1. Move the REV/OFF/FOR switch to the FOR position.
2. Depress and release the foot switch to start the

Carriage Handwheel Adjustment

The 1224 carriage handwheel position can be adjusted for
better leverage.
1. Pull handwheel out from carriage.

2. Rotate the handwheel ¼ turn. The handle will auto-

6. Assume a proper operating position to help maintain
control of the machine and pipe (See Figure 18).
• Stand on the REV/OFF/FOR switch side of the
machine with convenient access to the tools and
switch.
• Be sure that you can control the foot switch. Do not
step on foot switch yet. In case of emergency, you
must be able to release the foot switch.
• Be sure that you have good balance and do not
have to overreach.

gauges, and their usage may differ from that shown

• Screw ring gauge onto the thread hand tight.
• Look at how far the pipe end extends through the
ring gage. The end of the pipe should be flush with
