Safety instruction
For tapping, use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread-tapping oil art. no. 6.5010. This oil
is not suitable for tapping drinking water pipes!
Alternatively, you can use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread-tapping fluid, art. no.
6.5015. This fluid is suitable for tapping all pipelines (including drinking water pipelines).
Precise thread-tapping is only possible if the number on the slot of the thread-tapping head
corresponds with the number on the thread jaw!
Use only raw material that is in perfect condition for tapping threads.
If you use deformed and / or pipes cut off at an angle, it is not possible to tap threads that
conform to the relevant standards!
Use the thread-tapping head and the corresponding thread-tapping jaws that matches the
thread size! Secure the thread-tapping head correctly on the tool carriage.
Do not place the thread-tapping head directly and unprotected on the floor and handle it with
care!
Ensure that the thread-tapping oil runs on the thread-tapping jaws!
Apply anti-rust grease if the machine is not going to be used for an extended period!
