Setting Up The Machine; Electrical Connection - Rothenberger ROPOWER 50 R Mode D'emploi

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!
4.3

Setting up the machine

Set up the machine in a dry location!
Place the machine on a level surface without spaces or on a flat work 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!
Ensure that there is sufficient space around the machine and in the working area!
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 warning 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!

When connecting the machine to the electricity supply, always ensure that the switch is
set to "OFF" ", otherwise there is a risk that the machine will start up unnoticed and
unsupervised when the power is connected!
