To guarantee precisely ground threads, follow the instructions below:
Use only raw material that is in perfect condition for tapping threads.
If you use deformed and / or pipes cut off at an angle, it is not possible to tap threads that
conform to the relevant standards!
Use the thread-tapping head and the corresponding thread-tapping jaws that match the
thread size! Secure the thread-tapping head correctly on the tool carriage.
Do not place the thread-tapping head directly and unprotected on the floor and handle it
with care! Ensure that the thread-tapping oil runs on the thread-tapping jaws!
