Step 3: If changing the gear set-up is necessary to achieve the desired thread

pitch, follow the procedure under the title “Changing Gears” in the next section.

Changing Gears

Step 1: The A gear is secured with a bolt and washer assembly and the

location is fixed. To remove the gear remove the bolt and washer.

Step 2:The B and C gears share the same shaft and are secured with a snap

ring. Remove the snap ring from the shaft to remove the gears.

Step 3: Place the proper gear in the A position for cutting the desired thread

pitch. Reinstall the washer and bolt.

Step 4:The shaft for the B/C gears mounts on a slotted plate to adjust for the

different diameters of the gears. There are two flats on the end of the shaft to

loosen and tighten the assembly to allow for adjustment. Adjust the B/C gear

shaft as needed to accommodate the B and C gears needed for cutting your

desired thread pitch.
