the machine and tube. This helps prevent non-oper-
ators from contacting the machine or tube and
reduces the risk of tipping or entanglement.

a proper operating position.
8. With the switch in the O-OFF position, run the cord
along a clear path. With dry hands, plug the power
cord into the properly grounded outlet. Keep all con-
nections 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 power tubing cut-
ter.
• Is rated for outdoor use.
• Has sufficient wire size. For extension cords up
to 50' (15.2 m) long use 14 AWG (2.5 mm
heavier. For extension cords 50'-100' (15.2 m -
30.5 m) long use 12 AWG (2.5 mm
9. Check the power tubing cutter for proper operation.
With hands clear:
• Move the speed switch to the I-LOW speed posi-
tion. Press and release the foot switch. The rollers
should rotate as indicated by the arrows in Figure 5.
If the machine does not rotate in the correct direc-
tion, or the foot switch does not control the machine
operation, do not use the machine until it has been
repaired.
• Depress and hold the foot switch. Inspect the mov-
ing parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or
any other unusual conditions. Remove foot from the
foot switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do
not use the machine until it has been repaired.
