Shank, for Nipple Max Chucks
For the standard thread head:
Lower the thread head and move the opening and
closing lever down towards you.
Turn T.O.R.-switch to "thread" and switch on the
machine with the pedal, turn the rotary handle
clockwise so that the thread jaws press on the
workpiece.
Release the rotary handle when two to three
threads have been cut.
With the machine running, slowly move the
opening and closing lever up when the required
number of threads has been cut, so as to end the
cutting process by slowly opening the thread jaws.
If the thread jaws are opened carelessly, steps can
be created in the last section of the thread, with the
result that the thread is faulty!
While threading, open die head before carriage
reaches full length of travel. If carriage strikes base,
excessive strain is put on the machine and damage
may result!
For the automatic thread head:
Two different thread length gauges are used on the
trigger for NPT and BSPT.
Do not lean over automatic opening die head as
opening lever could strike face when automatically
opened!
Install the die head on carriage pin and adjust the
proper size. Pull operating lever forward to cock
the spring loaded plunger.
Turn T.O.R.-switch to "thread" and switch on the
machine with the pedal, turn the rotary handle
counter-clockwise so that the thread jaws press
onto the workpiece.
