Preparations for operation

4.1

Transporting the threading machine

Bend at the knees when lifting the machine so as to protect your back against
over-stressing.
Weighing more than 35 kg, you need 2 people to carry the machine safe!
Fix the tool carriage so that it cannot move while the machine is being transported. Hold
the machine securely by its base to lift it. Do not hold the machine by its centring chuck
or the internal deburrer when carrying it!
If the machine is transported with the thread-tapping oil still inside, the oil might splash
out onto clothing due to vibrations!
Thread-tapping oil on the surface of the machine makes it slippery. Ensure that it does
not slip out of your hands when you lift it!
4.2

Setting up the machine

Set up the machine in a dry location!
Place the machine on a level surface without spac-
es or on a flatwork bench. The centring chuck must
be higher in relation to other parts of the machine so
that no thread-tapping oil can escape via the pipe
being machined and contaminate the floor!
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 warn-
ing 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 haz-
ard!
