USAGE INFORMATION

a.) Cutting Female Threads (Taps)
(1) Measure the external diameter of the bolt you
wish to use.
(2) Determine the thread pitch using the thread
gauge included with the product.
The prongs on the thread pitch must fit exactly
into the screw thread.
(3) Choose the correct tap. The corresponding size
information can be found on the thread gauge
and the tap. Insert the tap into one of the two
tap holders. Fix the tap in place so that it cannot
fall out of the holder.
Please note that one tap holder is designed for
small taps and the other tap holder is designed
for large taps. Insert the tap holder into the
tap wrench.

(4) Locate or drill your own appropriately sized hole
for the tap being used with the drill bits provided
in the drill pouch in this kit (see page 2).
(5) Apply a small amount of cutting oil to the tap.
(6) Start to cut the thread. The first 4 cutting edges of
the tap are chamfered to allow for alignment with
the hole. Turn the handle in a clockwise direction,
maintaining a 90º perpendicular relationship
with tap and hole.
