depth per each thread by using suitable measuring instruments or similar. The correct adjust-
ment has to be done by the user.

Set location plate to location block which is not for the size to
be adjusted.
 Loosen the screw and move location block to adjust the thread
depth.
 Sliding toward „G“ makes deeper threads and sliding toward
„H“ makes shallower threads The thread depth will change 1,5
to 2 mm threads by one scale.
 With the aid of a measuring instrument, check the cut pipe for
a tapered thread etc. and correct the setting if necessary.
