1.2 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your electrically operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
   b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   e) When operating a power tool outdoors only, use extension cords suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
   a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A momentary lack of attention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
   h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care
   a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
   h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unex- pected situations.

5. Battery tool use and care
   a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   b) WARNING! Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs and respectively battery types. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of explosions, injury and fire.
   c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
   e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Damaged or modified batteries can behave unexpectedly and lead to fires, explosions or injuries.
   f) Do not expose a battery for fire or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C (265°F) can cause an explosion.
   g) Follow all the instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the cordless tool outside the temperature range specified in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range can destroy the battery and increase the fire risk.

6. Service
   a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
   b) Never service damaged batteries. All maintenance of batteries should only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorized customer service points.
   

1.3 Special safety instructions
SUPERTRONIC 2000 E:
Do not thread without using the tube clamp. The tube clamp should be used even when threading the smallest sizes.
Check that the tube clamp is perfectly mounted.If the
tube is not fastened correctly, the machine would rotate on the threading head, with the consequent risk of injury to the operator. The tube fastening bolt is left loose inside the case cover and should be screwed into its corresponding hole.
Check condition of ON switch. When released of pressure, check that the ON switch unblocks automatically.
Do not thread without abundant and continuous lubrication. Good lubrication will prolong the life of your machine and threading heads. It will also improve threading quality.
Always thread at working speed. Threading from right to left should be done at the working speed indicated on the reversing gear lever in the direction of the arrow. Fast speed will only be used to unscrew the threading head from the tube. For left thread, insert the threading head at the opposite end of the machine and maintain rotation in work direction.
Do not change speeds during the threading operation. When the threading operation has been completed, stop the machine and change gears to initiate reverse movement and free the tube. Always use the support device supplied with the power tool. Losing control whilst working might result in injuries.
Keep your sleeves and jackets buttoned up whilst handling the power tool. Do not reach over the power tool or the pipe. Clothing can get caught by the pipe or the power tool and then you will be entangled.
Only one person is to control the work process and handle the power tool. Allowing addi- tional personnel to become involved in the work process might result in unintentional actions and injuries.

Keep the floor dry and free of slippery agents such as oil. Slippery floors can cause accidents.

4.2 Changing the battery (B)
Slide the battery in until you hear it lock into place. Remove the battery by pressing down on the lock and then pulling the battery out.
Using a battery with at least 4.0Ah is recommended to ensure the optimum processing of pipes with large diameters. Otherwise, the device’s power might be insufficient and the device will switch off during the operating cycle.

4.3 Operating (C)
Before carrying out any operations with the machine, first read the general safety instructions and preparations for start up!
Never reach into the area around the rotating parts!
Always keep one hand on the appliance’s handle so that you can operate the On / Off switch. Do not lock the On switch in place during operation so that you can react quickly!

• Fasten the tube clamp securely and check that the machine’s anchor bolt is parallel to the tube to be threaded. The bolt should extend over the end of the tube by approximately 1 or 1.5 cm.
• Choose the threading head according to your needs and mount it in the octagonal coupling of the machine. Fit the adapter first, when using a 1.1/4” head. For right thread, insert the threading head ad the front of the machine. For left thread, insert the threading head at the opposite end of the machine.
• When using the adapter, this should be directly inserted in the octagonal coupling of the machine on the same in which the threading head has been inserted (right thread: front side; left thread: opposite side) and secured by its threaded cap.
• To insert the head into the adapter, move the mobile part of the latter counterclockwise until it is completely inserted. This will spring back securing the head. To remove it, proceed in likewise manner.
• Next insert the machine in the tube and make sure that it is securely guided into its housing by the tube clamp bolt.
• Check that the reverse gear lever is correctly in place (arrow in working direction). Press the electric switch with your right hand. Rotation will start immediately. Now the head should be moved towards the tube to start the threading process by pressing on the machine.
• As soon as threading has begun, the head should be constantly and abundantly lubricated with threading oil ROTHENBERGER.
• Once the appropriate threading length has been achieved (the tube of the threading head should never overhang in a normal thread), stop the motor. Change the position of the reverse gear lever and start the motor. The machine will begin to unscrew the head and the tube will become free.
  ATTENTION! Fast speed must only be used to unscrew the head. Never thread on fast speed!
