4. OPeratiOn
Warning! Before using the flaring kit, ensure that you
‰
have read and understood the Safety Instructions in
Section 1.
4.1. The pipe end to be flared must be cut clean and square and
be de-burred. Use a pipe or tube cutter (available from
your Sealey stockist).
4.2. open the clamp and select the appropriate matching
semi-cylindrical indentations on the two rotating dies.
Insert the prepared end of the pipe between the rotating
dies and grip the handles of the tool, bringing them together
forcefully. Adjust the protrusion of the pipe so that 'X' (fig.2)
is at least 1/8" to 3/16" depending on pipe size - the larger
the pipe - the greater 'X' should be.
4.3. Grip the clamp firmly to ensure that the pipe does not slip.
Should the hold appear insufficient, turn the cam pivot
adjustment (fig.3.A), thereby repositioning the clamp handles
allowing more pressure to be exerted.
