Checking the thread-tapping 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)!
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.
Turn the rotary handle (6) anti-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.

Setting the supplied thread-tapping 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.

Draining off the oil
It is essential to also observe
the safety and disposal regulations
in Chapter 7!

Operation of the thread-tapping machine
5.1
Clamping the workpieces
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!
