5 Transport, packaging, storage
5.1 Delivery
The thread cutting achine ust be checked for visible
transport da age and for co pleteness after delivery. If
the thread cutting achine shows da age or parts are
issing, this ust be reported i ediately to the trans-
port co pany or the dealer.
5.2 Transport
I proper transport of individual devices, unsecured de-
vices stacked on top of each other or next to each other
in packed or already unpacked condition is accident-
prone and can cause da age or alfunctions for which
we do not grant any liability or guarantee.
Transport the scope of delivery secured against shifting
or tilting with a sufficiently di ensioned industrial truck to
the installation site.
General risks during internal transport
Devices ay only be transported by authorized and qua-
lified persons. Act responsibly during transport and al-
ways consider the consequences. Refrain fro daring
and risky actions.
Gradients and descents (e.g. driveways, ra ps and the
like) are particularly dangerous. If such passages are
unavoidable, special caution is required.
Before starting the transport check the transport route for
possible danger points, unevenness and disturbances
as well as for sufficient strength and load capacity.
Danger points, unevenness and disturbance points ust
be inspected before transport. The re oval of danger
spots, disturbances and unevenness at the ti e of trans-
port by other e ployees leads to considerable dangers.
Careful planning of internal transport is therefore essential.
5.3 Packaging
All packaging aterials and packaging aids of the scrub-
bing vacuu cleaning achine are recyclable and ust
always be recycled.
Shred cardboard packaging co ponents and take the
to the waste paper collection.
The fil s are ade of polyethylene (PE) and the padding
parts of polystyrene (PS). These aterials should be ta-
ken to a collection point for recyclable aterials or to
your local waste disposal co pany.
5.4 Storage
Store the tapping achine in a dry, clean, dust-free and
frost-free environ ent. It ust not be stored in a roo
with strongly oxidizing che icals.
If the tapping achine ust be stored in a da p roo ,
all bare etal parts ust be greased against corrosion.
CAU ION!
Injuries caused by parts falling over or off a forklift,
pallet truck or transport vehicle.
Only use eans of transport that can carry the total
weight and are suitable for it.
CAU ION: DANGER OF IPPING!
The device ay be lifted unsecured by a axi u
of 2c .
E ployees ust be outside the danger zone, the
reach of loads. Warn e ployees and, if necessary,
advise e ployees of the hazard.

hread Select: Click the “Thread Select” to choose the
thread size, it will auto atically generate the thread pitch
and torque.
apping Pitch: In the Thread Select interface,if you
choose the thread, it will generate the thread pitch auto-
atically, or you can set nonstandard pitch value.
Input range: 0.001-10 .
apping depth: Setting of the desired thread depth.
Value range: 0.01-500 .
apping speed: The setting of the cutting speed of the
threading achine.
Calculation: Vgs=V ax/L; if the ax. otor speed is
V ax=3000 rp and the gear ratio is L=16, the axi-
u speed of tapping is Vgs=V ax/L=3000/16=187
rp . .
Return speed: Setting of the return speed of the thread
tapping achine.
orque setting: To set this para eter, the torque pro-
tection function ust be opened on the user para eter
interface.
After setting the torque protection: During achining, if
the control detects that the tapping force reaches the
preset protection torque, the otor stops tapping, then
retracts to the preset nu ber of threads and then conti-
nues tapping until the preset thread depth is reached.
Note: Torque protection in nor al operation is available
in anual and auto atic operation odes, but not in
deep hole operation.
Counter: Recording of the processed workpiece quan-
tity. The „Clear“ button resets the nu ber to zero.
Actual depth: Actual value thread cutting depth in a-
nual and auto atic operating ode. The current thread
cutting depth is auto atically deleted each ti e the
thread cutting achine is started.
In the event of an interruption in auto atic thread cutting
ode, the thread cutting depth is not deleted! When the
thread-cutting achine is restarted, the re aining depth
continues to be cut up to the preset value.
Manual/Automatic mode: select the desired ode by
touching the screen.
Manual mode:
On the user interface, select the thread, the thread cut-
ting depth, the torque, the thread cutting speed and the

8.9 Adjusting the coupling torque of
the collet chuck
If the collet clutch has slipped during nor al tapping ope-
ration but the tap torque is not exceeded, or if it slips du-
ring tapping, the torque lock value is too s all. Set the
torque of the tap clutch higher.
If the tap's torque is exceeded during nor al operation of
the tap but the collet's clutch does not slip, this is an indi-
cation that the torque protection value is too large and
the clutch's torque ust be set s aller.
Adjustment steps:
 Re ove the locking ring
 Fir ly hold the tapping sleeve in place
 Adjust the torque with the torque spanner (see fig. 17)
 Align the slot on the top with the hole in the outer rin 
 Insert the retaining ring end into the hole below the
slot, let it snap into place.
