6.Remove old dies.

7.Insert new dies to line, making sure die number matches slot number on die head. Dies will engage ball detente in die head slot when properly inserted.

8.Rotate head in counterclockwise direction and engage toggle knob on desired size block.

NOTE! If oversize or undersize threads are required, adjust size blocks by loosening allen screw (Figure 16).

Checking Thread Length

(Figure 18)

1.Thread is of proper length when #1 die is flush with pipe end.

2.If possible, threads should be checked by a ring gauge. Thread is of proper depth if ring gauge is plus or minus one (+/- 1) turn from end of pipe.

3.To correct large (shallow) threads, adjust die head slightly toward the UNDER (-) marking on die head.

4.To correct small (deep) threads, adjust die head slightly toward the OVER (+) marking on die head.
