2. GENERAL
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual was written for those persons responsible for the operation and care of the
RotaryPeeler.Itisexpectedandassumedthatsuchpersonshaveread,understoodandwillabideby
the manual in its entirety.
Only with the knowledge contained in this manual can faults on the Rotary Peeler be prevented and
trouble-free operation be ensured. It is therefore imperative that the responsible persons are familiar
with this manual.
We recommend that this manual be read carefully prior to putting the tool in operation, as we are not
liable for any damage or interruptions in operation resulting from failure to comply with this manual.
Should problems arise, please contact the nearest Georg Fischer representative (see back of this
manual).
This manual applies only to the Rotary Peeler.
We reserve the right to make the technical changes necessary to improve the Rotary Peeler which
may result in periodic changes to the illustrations and information contained in this manual. Contact
Georg Fischer Central Plastics LLC for the latest revision.
2.2 RANGE OF APPLICATION
TheRotaryPeelerRSshouldbeusedexclusivelyforuniversalpeelingatthepipeendforelectrofusion
couplings, tees and elbows and as well as for electrofusion saddles. Any other use is not authorized.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages resulting from unauthorized use; the user bears
sole responsibility.
2.3 FUNDAMENTAL TIPS
Electrofusion for PE pipes and PE fittings enables safe, efficient and economical installation of piping
systems.
Because of the high quality standards of our products, tools and resources, the joints are easy to
make.
However, careful preparation of the fusion surface is the absolute prerequisite and should not be
neglected!

2.3.1 General Tips for Preparation and Assembly of Fittings
• Fusion zones should be well protected from moisture during inclement weather (rain, snowfall
etc.).
The pipe should be cleaned of all debris before the Rotary Peeler. Use care to remove all embedded
debris from the pipe surface or damage to the blade can occur.
• The following scraping measurements should be maintained:
Pipe Size Minimum Chip Thickness Maximum Chip Thickness*
1 1/4 - 8 in.
> 8 in.
0.007 in.
0.007 in.
0.012 in.*

6. OPERATION
6.1 PREPARATION
Observe and follow all requirements for proper pipe preparation and assembly of fittings as required
by the electrofusion installation manual.

without cleaning the pipe could damage or dull the blade very quickly. A damaged or dull blade will
affect the peeling quality and could result in poor joint quality
