How to make a decent brake flare with this?

Hi all,

I've lost the bloody instructions for my brake pipe flaring tool (shown below). I know its not ideal, but I managed to make some decent flares with it last time.

Can someone tell me how to use it properly?

Cheers

i was gonna write

a load of crap telling you how.

instead i took photos, should be self explanatory , i've found 5-6mm of pipe on the flaring side to be ideal (i used more on the pictures to make it a little more visible)

Thanks Staple Balls I'll have a go tonight after I've eaten.

MikeR, even though I think I can work it out from the pics, a scan would be still welcome

Cheers guys,
