1. Assemble the Handle (20). For smaller pipes attach Tube 2 (19) to Handle. For larger pipes add Connector (18) and Tube 1 (17).
2. Thread completed Handle into Ratchet Holder.
3. Determine the size of the pipe to be threaded.
4. Pick the appropriate Die to be used. Die sizes are stamped on the outside of each Die.
5. Properly secure the pipe in a pipe vise (not included). Place a bucket underneath the pipe to collect the oil.
6. Place the rear of the Die over the end of the pipe to verify that the inside diameter of the Die matches the outside diameter of the pipe.
