Adjusting the thread outside diameter
For a given diameter, the markers above the diameter indication enable to increase the thread
outside diameter; the markers below the diameter indication enable to reduce the thread outside
diameter:
Note: Carry out tests to determine the best setting.
Tighten the cam retaining lever again by turning it anticlockwise.
Adjusting the thread length
The thread length is adjusted by changing the position of the finger which controls the retraction of
the dies.
Note: While cutting the thread, you can open the head by operating the lever.
Loosen the screw located at the bottom and behind the die retraction lever (6mm Allen key):
Position the required line opposite the marker (the leftmost line gives the greatest thread
length and the rightmost line gives the shortest thread length).
