the cutting dice are installed to the tool. Check
the cutting capacity written on the the cutting dice
before cutting.

be sure to set the threaded rod so that its thread
fits with those of cutting dice. Incorrect alignment
of the threads may break the cutting dice and cause

cutting edge is chipped or deformed.
When cutting, place the threaded rod perpendicular to
the cutting line as shown in the figure.
