Safety notes

1.1

Correct use

The thread-tapping machine ROPOWER 50 R may only be used for cutting off, making and deburring BSPT, NPT
threads measuring ¼" ... 2" as described in Chapter 2 "Technical data".
The ROPOWER 50 R thread-tapping machine may only be operated with suitable automatic tapping heads that
have been inspected and recommended by ROTHENBERGER Werkzeuge GmbH, and with thread-tapping jaws as
described in Chapter 2 "Technical data".
Correct use of accessories:
Use the accessories available from the main catalogue only as described in the catalogue and as stated in the
operating instructions.
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.

clothing into the operating and intake areas of rotating parts (workpiece, clamping
chuck, centring chuck). Do not wear jewellery (rings, chains etc.). Risk of injury and
accidents!
Only use machines that operate faultlessly. If the machine is so heavily damaged (cracks,
deformation etc.) that electrical or drive parts are exposed, pull out the mains plug
immediately and contact Customer Service.
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by specialist workshops
authorised by Rothenberger. Incorrect repairs can present significant hazards for the
user!
