Usage Guidelines:

• Chamfering: Before threading, it's recommended to chamfer the end of the workpiece at a 45-degree angle. This practice reduces sudden loading on the die's leading edges and facilitates smoother threading.

• Alignment: Ensure that the die is aligned squarely with the workpiece to prevent uneven threading and potential damage to the die.

• Lubrication: Applying appropriate lubricants during the threading process minimizes friction and prolongs the die's lifespan.

• Adjustments: For adjustable split dies, make equal adjustments to the screws (e.g., 0.15 mm) to maintain balance and prevent undue pressure on one side, which could lead to breakage.
