The vibration level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 61029 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Preparations for operation

4.1 Transporting the threading machine
Bend at the knees when lifting the machine so as to protect your back against over-stressing.
Weighing more than 35 kg, you need 2 people to carry the machine safe!
Fix the tool carriage so that it cannot move while the machine is being transported. Hold the machine securely by its base to lift it. Do not hold the machine by its centring chuck or the internal deburrer when carrying it!
If the machine is transported with the thread-tapping oil still inside, the oil might splash out onto clothing due to vibrations!
** Thread-tapping oil on the surface of the machine makes it slippery. Ensure that it does not slip out of your hands when you lift it!
4.2 Setting up the machine
** Set up the machine in a dry location!
Place the machine on a level surface without spaces or on a flatwork bench. The centring chuck must be higher in relation to other parts of the machine so that no thread-tapping oil can escape via the pipe being machined and contaminate the floor!  ** If you do not have a clear view of the dangerous area formed by the machine and the revolving workpiece, the full length of the revolving workpieces must be reduced or the dangerous area must be safeguarded by a cordon or warning signs! The safety fixtures must be set up and secured firmly. If supports are used for this purpose, they must be height-adjustable and sturdy and there must be a sufficient number of them!
4.3 Electrical connection
** Do not place either the machine or workpieces on the connecting cable, otherwise the cable could be damaged and electrical current could be exposed, presenting an electric shock hazard!
Never touch the mains plug and mains cable with wet hands. Electric shock hazard!
When connecting the machine to the electricity supply, always ensure that the switch is set to “OFF”, otherwise there is a risk that the machine will start up unnoticed and unsupervised when the power is connected!
It is essential that the voltage on the machine’s rating plate corresponds to the power source, otherwise the machine could get hot, smoke could develop, start a fire and cause damage!
The integrated overload protection automatically stops the machine in the event of an overload or power fluctuations! Switching back on is not possible until one minute has elapsed!
** Use the extension cable H07 RN 3 x 1.5 mm2! The cable should not be longer than 30m!
4.4 The thread cutting oil
** For tapping, use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread-tapping oil art. no. 65010.
This oil is not suitable for tapping drinking water pipes!
Alternatively, you can use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread-tapping fluid, art. no. 65015. This fluid is suitable for tapping all pipelines including drinking water pipelines.
Keep thread-tapping oils out of the reach of children!
Do not thin thread-tapping oil or mix it with other oils! If the thread- tapping oil becomes mixed with water, it turns milky-white, its quality is reduced and the tapped thread displays lower quality. It is then recommended to change the oil!
Avoid direct sunlight and store the oil in a dark place!
Close the oil container tight after use in order to prevent the ingress of dirt and water!
ATTENTION PERSONS WITH ALLERGIES!
Thread-tapping oil that lands on the skin can cause skin irritation, inflammation and allergic reactions! When handling oil, wear protective clothing and cover exposed skin areas. If your skin comes into contact with oil, wash it immediately with tap water and soap. If thread-tapping oil burns onto hot workpiece or tool surfaces, this can produce toxic vapours or gases (e.g. chlorine gas when red oil burns). If you have accidentally inhaled this oil mist or oil vapours, go out into the fresh air immediately and consult a doctor without delay!
4.5 Checking the thread cutting oil
When cleaning, servicing, inspecting or repairing the machine, it is essential to switch it off and pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation)!
Turn the rotary handle (6) clockwise in order to move the tool carriage (4) to the clamping chuck (8).
On the right side of the machine, fill up with the thread tapping oil to the level of the sieve mesh.
Ensure that the machine is still switched off and insert the mains plug back into the socket.
** Switch on the machine and ensure that the thread-tapping oil runs out of the thread-tapping head to the cutting jaws. If the right amount of oil is not supplied, regulate it with the oil adjustment screw. 4.6 Setting the supplied thread cutting oil quantity
** When cleaning, servicing, inspecting or repairing the machine, it is essential to switch it off and pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation)!
Ensure that the oil tank is filled with oil up to the level of the sieve mesh.
If the amount of thread-tapping oil running via the thread tapping head does not meet the requirements, the supplied amount must be adjusted with the aid of the oil adjustment screw.
Undo the locking nut of the oil adjustment screw.
Turning the oil adjustment screw clockwise increases the amount of oil delivered and turning it anti-clockwise reduces the amount.
** Tighten the locking nut firmly after making the adjustment. 4.7 Draining off the oil**
It is essential to also observe the safety and disposal regulations in Chapter 9!

Operation of the threading machine

5.1 Clamping the workpieces (B)
The tool carriage can make contact with the frame before the tapping process has ended and the clamping chuck and the machine can be damaged as a result! A clearance of at least 70 mm must therefore be maintained between the thread cut on the workpiece and the clamping chuck Move the pipe cutter and the thread-tapping head up so that they are not in the way and position the internal deburrer on the rear side.
Insert the workpiece from the centring chuck side (fi g.1) and tighten the centring chuck (fig.2).
Hold the workpiece on the clamping chuck side securely with your right hand and gradually tighten it with the clamping chuck (fig. 3).
Ensure that the three clamping jaws are in contact with the workpiece.
If the three clamping jaws are not in contact with the workpiece, it will wobble and neither cutting nor thread cutting can be performed correctly.
Clamp the workpiece securely and tighten it very firmly.
In the case of long or heavy pipes, it is essential to use the pipe support Art. No. 56047 in order to prevent the workpiece wobbling or twisting while it is being turned and to prevent the machine from tipping over due to the weight of the workpiece!
Otherwise, the workpiece and the machine can become unstable!
5.2 Cutting the workpiece with the pipe cutter (C)
Do not touch the cutting surface with bare hands, because it is hot and has sharp edges! Risk of injury and burning!
If the handle of the pipe cutter is turned with force, the cutting surface of the pipe takes an oval shape, which makes correct thread-tapping impossible. Therefore, move the handle of the pipe cutter half a turn per whole pipe rotation!
Move the pipe cutter up so that it is not in the way. Turn the feeder hand wheel in order to bring the pipe cutter into the position necessary for cutting the workpiece.
Move the pipe cutter down onto the workpiece and then press the ON switch or press the pedal.
Turn the handle of the pipe cutter powerfully clockwise and start to cut the workpiece.
Swivel the pipe cutter down and back again.
** Do not collect the cut pipes in the trough! Take them out of the trough immediately after the cutting process ends!
5.3 Reaming the workpieces (D)
** The cutting tip of the internal deburrer is very sharp! Do not touch it with bare hands! Risk of cutting and injury!
Pull the internal deburrer towards you.
Turn the feeder hand wheel clockwise and gently press the cutting edge of the reamer against the inside of the pipe in order to ream.
** Turn the rotary handle further and gently press the cutting edge of the reamer against the inside of the pipe in order to ream.
5.4 Removing and installing the dies (E)
** Wear gloves in order to prevent cut injuries to the hands caused by the dies!
