SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash,
and other debris.
2. Never operate this machine in the presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating this machine. Distractions can lead to serious
injury or property damage. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide
barriers or shields as needed.
4. Never leave pipe threader unattended while running.
5. Do not touch grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators when operating on
electrical components. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
6. Do not expose the machine to water. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD), ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or earth leakage
circuit breaker (ELCB) protected supply.
7. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapter plugs. Check with a qualied electrician if you are unsure if the outlet is properly grounded. If the
tools should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
8. Do not use pipe threader if power switch does not work. Cease operation and repair switch or replace pipe
threader.
9. Secure pipe to bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe overhangs with pipe supports to prevent tipping
or bending.
10. When threading 3/4" pipe or larger, use a support device to resist threading forces of machine.
11. Do not touch pipe while pipe threading machine is running, doing so can cause serious personal injury
or permanent damage to the tool or workpiece. Allow the machine to come to a complete stop before
wiping or cleaning any surfaces.
12. Do not use the machine to make or break pipe ttings, this is not an intended use of the pipe threader and
can cause serious personal injury.
13. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Cease operation and replace
Power Cords immediately if damaged.
14. Disconnect power cord before making any adjusments, maintenance, or storing the machine.
15. Never use this machine when tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
16. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts and
may cause serious personal injury.
17. Use safety equipment, pipe threading machines can produce sharp chips which can cause permanent eye
damage if lodged in the eye. Wear ANSI Z87+ safety glasses or goggles for protection.
18. Do not use third party or aftermarket accessories, they may impare operation of the pipe threader or
malfunction during normal use.
19. Maintain all labels and nameplates on the machine so that they are clearly visible and legible.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Adapter Installation
Adapter is required for 1/2" through 1 1/4" 11-R Die Heads. Push Adapter into threader and tighten the ring
at opposite side (gures 1 & 2). Installation can only be made from one side of the threader.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Installing Die Heads
For Larger 1 1/2" - 2" 11-R Die Heads, push die heads squarely into the threader, spline end rst, until the
spring engages securely. For smaller 1/2" - 1 1/4" 11R Die Heads, rotate adapter cap clockwise, then push die
heads into adapter spline end rst, then release the adapter cap to hold die head (gures 3 & 4).
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
Cutting Pipe Threads
1. If possible, secure the pipe in a portable tristand vise or a bench vise.
Support long oerhanging ends of pipes to prevent tipping.
2. Fill the oiler with dedicated thread cutting oil.
3. Place pipe clamp on pipe. Position the clamp so that the support arm is
in line with the end of the pipe (see gure 5). Make sure pipe clamp jaws
contact the pipe squarely and are properly tightened to prevent slipping.
Fig. 5
WARNING
Support arm MUST be used when
threading 3/4" Pipes or larger. When
threading smaller pipes without support,
hold onto the machine rmly with one
hand to resist threading torque
4. Place die head over end of pipe and, if you are
using it, insert support arm into gear case notch.
5. Apply thread cutting oil to pipe end and die teeth
(see gure 6)
6. Begin cut by simultaneously pressing the power
switch with one hand and pressing against the die
head with the other until the die teeth catch the pipe end and start cutting.
7. Continue cut until pipe end reaches, but does not pass last set of die teeth. Doing so may create straight
or running threads.
8. Reverse directional switch and press the power switch to back the threader o of the pipe. NOTE, Hold
threader handle rmly to resist threading torque developed while backing o the pipe.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning
• After each use, wipe o any chips and oil from the die heads.
• Wipe o any chips and oil from threading machine, especially the handles and controls.
• Wipe o any chips and oil from the support arm. If necessary, clean the support arm jaws with a wire
brush.
Motor
• Check motor brushes every 6 months. Replace when worn to less than 1/4".
Changing Dies
If dies are worn, chipped, or otherwise damaged, replace dies.
1. Remove the four screws from cover and remove the cover plate.
2. Remove the old dies from the die head.
3. Insert new dies into slots – numbered edge up. Numbers on the dies must correspond with those on the
die head slots. Always replace dies as a set.
4. Replace the cover plate and tighten the four screws lightly.
5. Place die head on already threaded pipe until dies begin to thread. This forces stop on dies outward
against lugs on cover plate and properly sets the size.
6. Tighten the four screws securely. Remove the threaded pipe and make a test cut.
WARNING
Before performing any inspection,
cleaning, or maintenance procedures,
make sure the machine's power switch
is in the "OFF" position and that the
power cord is unplugged.
9. When dies clear the end of the pipe, hold the threader by the top handle to remove the device from the
pipe. Remove support arm if it was used.
