cutting dies after one side is damaged.
1) First, remove the bolt with Hex Hole by allen wrench.
2) Take a Die(Right) from the slot and flip it over, then
hand-tighten the bolt. Do not tighten the bolt by wrench
now.
3) Repeat the same step on the Die(Left).
4) Place a piece of threaded rod between cutting dies and
lower the movable handle until the dies firmly contact the
threaded rod. Do not try to cut any further.
5) Securely tighten the bolt by allen wrench.
