technician. The handles must be kept clean,
dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.

18. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities, contains chemicals known [to the State
of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or
other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

Operating Instructions
1. Assemble the Handle Rod parts and insert threaded
portion of Handle Tube into the Ratchet Holder.
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. 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 (see Figure A).
These measurements
should be equal.
Figure A
5. 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 (see Figure B).
Figure B
6. Fill an Oil Can with Thread Cutting Oil (not included).
Keep it nearby during the threading operation.
CAUTION: Make sure the pipe end and threads of the
Die are sufficiently oiled at all times. Otherwise, Die
life will be shortened and the threads will be rough.
7. Make sure that the pipe to be threaded
is properly secured in a vise.
8. While applying pressure to the end of the pipe,
use the Handle to rotate the Ratchet Holder
around the pipe to engage the Die with the pipe
end (see Figure C). Continue this operation
until the desired thread length is achieved.

9. To disengage the Die after threading is
complete, pull out the reversing Knob, turn it 180
degrees until the arrow points in the opposite
direction and drop it back into place. Use the
Handle to rotate the Ratchet Holder until the
Die disengages fully from the pipe end.
10. When sliding the pipe out of the Ratchet Holder,
be careful not to damage newly cut threads.

Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• cracked or broken parts, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. DURING USE, ensure that pipe end and
die threads are oiled with Thread Cutting Oil
(not included) at all times.
3. AFTER USE, wipe external surfaces
of the tool with clean cloth.
To replace the Die Blades
Worn Die Blades can result in poor thread
quality. When replacing Die Blades, verify that
the size of the new Die Blades corresponds to the
size of the Die. To replace the Die Blades:
1. Remove the four Screws on the Die.
2. Remove the Cover from the Die.
3. Remove all four Die Blades.
4. Insert four new Die Blades into the Die.
NOTE: When inserting the Die Blades, make sure the
cutting edges of the Die Blades face inward and that the
number on each Die Blade is at the top and in sequence.
5. Once the Die Blades are properly inserted,
replace the Cover and four Screws.
