			Step 1 – Hold rethreader Hold the tool in your dominant hand so that your index finger and thumb rest in the dip at the front of the handle.

			Step 2 – Align with hole Hold the rethreader at the opening of the hole to be cleared/straightened.

			Step 3 – Turn rethreader clockwise Rotate the rethreader in a clockwise direction. Ensure the tool is moving forward, but apply most of the pressure in the rotational force (torque).

			Remove the rethreader
			Step 5 – Turn anti-clockwise To remove the rethreader, rotate anti-clockwise until the tool is free.
