4.1.1. The end of the pipe must be cut square.
4.1.2. The outside edge of the pipe must be chamfered approx 0.25mm X 45º
4.1.3. The bore of the pipe must be de-burred.

4.1.7. Consult Chart 1 and select the die specified to produce the required flare. Place the die into the cavity as shown with the split line
horizontal and the counter bore towards the operating lever (fig.1).
4.1.8. After the pipe has been prepared as instructed above, ensure the tube nut is fitted to the pipe. Pass the pipe through the rear of the die
until the prepared end is flush with the front face of the die. Ensure that both halves of the die are contacting the die stops (fig.2). Swing
the locking plate into position and tighten the clamping screw. Check that the position of the pipe and die are still correct.
4.1.9. Select required OP.1 punch by rotating the turret so that it is facing and in line with the pipe, g.3.
4.1.10. Pull the lever to engage the punch into the end of the brake pipe and continue to form the flare until a solid resistance is felt (fig.4). Return
the handle to the original position to withdraw the punch. If the required flare calls for a second operation in Chart 1, rotate the turret until
the Op.2 punch is facing and in line with the brake pipe. Operate the lever to complete the form of the flare.
Return the lever to the original position to withdraw the punch. Release the clamping screw and swing the clamp open and remove the
dies with the pipe.
If necessary a gentle tap on a suitable surface will release the dies from the pipe.
Check the quality of the flare to ensure the pipe did not move during the flaring.
IMPORTANT
The punches and dies supplied for this tool must only be used with this equipment.
