GETTING READY / OPERATION GUIDE
How to adjust the thread cutting size
The standard die head is suitable for three pipe sizes: 15A, 20A, 25A.
For 15A and 20A pipes, put dies notch A (black) on the respective
die head over the eccentric position pin (black).
For 25A, put dies notch B (silver) on the 25A die head over the
eccentric position pin (silver). (You will need to change dies.)
Replacing the dies
Since 15A, 20A and 25A each have different thread pitches, the
dies need to be changed accordingly.
When replacing the dies, please follow the instructions below.
(1) After opening the die head (i.e. with the open lever removed
from the groove on the block and the dies in the open position)
remove the size setting lever from the size setting pin.
(2) Turn the cam plate handle in the direction of the arrow: dies
No.3 and No.4 can then be removed.
(3) Raise the die head and remove dies No.1 and No.2.
