SAFETY ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Electric Shock can injure or kill. Saddle machine operation and many cutting processes use or produce high voltage electrical energy. This electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the work place. Never touch any parts that are electrically “live”...

HOT MATERIALS The process of plasma cutting creates an arc of electricity that can be up to 45,000°F (25,000°C). Oxygen-fuel cutting flame can be up to 6,330°F (3,500°C). As a result, cut materials will be very hot after cutting. Use extreme care when handling recently cut materials.

GENERAL INFORMATION The 5SA Saddle Machine is designed to rotate a 1 3/8”/35mm diameter 12” long oxy/fuel or plasma machine torch to cut and/or bevel 24”/ 610mm, 26”/ 660.4mm, 28”/ 711.2mm and 30”/ 762mm horizontal nominal size API line pipe.
Saddle (Figure 4 Item 1). In order to get a stable installation of the 5SA Saddle Machine, the Spring Snap (Figure 2 Item 4) of the Boomer Assembly (Figure 2) must be adjusted on the Chain (Figure 2 item 3) so that the spring (Figure 2 Item 2) is stretched approximately 1/2"...

Picture 4 – Installation of the Wing Nut Remove the Clamp from the (Figure 3 Item 3) from the torch Carrier Assembly (Fig. 3, Item B). Place the Torch Carrier Assembly (Figure 3 item B) on the Torch Arm (Figure 3 item A) with hole for Torch of the Torch Clamp (Figure 3 Item 2) nearest the Ring Gear (Figure 4 item 3).
While rotating the machine torch around the pipe, move the cutting oxygen valve to the ON position to penetrate the pipe per the torch manufacturer’s instructions (if using the Plasma Machine torch, activate per the torch manufacturer instructions). NOTE: If the torch penetrates the pipe without the machine being rotated it will create a notch in the bevel that is unacceptable to most welding codes.
NOTE: If using a plasma torch system, connect the plasma cable between the Motor Control Box and the plasma torch system in the same manner. Verify the cable lock feature is engaged at both ends. Make sure the Plasma Switch is in the “Off” position. Connect the Motor Control Box power cable to the AC electrical receptacle.
NOTE: If the torch penetrates the pipe without the machine being rotated it will create a notch in the bevel that is unacceptable to most welding codes. WARNING: Keep hands and clothing away from the gearing as it will cause serious injury. 7.25 Adjust the torch travel speed with Speed Control Switch until a quality cut is achieved.
