I. Preparatory Work
1. Confirm the specifications and requirements of the copper tube to be reamed and select the appropriate reamer.
2. Clean and inspect the copper tube to ensure that the surface is smooth and free of pits, cracks, burrs, or other defects.
3. Prepare the necessary tools and auxiliary equipment, such as wrenches, lubricating oil, etc.
II. Operating Steps
1. Secure the copper tube on the workbench or clamp to ensure it is stable and does not slip.
2. Mark the location and requirements for enlarging the hole on the copper tube, such as diameter and depth.
3. Apply an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the hole enlarger and insert it into the opening of the copper tube.
4. Manually rotate the hole enlarger to gradually enlarge the diameter of the copper tube hole. You can change directions and rotate multiple times as needed.




5. Once the desired size and depth are achieved, use a wrench to unscrew the reamer counterclockwise.
6. Clean and inspect the copper tube, removing any excess debris or burrs.
III. Precautions
1. Maintain stability and safety during operation, ensuring personal and equipment safety.
2. Verify that the reamer and copper tube specifications match; never force the use of incompatible tools.
3. Apply force evenly during reaming to avoid expanding too much or too deeply at once.
4. Apply lubricant as needed during operation, but avoid excessive use.
5. After enlarging the hole, promptly clean and inspect the copper tube to ensure it meets requirements.
