• FOR HAND USE ONLY - Taps and dies are designed for hand drive only. Please do not use them with power tools which will deliver over torque to damage the threads.

• Select the Correct Die or Tap — Identify the required thread size and standard (Metric, SAE Coarse/Fine, NPT) from the set. Match the die or tap size to the workpiece diameter and thread pitch you need to create or repair.
• Prepare the Workpiece — Ensure the workpiece is securely held. For cutting new threads, chamfer the end slightly. Apply a suitable cutting fluid or lubricant to the die or tap and the workpiece to reduce friction and improve thread quality.
• Thread or Rethread — Using the appropriate wrench (tap wrench for taps, die wrench for dies), apply steady, even pressure. For cutting new threads, turn clockwise about one full turn, then back off a half-turn to clear chips. For rethreading, turn clockwise, following the existing thread path.
• Clean and Store — Once threading is complete, clean the workpiece and the tools thoroughly. Lightly oil the taps and dies to prevent rust, especially in humid Indian climates, and store them in the provided case for protection.
