HOW TO SET UP THE TUBE CLEANER
I - Use an air line lubricator to operate tool with a fine mist of oil.
2 - Connect 1/2" air hose to lubricator and blow out hose.
3 - Connect 1/2" air hose to pistol grip tube cleaner handle, Turn on air and
run motor. At this point turn off the air in line to prevent accidental starting of tool.
4 - Connect 3/8" scavenging hose to source and flush out line to prevent any foreign
matter from entering the sealing area and damaging the seal.
5 - Now connect the hose to scavenging inlet in the motor body. The motor is now
ready to be coupled to the shaft support and drill shaft.
6 - Select the proper size shaft and assemble with the shaft support, the shaft end hav-
ing the tapered male thread fits into the shaft support having a tapered female
thread.
7 - Attach the adapter for the cutter bit or brush.
8 - Attach the cutter bit or brush to adapter.
9 - Attach this assembly to the rotor. The assembled unit is now ready for operation.
HOW TO OPERATE THE TUBE CLEANER
1 - Insert the cutter bit with scavenging agent turned on into the tube end depress trig-
ger.
2 - Feed the cutter bit into the deposit by pushing forward on the handle. The rate at
which the cutter bit is fed through the tube can best be determined by the operator's
judgment, based on his experience with the first few tubes. If the deposit is light or
very soft, it may be possible to clean the tube with a constant forward motion. If the
tube is plugged with a deposit that is not too hard, but is readily broken down by the
cutter bit, it is preferable to withdraw the cutter bit a few inches occasionally to give
the scavenging agent which flows down through the center of the shaft a chance to
clear the cutter and remove the debris which may accumulate in the tube behind the
cutter bit. With very hard deposits, more rapid cleaning can be obtained by a con-
stant back and forth motion which jars the cutter bit up against the deposits to be
removed.
3 - Care should be exercised when handling the smaller sizes of shafting. The smaller
shafting can not be subjected to as much force as the larger diameter shafting.
