arm (8) back up the ladder (1) until the undercarriage wheels are
touching against the inner wall of the pipe, now screw in wing nut
(11) until the wheels on the undercarriage (7) are firmly in contact
with the pipe wall.
7. Slowly rotate the scraper around the pipe 2 or 3 times to ensure that
it is positioned correctly adjusting the underarm clamping screw (11)
to ensure a secure but at the same time ease of rotation.

the cutter tip up, this also applies pressure via the tool tip spring.
Release the tool post adjustment nut (5) and slide the tool post (3)
down until the cutter is approximately 1mm from the pipe wall
surface, now retighten the tool post adjustment nut (5) to fix the
tool post in its correct operating position.

cutter on to the pipe wall surface and the correct pressure will be
applied to the tip (6) via the tool tip spring.
