1. Safety notes
1.1 Correct use
The thread-tapping machine SUPERTRONIC 2 SE; 3 SE and 4 SE may only be used for cutting off, making and
deburring BSPT, NPT and bolt threads measuring ¼” … 2” (2 SE), ½” … 3” (3 SE) and ¼” … 4”
(4 SE) as described in Chapter 2 “Technical data”.
The SUPERTRONIC thread-tapping machines may only be operated with suitable standard and automatic tapping
heads that have been inspected and recommended by ROTHENBERGER Werkzeuge GmbH, and with thread-tapping
jaws as described in Chapter 2 “Technical data”.
Correct use of accessories:
Use the accessories available from the main catalogue only as described in the catalogue and as stated in the
operating instructions.
The supplied safety pedal carries the GS approval of the professional liability insurers’ association and is compulsory
for using the machine in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Never make technical or design modifications to the thread-tapping machine and to the accessory
parts. This would render the operating permit void and would represent an accident and injury risk.
When using electrical tools and machines, basic safety measures must be observed and followed in
order to provide protection against electric shock, injury and fire risks. Read the instructions
precisely before using the machine. Always keep the safety instructions to hand.
1.2 Safety symbols used and their meanings
Hazard to life and health if the safety instructions are not followed.
If the safety instructions are not followed, there is a possibly hazardous situation that
can result in injury or material damage.
This symbol indicates important information for correctly handling the machine.
Ignoring these instructions can result in problems on the machine or the surrounding
area.
1.3 Notes on safety for persons and the machine
Never put fingers, your face, hair or other parts of the body, or loose, wide items of
clothing into the operating and intake areas of rotating parts (workpiece, clamping
chuck, centring chuck). Do not wear jewellery (rings, chains etc.). Risk of injury and
accidents!
Only use machines that operate faultlessly. If the machine is so heavily damaged (cracks,
deformation etc.) that electrical or drive parts are exposed, pull out the mains plug
immediately and contact Customer Service.
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by specialist workshops
authorised by Rothenberger. Incorrect repairs can present significant hazards for the
user!

In the event of faults (unusual smell, vibrations, unusual noises) during work with the
SUPERTRONIC, it is essential to immediately press the safety pedal and perform an
EMERGENCY STOP of the machine!
If the machine is running, it is prohibited to hold the workpieces manually or to perform
similar work, and to fit and remove parts such as filters, valves, pipe sections etc!
Only persons who have been instructed on how to operate the machine may carry out
work listed in Chapter 1.1 “Correct use”!
Never operate the machine when tired or when under the influence of alcohol, medicines
or drugs!
Wear safety clothing!
Wear a safety mask to provide protection against splashes of thread-tapping oil as well
as any chlorine gas vapours (from thread-tapping oil burning on hot tool and workpiece
surfaces)!
Wear a safety hat to cover and protect long hair.
Wear safety gloves when changing the thread-tapping jaws, the pipe cutting wheel and
the pipe deburrer.
Wear safety gloves when changing the tool and workpiece. The thread and thread
cutting jaws get hot during thread-tapping!
Wear safety footwear. Risk of injury (slipping) on any escaping thread-tapping oil! Risk
of injury from wet, slippery and possibly off-centre machine parts when changing the
tool!
Do not remove metal and plastic chips using compressed air! There is a risk of eye
injuries and loss of eyesight!
Keep the working area clean and orderly. Disorder at the workplace increases the risk of
accidents and injuries!
Remove hand tools from the machine before switching it on! Risk of accidents and
injury!
Take account of ambient influences! Ensure that the lighting is good! Do not leave
electrical tools out in the rain! Do not use electrical tools in a damp or wet environment!
Risk of electric shock!
Do not use electrical tools near flammable liquids or gases. Risk of detonation and
explosion!
Ensure sufficient ventilation during indoor use (closed rooms).
The permissible ambient temperature is between 0°C and 40°C!
Keep tools in a safe place! When they are not being used, store tools in a dry, locked
room so that they are not accessible to children!

37
Do not allow any persons who are not employed by the company or uninstructed
persons to operate / touch the machine and tools or the mains power cable!
If the machine is not to be used for some time, it is essential to switch it off and to pull
out the mains cable!
Before changing the cutting heads, the cutting wheel, the pipe deburrer, always switch
off the machine and pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation!)!
After it has been switched off, the machine still coasts for a while until it comes to a
standstill.
Do not touch any parts before the machine is completely stationary and the mains plug
has been pulled out!
If the machine is being cleaned, maintained, inspected or repaired , it is essential to
switch it off and to pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation)!
Always avoid uncontrolled starting-up of the machine. Risk of injury and accidents!
Before setting up the thread-tapping machine, read these operating instructions through
carefully and in full. You must fully understand the warnings, instructions and lists they
contain concerning fault-free, safe operation and operating the machine, as well as
those relating to your safety!
Keep the operating instructions in a clean, dry place and within easy reach. If the used
machine is sold, European regulations dictate that these operating instructions must
always be given to the purchaser!
In the case of the threaded pipes, carry out a pressure test in order to ensure that no gas
or water can escape after the pipes are fitted!
