Center Rings
21
Before adjusting the table height, you must first loosen
each collar located at the bottom of each table leg.
To obtain the best centering of the rebar into the
threading machine, the best fitting set of center rings
should be used. We offer two or three different size sets
per bar. To make sure you are using the correct set, slide
one of the center rings per set over the bar ends to be
threaded to determine which one slides on easily with
the least amount of slop. Each center ring is stamped
with the bar size it is to be used with in millimeters.
Adjust the table height with a ½” square drive ratchet
using a ¾” standard drive socket.
43
The bar threader will come to you set up to run the largest
bar size you will be threading.

Center Rings
65
To change centers to a different bar size or to go with a
set that fits the bar better, push in the release ring and
pull out the existing center. Put in the new center and
lock it in place by letting loose of the release ring.
When threading a #14 or #18 bar, the adaptor ring must
be removed. This is done in the same way you remove the
center ring as in the previous step.

Add Oil
21
Prior to threading, the oil must be added. Pour the oil
onto the chip funnel and it will flow into the oil reservoir.
Only part # ELOIL should be used.
The reservoir is properly filled when the oil level is at the
top of the sight glass.
