Milwaukee M18FTP2 18V Li-Ion RedLithium Brushless Cordless Hand-Held Pipe Threader Instruction Manual

Support device: always use the support device provided with the tool.

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

• a) Always use the support device provided with the tool. Loss of control during operation can result in personal injury.
• b) 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.
• c) 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.
• d) 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
• Only use:
  • Rems Quick change 1/8″ … 2″ (with adapter rings)
  • Rosenberger 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.

1. Remove battery pack.
2. Assemble the die heads/adaptors as shown
3. Always check the die head is locked into the tool before starting a cut.
4. 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, counterclokwise, 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 counterclokwise 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/counterclokwise selections.

Inspecting Threads/Using a Ring Gauge

1. Wipe any oil, chips or debris from the thread.
2. Inspect the thread. Threads should be smooth, complete, and in good form. If irregularities such as thread tearing, thin threads, or pipe cut-off roundness are seen, the thread may not seal.
3. 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.

Using the Control Switch

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, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before perfor- Replace the dies when they become chipped or damaged.
