Maintenance and inspection

All machines are subject to natural wear during use.
They must be maintained from time to time and wear parts must be replaced.
This work may only be carried out by an authorised ROTHENBERGER service station.
This gives you a full warranty on the material and workmanship!
If the machine is being cleaned, maintained, inspected or repaired, it is essential
to switch it off and to pull out the mains plug (de- energised operation)!
Always avoid uncontrolled starting-up of the machine. Risk of injury and
accidents!
Threading oil maintenance:
Change threading oil every 40 hours of use or when threading oil has become contaminated
or dirty.
To drain oil, position a container under drain plug and remove plug.
When oil has drained out use a rag to clean oil sump of chips and sediment.
Remove all debris around oil filter.
Replace drain plug and pour 3-4l of ROTHENBERGER-oil into oil sump.
Carriage rails and gear:
Keep clean and oil frequently with machine oil.
Ring gear:
Remove spindle cover and check ring gear every six month to see if additional "FIL-MO-PLATE"
spray lubricant needs to be applied.
Motor:
Check motor for brush wear every six month. If motor lacks power due to a dirty commutator,
use a commutator cleaner stick or fine emery cloth. Lubrication is not required as all motors have
sealed ball bearings.
Gear case:
It is permanently lubricated and requires no maintenance
Brake band:
If slippage of stock should occur after wire brushing jaws, then:
Stop the machine.
Remove spindle cover.
Tighten brake adjustment bolt.
Start machine.
Turn switch "OFF" and spindle should coast one revolution. If not, repeat steps.
Replace spindle cover.
Thread jaws:
Keep sharp and free of chips at all times. For sharpening service please contact our customer
