Draining off the oil

It is essential to also observe
the safety and disposal regulations
in Chapter 7!
5 Operation of the thread- machine
Your ROTHENBERGER COLLINS RHINO 4 is equipped with 2 electrical switches, a safety foot
switch, a thread /off/ release (T.O.R.) switch. The functions of these switches are as follows:
The safety foot switch is designed to provide the operator with a rapid method of stopping
electrical power to the machine if an emergency should occur and to connect electrical
power. Also it insures that the machine cannot be operated unless the operator is in proper
position.
The thread /off/ release switch is the operating switch. The thread position closes the jaws
and rotates the spindle. The off position stops the machine. The reverse position opens the
jaws. The reverse position is spring loaded to return to the off position.

Clamping the workpieces

Turn T.O.R-switch to "release" position and press the pedal to open jaws.
Again, turn T.O.R.-switch to "release" position and jaws will cycle to open position.
Insert pipe or rod into chuck from either front or rear and position for desired length to be
cut.
Move T.O.R.-switch to thread position.
In the case of long or heavy pipes, it is essential to use the pipe support Art. No.
5.6047 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

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- 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 anti-
clockwise 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!
