Checking the thread-tapping oil

When cleaning, servicing, inspecting or repairing the machine, it is essential to switch
it off and pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation)!
A new machine or a machine that has not been used for an extended period is covered with an oil film to
protect it. Remove this with a clean cloth.
Turn the rotary handle (6) anti-clockwise in order to move the tool carriage (4) to the clamping chuck (8).
On the right side of the machine, fill up with the supplied thread-tapping oil to the level of the sieve mesh.
Ensure that the machine is still switched off and insert the mains plug back into the socket.
Switch on the machine and ensure that the thread-tapping oil runs out of the thread-tapping head to the
cutting jaws. If the right amount of oil is not supplied, regulate it with the oil adjustment screw.

Turning the oil adjustment screw clockwise increases the amount of oil delivered and turning it anti-clockwise
