The symmetry axis of the simplest Tomimatsu--Sato field is considered. Since this manifold is not geodesically complete for every value of the parameters occurring in the metric, a complete extension is given, and it is shown that its causal structure is very similar to that of the symmetry axis of the Kerr field.
