1. Measure the ID of the pipe, and then choose the proper expanding block according to the diagram
of expanding blocks, (see the figure on the expanding blocks), choose proper block, fix them on
the wedge block, and tighten.

3. Back the travel of tool bit by tool feed using hand wheel (tool feed/back ratchet spanner). Insert
the expandable mandrel into the pipe, fasten the expansion nut lightly, shake the machine (in
order to center, and make the expanding block properly contact the ID pipe), the machine will be
