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 plug or 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!
The thread oil
For use ROTHENBERGER high-performance no.
ROCOOL® CUTTING OIL # 01922.
This oil is not suitable for drinking water pipes!
Keep thread oils out of the
reach of children!
Do not thin thread oil or mix it with other oils!
If the thread 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 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 oil burns onto hot workpiece or tool
surfaces, this can produce toxic vapors or gases
(e.g. chlorine gas when red oil burns). If you
have accidentally inhaled this oil mist or oil
vapors, go out into the fresh air immediately
and consult a doctor without delay!

Checking the thread oil
A new machine or a machine that has not been
used for an extended period is covered with an
oil film to protect it. Remove this with a clean
cloth.
On the right side of the machine, fill up with the
supplied thread oil (3-4l / 1 gallon).
Ensure that the machine is still switched off and
insert the plug back into the socket.
Switch on the machine and ensure that the thread
oil runs out of the thread head to the cutting
jaws. If the right amount of oil is not supplied,
regulate it with the oil adjustment screw.
Setting the amount of supplied
thread oil
When cleaning, servicing, inspecting or
repairing the machine, it is essential to switch
it off and unplug.
Ensure that the oil tank is filled with oil.
If the amount of thread oil running to the die
head does not meet the requirements, the
supplied amount CAN be
adjusted at the oil pump (1) by
the oil adjustment screw (3).
Undo the locking nut (2) 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.
