9. When hand threading, your weight should be above
the handle ensuring maximum leverage. If possible, do
not do all the work with you arms; use your weight. Do
not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance to
maintain better control.
Do not slide a pipe or "cheater" over the
WARNING
handle to gain extra leverage. This practice can result in
serious injury.
NOTE! When using the 65-R Threader with the 300

Oil when threading (Figure 6) . Use of a lubricating oil
or a poor thread cutting oil can result in a poor quality
cut thread, leaky joints, short die life and high handle
forces.

kick out and disengage the ratchet action when the
thread is complete.

lever to "OPEN" and spin threader back to the "STAN-
DARD" position. Loosen clamp screw or locking cam

Remove by turning the release lever to "OPEN" posi-

pulling threader straight off pipe. Maintain close control
of the threader so the threads are not damaged.
Spinning the threader back to the "STANDARD" posi-
tion is not required.
NOTE! Clean any oil spill or splatter that is on the ground.
At the end of each job, always clean your threader
and store in a clean dry area to protect against
damage.

CAUTION Failure to replace complete die set may
result in poor thread quality and leaky joints.
