Safety information
1.1
Correct use
The thread-tapping machine SUPERTRONIC 2 SE; 3 SE and 4 SE may only be used for cutting
off and deburring and making bolt threads as described in Chapter 2 "Technical data".
The SUPERTRONIC thread-tapping machines may only be operated with suitable standard and
automatic tapping heads that have been inspected and recommended by ROTHENBERGER, and
with thread-tapping jaws as described in Chapter 2 "Technical data".
The supplied safety pedal carries the GS approval of the professional liability insurers'
association and is compulsory for using the machine in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Never make technical or design modifications to the thread-tapping machine and to
the accessory parts. This would render the operating permit void and would represent
an accident and injury risk.
When using electrical tools and machines, basic safety measures must be observed
and followed in order to provide protection against electric shock, injury and fire risks.
Read the instructions precisely before using the machine. Always keep the safety
instructions to hand.

General safety instructions
ATTENTION! When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures must
be taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire.
Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety
instructions properly.
Service and maintenance:
1
Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication. Always pull the electrical plug before any
adjustment, maintenance or repair.
Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original
2
replacement parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device.
Working safely:
Keep your work area orderly. A messy work area can cause accidents.

2
Consider environmental influences. Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use
electric tools in damp or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric
tools where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as
3
pipes, radiators, electric stoves or cooling devices).
4
Keep other people away. Do not let other people — especially children — touch the
electric tool or its cable. Keep them clear of the work area.
5
Store electric tools safely when they are not in use. Unused electric tools should be kept
in a dry, high or closed area, out of reach of children.
Do not overload your electric tool. Work is better and safer within the performance range
6
indicated.
7
Use the right electric tool. Don't use low-performance machines for heavy-duty jobs. Do
not use the electric tool for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use
a portable circular saw for cutting tree branches or logs.
8
Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as they can get caught in
moving parts. When working outdoors, wear slip-resistant shoes. Wear a hairnet over long
hair.
