Cutting Tool Operating Instructions

Portable Bearing Cutting Tool Instructions

1. Separate cutter by unscrewing locking nut ⁽¹⁾ and removing washer ⁽²⁾ and locating cap ⁽³⁾.
2. Insert connecting ⁽⁵⁾ shaft through bearing bore ⁽⁴⁾ and reassemble tightening locking nut ⁽¹⁾
3. Holding pressure nut ⁽¹²⁾ tighten clamp nut all the way down.
4. Turn pressure nut ⁽¹²⁾ until teeth exert light pressure on bearing lip.
5. Turn cutter ⁽⁷⁾ until rotating freely (at least one full turn clockwise) and then tighten pressure nut ⁽¹²⁾ 1/8 turn while holding clamp nut ⁽¹³⁾. Note: Use pin type spanner wrench to turn cutter.  The wave spring ⁽¹¹⁾ will insure that the cutter maintains constant pressure.
6. Repeat step 5 until cutter has creased bearing lip.  Pressure may be increased by turning pressure nut ⁽¹²⁾ clockwise and holding clamp nut ⁽¹³⁾ or by turning clamp nut counter clockwise and holding the pressure nut. Note:   Cutter will bottom out when sleeve flange ⁽⁶⁾ meets connecting flange ⁽⁵⁾.  It is not necessary to cut to this depth but teeth are dimension to not cut into housing.
7. Remove tool by unscrewing locking nut ⁽¹⁾ and removing washer ⁽²⁾ and locating cap ⁽³⁾ and disassembling shaft through bearing.
8. Push bearing out of housing using ASIR tool.
