Safety Information

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when using the reamer.
• Ensure the workpiece is stable and secure before deburring.
• Keep fingers and other body parts clear of the cutting blades during operation.
• Store the reamer in a safe place, away from children and unauthorized users.
• Inspect the reamer blades for damage or wear before each use. Do not use if blades are dull or broken.

Setup

The NAVAC NTR14 Reamer is designed for immediate use with minimal setup. Before first use, and periodically thereafter, inspect the tool for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects. Ensure the blades are clean and free of debris.

1. Unpack the reamer from its packaging.
2. Visually inspect the internal and external blades for sharpness and integrity.
3. Ensure the aluminum body is clean and provides a secure grip.

Operating Instructions

The NTR14 reamer is suitable for deburring copper tubing with outside diameters ranging from 1/8 inch to 1-1/2 inches.

Internal Deburring

1. After cutting the tube, identify the internal burr.
2. Insert the tapered end of the reamer into the end of the tube.
3. Apply light pressure and rotate the reamer clockwise or counter-clockwise within the tube.
4. Continue rotating until the internal burr is completely removed and the tube edge is smooth.
5. Remove the reamer and inspect the tube for a clean, burr-free internal edge.

External Deburring

1. Identify the external burr on the cut tube.
2. Place the tube end into the larger opening of the reamer, aligning the external burr with the outer cutting blades.
3. Apply light pressure and rotate the reamer around the tube, or rotate the tube within the reamer.
4. Continue rotating until the external burr is completely removed and the tube edge is smooth.
5. Remove the reamer and inspect the tube for a clean, burr-free external edge.

Always ensure all burrs are removed to prevent issues such as refrigerant leaks or restricted flow in HVAC/R systems.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the reamer blades to remove any metal shavings or debris. A soft brush or compressed air can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the tool's finish or blades.
• Storage: Store the reamer in a dry, clean environment to prevent corrosion. Keep it in its original packaging or a tool bag to protect the blades from damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the blades for signs of wear, dullness, or damage. While the blades are durable, excessive force or improper use can lead to premature wear.

Troubleshooting

Most issues with the NTR14 reamer are related to improper technique or blade condition.
