Preparation for Pipe Threading
1. Assemble the Handle parts (18 and 20) and insert threaded portion of Handle (18) into
Ratchet Holder (8).
2. Determine the size of the pipe to be threaded.
3. Pick the appropriate die to be used. Die sizes are stamped on the outside of each die.
4. Insert the die into the Ratchet Holder. It is a force fitting, and once the die is in the Ratchet
Holder, it may require light tapping with a wooden mallet to remove the die.
5. Have an oil can available to be used during the threading operation.
6. The pipe to be threaded must be properly secured during the threading operation.
7. To reverse the threading direction, pull out the reversing knob, turn it 180 degrees until the
arrow points in the opposite direction and drop it back into place.
Operation
Now that the proper die is installed, you are ready to attach
the Ratchet Holder to the pipe, and begin cutting threads.
1. Place the rear of the die over the end of the pipe to be
threaded. Verify that the inside diameter of the die
matches the outside diameter of the pipe.
2. Make sure that the pipe to be threaded is properly
held in place.

Operation (continued)
Caution: Make sure the pipe end and threads of the die are suffi-
ciently oiled at all times. Otherwise, die life will be shortened and
the threads will be rough.
3. While applying pressure to the end of the pipe, begin rotating the Handle around the pipe
to engage the die to the pipe end. Continue this operation until the desired thread length
is achieved.
4. To disengage the Ratchet Holder after threading is complete, follow steps discussed in #7
on prior page to reverse the direction, and then rotate the Handle until the die is disen-
gaged from the pipe end.
5. When sliding the pipe out of the Ratchet Holder, be careful not to damage newly cut
threads.
Maintenance
1. Clean the Pipe Threading tool after each use. Clean dies after each use. Check for bro-
ken teeth or pipe material between teeth.
2. When not in use, store all parts in the case, and store the case in a dry location.
