipe is squarely cut and deburred.
Pipe cut at an angle can damage the dies while threading and can cause
difficulty engaging the die head. The pipe must be stable and secured to
prevent tipping during use. Use appropriate pipe stands to support pipe
length.
WARNING! Do not wear jewelry, loose fitting clothing, or use a rag while
operating tool. Do not wear gloves prone to snagging while pushing on or near
moving parts; this increases the risk of entanglement and injury. Once the
dies engage the pipe, threads will be cut as the dies pull themselves onto the
end of the pipe.
WARNING! Always firmly hold the tool to resist the tool forces. Support
devices could, in rare cases, slip and allow the tool to move.
Use an oiler to apply a generous quantity of thread-cutting oil to the area.
This will lower the necessary threading torque, improve thread quality, and
increase die life.
WARNING! Cuttings may be sharp. Clean up any oil spills to maintain a
safe work environment.
For Left-Handed Threads, reverse the clockwise/counterclockwise selections.
Inspecting Threads/Using a Ring Gauge
- Wipe any oil, chips or debris from the thread.
- Inspect the thread. Threads should be smooth, complete, and in good form. If irregularities such as thread tearing, thin threads, or pipe out- of roundness are seen, the thread may not seal.
- To check the size of the thread with a ring gauge, thread the gauge onto the pipe and hand-tighten. 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.
WARNING! Using a thread that does not gauge properly can cause leaks.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the appliance.
Never open the pipe threader, removable battery or charger.
Check the pipe threader for any problems such as noise or jamming of moving
parts that could be affecting the tool.
Check the cutting tools for cracks and other signs of wear.
Clean dust and debris from openings. Keep handle clean, dry and free of oil or
grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning
agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include gasoline, turpen-tine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Check that the dies are sharp and replace worn dies always as a complete set.
Replace the dies when they become chipped or damaged.
Always replace dies as a complete set.
To avoid injury and damage, never immerse the tool, removable battery or
charger in liquid or allow liquid to penetrate them.
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.

pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after
use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the
charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from
moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger
(short circuit risk).
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 2 seconds and then the tool will turn OFF.
