B - Operating instructions
Fasten the tube clamp securely and check that the machine's anchor bolt is parallel to the tube to be
threaded (Fig.1). The bolt should extend over the end of the tube by approximately 1 or 1.5 cm.
Choose the threading head according to your needs and mount it in the octagonal coupling of the machine.
Fit the adapter first, when using a 1.1/4" head. For right thread, insert the threading head ad the front of
the machine. For left thread, insert the threading head at opposite end of the machine.
When using the adapter, this should be directly inserted in the octagonal coupling of the machine on the
same in which the threading head has been inserted (right thread: front side; left thread: opposite side) and
secured by its threaded cap.
To insert the head into the adapter, move the mobile part of the latter counter-clockwise until it is
completely inserted. This will spring back securing the head. To remove it, proceed in likewise manner.
Next insert the machine in the tube and make sure that it is securely guided into its housing by the tube
clamp bolt (Fig. 2).
Check that the reverse gear lever is correctly in place (arrow in working direction). Press the electric switch
with your right hand. Rotation will start immediately. Now the head should be moved towards the tube to
start the threading process by pressing on the machine.
As soon as threading has begun, the head should be constantly and abundantly lubricated with threading
oil Rothenberger (Fig. 3).
Once the appropiate threading length has been achieved (the tube of the threading head should never
overhang in a normal thread), stop the motor. Change the position of the reverse gear lever and start the
motor. The machine will begin to unscrew the head and the tube will become free (Fig. 4).
ATTENTION! Fast speed must only be used to unscrew the head. Never thread on fast speed!

Maintenance

Cable and plug. Both the cable and plug should be in optimum condition. Check them at regular intervals.
ON switch. Check that the machine switch unblocks automatically when finger pressure is released. In case
of any anomaly, replace immediately with a new one.
Brushes. Check frequently for brush wear and perfect contact with rotor. Change brushes when their
length is 1/3 of original length. Use original Rothenberger brushes.
Motor and rotor. The carbon dust accumulated in the motor and brush housing should be removed every
100 hours. The motor's rotor should be permanently clean with an uniform surface (light bronze colour).
Threading heads. Check that there are no damaged teeth on the head to be used, as thread quality could
be seriously deterriorated. Keep clean of swarf to achieve top quality threading and longer life.
