Electric/Manual
Lightweight Flaring Tool
Step 1:
Use a reamer to clean the tube. Insert the tube
into the appropriate hole. Slide the tube posi-
tioning device to the hole and make sure the
tube touches the device lightly. Then slide the
yoke to the top of the tube.
Step 2:
Line up the arrow indicator on the yoke with
the indicator on the bar. Then tighten the side
handle on the yoke.
Step 3-1:
Use a power drill with torque option to start
flaring. When the cone is free spinning, it
means the flaring is in process. When the cone
stops and does not rotate any further, the flaring
is complete. Do not overturn.
Note:
Use 1/4” hex bit or reversed screwdriver bit
Step 3-2:
For manual flaring, take the side handle off the
side and use it on top of the yoke.
Note: After some uses, clean the debris off the eccentric cone to ensure the smoothness of
the cone. Also, for a longer lifespan, use lubricant at the thread to prevent rust.

Or use the top handle to flare manually.
Step 4:
Use a power drill or manually return the yoke
to the original position. Then release the side
handle to move the yoke to the back. Open
the flaring bar to remove the flared tube.
WARNING
The side nut to hold the bars in place
doesn’t come in free-spinning function.
DO NOT use power drill to tighten the nut
of the yoke.
For safety reasons, use only power drills
with adjustable torque to prevent injury
when locked up. Use caution when flaring
tubing with a power tool. Start with the drill
tool torque setting low and increase only
enough to allow the flare to be formed.
Use low speed, hold securely and be
prepared for the possibility that the tool
may jump during operation.
Note: After some uses, clean the debris off the eccentric cone to ensure the smoothness of
the cone. Also, for a longer lifespan, use lubricant at the thread to prevent rust.
