• FOLLOW SAFE PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING LUBRICANTS. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and the Mate-rial Safety Data Sheets.

Safe Operating Environment

• Do not use this equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Fire or explosion could result, with the risk of serious injury or death.

• Provide adequate lighting to use the equipment, in accordance with worksite or local regulations.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR. Keep all clutter and nonessen-tial materials out of the work area. Only people directly involved with the work being performed should have access to the area.

Operating and Maintenance Safety

• This equipment is to be operated and maintained only by qualified, trained personnel.

• Make sure the equipment is stable when attached to the workpiece for the operation. Ensuring stability of the installed tool is the responsibility of the operator.

• Make sure the workpiece is supported adequately for installation of the equipment. This includes supporting any workpiece “fall-off” section when severing the workpiece. Ensuring support of the workpiece is the responsibility of the operator.

• Tooling on any cutting equipment—including lathe tools, saw blades, milling tools, etc.—may get very hot. Do not touch tooling until you have made sure it is cool enough to handle.


Chapter 2, About the Large LCSF O.D. Tracking Slides: Safe Operating Guidelines

• Wear gloves when removing or cleaning up chips and cutting debris. Chips can be very sharp and cause cuts.

• Before performing any service on the equipment, dis-connect the power source. Follow all lock-out/tag-out procedures required at the worksite.

Safety Alerts in This ManualThe following alerts are used throughout this manual to indicate operator safety hazards. In all cases, these alerts include a notice describing the hazard and the means to avoid or reduce risk. Carefully read all safety alerts.

This icon is displayed with any safety alert that indicates a personal injury hazard.

WARNINGThis safety alert, with the personal injury hazard symbol, indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTIONThis safety alert, with the personal injury hazard symbol, indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

Protective Equipment Requirements

Protective Clothing

Wear safety shoes when operating or servicing the equip-ment. Serious injury could result from dropping the machine or its components.



Gloves should be worn when cleaning up chips and other cutting debris. Chips can be very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Do not wear gloves when the machine is operating.

Do not wear gloves while operating the machine. Gloves can become entangled in moving parts, resulting in serious injury. Gloves may be worn when setting up the machine or cleaning up after the operation, but take them off when operating the machine.

• The LCSF and O.D. tracking slides should only be used by trained, qualified operators.

• The workpiece must be within the operating capacity of the O.D. tracking slides and LCSF model you are using. See operating envelope information and drawings in Chapter 1.

• Make sure the operating environment allows you to mount the machine securely and squarely on the work-piece.

• Make sure there is adequate clearance around workpiece and the LCSF/O.D. tracking slide combination to oper-ate the machine controls as described in the operating instructions.

Misuse

• Do not attempt to mount or operate the LCSF and O.D. tracking slides on non-cylindrical workpieces.

• Do not attempt to mount or operate the LCSF and O.D. tracking slides on any workpiece to which the equip-ment cannot be securely mounted.

• Do not attempt to mount or operate the LCSF and O.D. tracking slides on any workpiece that is not stable enough to hold the equipment.

• Do not disable any safety feature of theO.D. tracking slides or LCSF, or remove any safety labeling. Replace worn or damaged safety labels immediately. (See “Safety Labels” later in this chapter.)



Potential Hazards

See the “Potential Hazards” section in Chapter 2 of the user’s manual for your low clearance split frame machine. Follow all guidelines for avoiding hazards associated with operating the machine.

O.D. Tracking Slide Safety Features

The large O.D. tracking slides include a guard to cover the pinch point between the support plate and the tracking bar end plate. Do not operate the slides without this guard installed. If you need to remove the guard for service, make sure the springs are released, and make sure to re-install the guard before operation.

Figure 2-1. The O.D. tracking slides have a guard to keep fingers out of the pinch point at the end of the slide.

Safe Lifting and Handling

• Machines or assemblies over 40 lb (18 kg) must be lifted by two people or a lifting device. The large O.D. tracking slides weigh 42 lb (19 kg) each.

• It is the responsibility of the end user to determine whether a machine or assembly can be lifted by two or more people. A lifting device is recommended for machines or assemblies that cannot be handled easily by two people.

Guard


Chapter 2, About the Large LCSF O.D. Tracking Slides: Safety Labels

• It is not recommended that you lift the LCSF with the O.D. tracking slides attached. The assembled combina-tion may not be balanced to enable safe lifting.

SAFETY LABELS

The safety labels below are attached to the O.D. tracking slide and trip assembly. Do not remove the labels. If a label is lost or damaged, order a replacement label from E.H. Wachs; see ordering instructions in Chapter 5.

Figure 2-2. The weight label is attached to each O.D. tracking slide (part no. 60-1276-00).

Figure 2-3. The Moving Parts warning label is on the trip assembly (part no. 03-113-04).





Chapter 3

Operating Instructions

Before setting up the tracking slides, install your low clear-ance split frame according to the instructions in your split frame manual. The low clearance tracking slides fit within the clearance required for the split frame.

If the pipe you are cutting has an exposed outer seam, you will get better cutting peformance if you grind the seam down where the LCSF is mounted.

INSTALLING THE TRIP

1. Locate the trip installation location on the stationary ring. There are three holes; the center hole is threaded.

Figure 3-1. There are two dowel pin holes and one threaded hole at the trip location.

OPERATION



2. Align the trip assembly so that the dowel pins fit into the two unthreaded holes in the split frame.

3. Insert the screw into the center hold and tighten it securely.

SLIDE SET-UP FOR CUTTING AND BEVELING

1. Using a 1-1/8” wrench or socket, turn the feed screw on the back of the slide until there is a 1/4” gap between the guide bar mount and the spring retainer.

Figure 3-2. Preset the slide so there is a 1/4” gap between the guide bar mounts and the spring retain-ers.

2. Using a 3/4” wrench, turn the spring tension bolt on the slide until there is a 3/8” gap between the hex head and the support plate.

Chapter 3, About the Large LCSF O.D. Tracking Slides: Slide Set-Up for Cutting and Beveling

Figure 3-3. Set the spring tension bolt to a 3/8” gap from the support plate.

IMPORTANT: If the wheel does not extend beyond the base, the base may contact the pipe surface during cutting. Machine dam-age may result.

3. The tracking wheel will now extend about 1/8” past the base of the slide.

Figure 3-4. Check that the tracking wheel extends at least 1/8” past the slide base.

4. Repeat the previous steps for the other slide.

NOTE: Check to make sure the parting

tool does not extend past the tracking wheel.

5. Insert the parting tool into the parting slide. Extend the tool out of the holder until the tip of it is about 1/8” back from the tracking wheel. Tighten the screws on the tool holder plate.

NOTE: Check to make sure the beveling tool does not extend past the tracking wheel.

6. Insert the beveling tool into the beveling slide. Extend the tool until the tip of it is about 1/8” back from the tracking wheel. Tighten the screws on the tool holder plate.

7. Position the slide mounting blocks for both slides on the split frame rotating ring and insert the mounting bolts, as shown in Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-5. Install the slide mounting blocks on the rotating ring. Leave the mounting bolts loose. (If there is more distance between the LCSF and the pipe, move the blocks to the forward position.)

NOTE: Do not tighten the mounting bolts yet. You will tighten them when you finish positioning the slide.

8. Mount both slides onto the rotating ring by sliding the base plate into the channels on the undersides of the slide mounting blocks. Move the slide forward until the tracking wheel contacts the pipe. Snug the mount-ing bolts just tight enough to keep the slide from mov-ing freely.


Chapter 3, About the Large LCSF O.D. Tracking Slides: Slide Set-Up for Cutting and Beveling

Figure 3-6. Slide the base plate of the tool slide into the channels of the slide mounting blocks until the tracking wheel touches the pipe surface.

9. If necessary, connect the drive motor to the LCSF.

NOTE: Make sure the bolts on the slide

mounting blocks are just snug, allowing the slides to move as the LCSF rotates.

10. Slowly rotate the LCSF one complete rotation around the pipe. As the tracking wheel follows the pipe sur-face, the slide is pushed back to find the “high point” on the pipe.

11. Securely tighten the bolts on the slide mounting blocks (30-40 lb-ft).

12. Retract the spring tensioning bolts on both slides all the way to load tension onto the springs.

13. Turn the feed screw on both slides to position both tools about 1/16” from the pipe surface.

14. Slowly rotate the LCSF to make sure there is clear-ance between the tool and pipe all the way around.

15. Move the split frame to position the star wheel over the trip. NOTE: You will have to use the motor drive to turn the rotating ring.

16. Loosen the position adjustment screw on the trip.



Figure 3-7. Loosen the position adjustment screw to adjust the trip radially.

17. Position the trip mount so that the star wheel strikes the center of the trip, as shown in Figure 3-8. Tighten the position adjustment screw.

Figure 3-8. The trip mount should be positioned so that the contact points of the star wheel strike the cen-ter of the trip.

Chapter 3, About the Large LCSF O.D. Tracking Slides: Slide Set-Up for Offset Cutting

SLIDE SET-UP FOR OFFSET CUTTING

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the split frame with a single parting tool only. A beveling tool or second parting tool is required to keep the parting tool from binding in the cutting groove.

Follow the same procedure as the previous section for installing both slides. When you set up the beveling slide, insert a parting tool instead of a beveling tool.

The beveling slide is designed to hold a parting tool with a 1/16” offset from the tool in the parting slide. This will result in a cut 1/16” wider than the cut made by a single parting tool.

OPERATION

NOTE: If the beveling blade contacts the

pipe before the parting blade, stop the machine and adjust the slides.

1. After you have installed the tracking slides, operate the split frame in the standard way as described in your manual.

2. When you start the machine, check to make sure that the star wheel on each slide feeds exactly one position per revolution. If the star wheel “double trips”, stop the machine and correct the problem as follows:

• Double-tripping can be caused by over-tightening the LCSF mounting legs near the trip. Slightly loosen the mounting leg nearest the trip and run the machine again.

• If the star wheel still double-trips, remove the trip and insert a thin shim washer between the trip base and the LCSF.

IMPORTANT: Watch the tracking wheels to make sure that they stay clear of chips.

3. If you are operating with the split frame horizontal (cutting a vertical pipe), you may have to clear chips from the tracking wheels. Use compressed air to blow the chips out as the slides pass, or stop the machine and brush the chips out of the wheel assembly.

4. When the cut is finished, stop the LCSF.

5. Using a 1-1/8” wrench or socket, retract the feed nut on each slide until there is a 1/4” gap between the guide bar mounts and the spring retainers.



Figure 3-9. Reset the slide to a 1/4” gap between the guide bar mounts and the spring retainers.

6. Using a 3/4” wrench, turn the spring tension bolt on the slide to reset the 3/8” gap between the hex head and the support plate.

Figure 3-10. Reset the spring tension bolt to a 3/8” gap from the support plate.

7. Loosen the bolts on the slide mounting blocks and remove the slides from the LCSF.
