Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury, we ask you to
always take some basic safety precautions when using this product. Please read this operating manual
carefully and make sure that you understand it.
Keep these operation instructions in a safe place.
Safety instructions
•Keep your working area clean and well illuminated. A cluttered and poorly lit workplace in-
creases the risk of accidents and injuries.
•Keep children and bystanders away from your work area.
•Always wear an appropriate protective equipment (e.g., protective glasses, safety gloves, sturdy
shoes, etc.).
•During operation, wear suitable clothes. Avoid wearing wide clothes and jewellery and securely
tie long hair together.
•Do not stoop down too far. Always keep your balance and always make sure to have a safe
stand.
•Always fully concentrate on what you are doing and work with care. Do not use the device when
being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medicine.
•Do not overcharge the device. Do not use it in an incorrect manner and only in the range of
capacity specified.
•Only allow persons trained and familiarised with both the device and the safety instructions to
use the device.
•Children and people who, due to their physical, sensory, or mental abilities, to their lack of ex-
perience, or to their ignorance, are not able to operate the pipe tap cutter safely, must not use
it without supervision or instruction from a responsible person.
•Carefully maintain the device and its accessories on a regular basis. Regularly check the device
and its components to know if they are fully operational or if there are damages. Using a dam-
aged pipe tap cutter can provoke damages and injuries.
•Keep the handles proper, dry, and free from oil and lubricating agents.
•Never modify the device itself or its accessories.
•Always operate the device with a safety ring; otherwise, the cutting head might be pressed out
of its seat.
•Never hit onto the ratchet lever with a hammer.

Use
1. Connect the turning rod (2) with the connection rod (3) and thread frame (1).
2. Set the cutting head (4) into the thread frame (1) with the help of the safety ring. Then turn the
tap cutter clockwise or extract the ratchet lever (5) and turn it by 180°.
3. Check if the diameter of the pipe at the position to be threaded answers to the technical require-
ments.
4. Oil the end of the pipe to be cut to ensure the correct temperature at the position to be threaded
and the precision of the thread.
5. Fix the pipe (6) into the pipe vice (7) and set the cutting head (4) onto the pipe. Hold the turning
rod (2) with one hand and use the other hand to set the tap cutter onto the pipe; then turn it.
6. Continue until the edge of the pipe has reached the rear wall of the pipe tap cutter. Warning!
Cutting the thread beyond this point might provoke the cutting edge breaking off.
7. After the thread has been made, extract the ratchet lever (5) and turn it by 180°. Then take the
thread frame (1) and cutting head (4) off the pipe.
8. To produce a thread of another size, you can exchange the cutting head (4) of the thread frame.
9. Turn the tap cutter in the direction of the arrow found on the ratchet lever (5).
10. Use an appropriate oil to ensure a flawless operation.
