The employer is obliged to inform the operator of safety standards and, in addition, ensure that they
are complied with and make sure that the work area is large enough and well illuminated.
The term “operator” means the person who assembles, installs, operates, adjusts, maintains, cleans
and repairs the product.

have the whole manual read.
Caution:
The operator must always:

2.3 Safety equipment
Xpipe Beveler is equipped with safety covers to contain zones that could be dangerous for
operation. These covers are bolted to the construction or bolted with the product and the machine
frame. They can be removed with suitable tools. Their dismantling shall be permitted only during
the maintenance activities of the installation.

2.4 Residual risks
Xpipe Beveler was designed and manufactured with all equipment and fittings to ensure the health

The product is completely covered to keep the risk of contact with the moving parts
as minimised as possible.
However, there is a residual risk:
As mentioned above, the work zone is protected as much as possible, but must remain partially
open in order to load the material intended for machining.
It is therefore possible that the operator might insert fingers into this zone, where both the cutting
tool and the guide rulers are located.
Caution:
Always keep your hands as far away from the cutting zone as possible.
Caution:
Always apply the safety regulations contained in the manual to ensure that they are respected
and that any remaining risks are eliminated.
Caution:
Information labels with safety regulations and recommendations are placed on the machine.
Never remove these labels.

Xpipe Beveler is supplied as standard in a cardboard box and ready for instant use.
Choice of tool/milling head for working with Xpipe Beveler
The expected power unit of Xpipe Beveler, B10 Electra, B15 Electra or B15 AIR is always
delivered without a milling head.
It must be purchased separately (see the relevant instructions for machines B10 Electra, B15 Electra
or B15 AIR).
For use of B10 Electra, B15 Electra or B15 AIR with Xpipe Beveler, milling heads are available at
the angles of 30°, 45° and 60°.
If you use the B10 Electra, B15 Electra or B15 AIR alone, without Xpipe Beveler, the milling head
is attached vertically to the workpiece area. In this sense, the working angles of the milling heads
are marked.
