Safety Notes
1.1
Intended use
The thread-tapping machine SUPERTRONIC 2 SE; 3 SE and 4 SE may only be used for cutting
off and deburring and making bolt threads as described in Chapter 2 "Technical data".
The SUPERTRONIC thread-tapping machines may only be operated with suitable standard and
automatic tapping heads that have been inspected and recommended by ROTHENBERGER,
and with thread-tapping jaws as described in Chapter 2 "Technical data".
The supplied safety pedal carries the GS approval of the professional liability insurers' associa-
tion 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.
Î 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.
1.2
General safety instructions
ATTENTION! When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures
must be taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire.
Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety in-
structions properly.
Service and maintenance:
1
Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication. Always pull the electrical plug before any
adjustment, maintenance or repair.
2
Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original replace-
ment parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device.
Working safely:
1
Keep your work area orderly. A messy work area can cause accidents.
2
Consider environmental influences. Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use elec-
tric tools in damp or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric tools
where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
3
Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as
pipes, radiators, electric stoves or cooling devices).
4
Keep other people away. Do not let other people — especially children — touch the elec-
tric tool or its cable. Keep them away from the work area.
5
Store electric tools safely when they are not in use. Unused electric tools should be kept
in a dry, high or closed area, out of reach of children.
6
Do not overload your electric tool. Work is better and safer within the performance range
indicated.
