The OP figured it out, diagnosed his problem, adjusted the depth, and successfully cut threads.
Seriously, what could he hope to gain by coming here to get second guessed, or told that the tool is crap?
It's comparable to navigating yourself to the destination, then asking your mother in law if you went the right way.
FWIW, right/left and clockwise/counter clockwise are meaningless concepts unless you establish the point of view first. So as I said earlier, the OP likely is misinterpreting the instructions, but IT DOESN'T MATTER, because he's well past that.
I have noticed that this forum usually expects a level of tolerance that I have found difficult to muster up a number of times and have been taken to task for it (somewhat intolerantly I might add). You may find that to be the case for yourself as well.
Just a thot
