Electrical
1
The bar threader requires 220-240 volt, 3 phase power. A four-pronged
locking plug (as shown) is standard.
2
After connecting the power be sure the head of the bar threader is rotating
in the direction indicated by the arrow on the hood. If it is not rotating in
the correct direction, switch any two of the power leads in the plug.

Center Rings
1
Adjust table height, with built-in jack, to match the elevation
of the bar.
2
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 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.
The bar threader will ship set up to run the largest bar size
you will be threading.
5
When threading a #14 (43 mm) or #18 (57 mm) bar, the
adaptor ring must be removed. This is done in the same way
you remove the center ring. See the previous step.
43
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.

Add Oil
21
Prior to threading, the oil must be added. Pour the oil
into the chip funnel and it will flow into the oil reservoir.
Only part #ELOIL oil should be used.
The reservoir is properly filled when the oil is just below
the chip drawer sliding brackets.
