ROTHENBERGER ROPOWER 50 R - Manual (Page 25)

ENGLISH 21
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 mi-
nute has elapsed!
Use the extension cable H07 RN 3 x 1.5 mm2! The cable should not be longer than
30 m!
4.4 The thread cutting oil
For cutting, use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread cutting fluid, art. no. 65015. This
fluid is suitable for cutting all pipelines including drinking water pipelines.
Alternatively, you can use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread cutting oil art. no.
65010. This oil is not suitable for cutting drinking water pipes!
Keep thread cutting oils out of the reach of children!
Do not thin thread cutting oil or mix it with other oils! If the thread cutting 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 cutting 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 cutting 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-energized operation)!
