ROTHENBERGER ROPOWER 50 R - Manual (Page 26)

22 ENGLISH
 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 anti-clockwise in order to
move the tool carriage to the clamping chuck.
 On the right side of the machine, fill up with the
thread cutting 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 cutting oil runs out of the die head to the
dies. If the right amount of oil is not supplied,
regulate it with the oil adjustment screw.
4.6 Setting the supplied thread cutting oil quantity
When cleaning, servicing, inspecting or repairing the machine, it is essential to
switch it off and pull out the mains plug (de-energized operation)!
 Ensure that the oil tank is filled with oil up to the
level of the sieve mesh.
 If the amount of thread cutting oil running via
the die head does not meet the requirements,
the supplied amount must be adjusted with the
aid of the oil adjustment screw.
 Undo the locking nut of the oil adjustment
screw.
 Turning the oil adjustment screw clockwise
increases the amount of oil delivered and turn-
ing it anti-clockwise reduces the amount.
 Tighten the locking nut firmly after making the
adjustment.
4.7 Draining off the oil
It is essential to also observe
the safety and disposal regula-
tions in Chapter 9!
5 Operation of the threading machine
5.1 Clamping the workpieces (B)
The tool carriage can make contact with the frame before the thread cutting process
has ended and the clamping chuck and the machine can be damaged as a result! A
clearance of at least 70 mm must therefore be maintained between the thread cut on
the workpiece and the clamping chuck!
