Rothenberger R 100 SP: ENGLISH 13

diameters of 22 and 32 mm by means of an appropriate clamping jaw set. Spirals with a

diameter of 22 to 32 mm can be powered up to a tube diameter of 250 mm.

4.2 Start-up

 Check the electrical connection at the workplace

4.3 Operation (B)

ENGLISH 13

Insertion of the screw into the tube:

 Position the machine at a distance of approx 1 m from the opening of the tube to be

cleaned.

 Connect the mains plug to the appropriate mains power supply.

 Slide guide hose (fig. B-1) onto the stay bolts (rear side of the machine housing) and fasten

by means of wing screws.

 Push spiral into the device and attach a suitable tool to the front (fig. B-2). Select the

appropriate tool for the anticipated type of dirt blockage.

 Using the tool, push the spiral slightly into the tube to be cleaned until a resistance point is

perceptible (blocked point).

 Pull the spiral out of the machine until a slight working bend is created (fig. B-3).

 Switch on the machine by means of the fitted rotational direction reversing switch (2) (right-

hand motion). Please pay attention to the rotational direction!

 Press the created working bend downward by hand in order to assert pressure in the

direction of the blockage.

 Once the pre-stressed working bend has penetrated the tube, relieve the hand lever (1) and

pull the spiral out of the machine in order to create another working bend.

 Form a working bend and repeatedly press the rotating spiral in the direction of the blockage

until the blockage has been removed.

If a tool has become jammed in the tube at the point of the blockage, switch the device to left-

hand motion and release the spiral from the blockage by moving forward and backward.

4.4 Removal of the tube blockage

 After successfully removing the blockage, use one hand to pull the rotating spiral out of the

tube until a slight bend is formed.

 Relieve the hand lever (1) and push the spiral that has come to a standstill back into the

device.

 Operate the hand lever (1) once more to make the spiral rotate again.

 Repeat these working sequences until all spiral segments have been removed from the

tube.

4.5 Attachment / Detachment of the tools / screw (B-2)

Detachment:

Push the attachment key into the hole and press the tool/screw out sideways from the coupling.

Attachment:

Press the tool/screw into the coupling until it locks into position.

4.6 Switching off

 Switch off the machine at the reversing switch (2) and disconnect the main supply.
