• Insert new threaded mandrel of same size (if worn out) or threaded mandrel of matching
thread size all the way to buffer.
• Release slide. At the same time make sure that the threaded mandrel is locked safely
inside the hexagon socket of the slide. If required, unscrew threaded mandrel slightly until
the slide locks.
• Insert a matching nosepiece for each thread size using locknut 1 and lock loosely with
locknut, using a double open-ended spanner.
