1. Remove Czextruder and attachments from the package. If you want to use the cordless drill then continue with step no. 4.
2. Loosen and unscrew hex end extension for a cordless drill.
3. Now screw in the cranked handle (Z shape) to the threaded rod, up to the end. Tighten the jam nut using a mini wrench to hold the handle in its place.
4. Loosen up and unscrew the upper cap and take it out together with the threaded rod.
5. Slide/rewind the upper cap all the way to the bottom of the threaded rod, as seen in the picture.
6. Insert the cylinder with two o-rings into the tube/barrel and push it about 2 centimetres inside.
7. Put on and screw in the upper cap with a threaded rod.
8. Loosen and unscrew the bottom cap (the part where you insert a disk) of the tube/barrel.
9. Remove small disk with a pattern from disk container (mini CD) by twisting motion.
10. Use nail clippers to nip off the connection nubs. Or clean the connection nubs with small file or sandpaper.
11. The mini disk is now ready for use/insertion into Czextruder’s bottom cap.
12. Load well-prepared clay into the tube/barrel.
13. Now insert the disk into the bottom cap and screw it back in.
14. Czextruder is now ready for use. Spin the handle/cordless drill until the trapezoidal thread is not visible anymore, that means you’ve extruded everything. You must stop extruding at this point. Otherwise, you could damage your Czextruder.
15. Loosen and unscrew the bottom cap of the tube/barrel the part where you insert an extruding disk). Spin the handle/cordless drill and start gradually pushing out the grey cylinder with two o-rings. Remove the cylinder from the tube/barrel and eventually clean it.
