1 Safety information
1.1 Correct use
The thread-tapping machine SUPERTRONIC 2 SE; 3 SE and 4 SE may only be used for cutting
off and deburring and making bolt threads 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, and
with thread-tapping jaws as described in Chapter 2 “Technical data”.
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 General safety instructions
ATTENTION! When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures must
be taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire.
Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety
instructions properly.
Service and maintenance:
1 Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication. Always pull the electrical plug before any
adjustment, maintenance or repair.
2 Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original
replacement parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device.
Working safely:
1 Keep your work area orderly. A messy work area can cause accidents.
2 Consider environmental influences. Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use
electric tools in damp or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric
tools where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
3 Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as
pipes, radiators, electric stoves or cooling devices).
4 Keep other people away. Do not let other people — especially children — touch the
electric tool or its cable. Keep them clear of the work area.
5 Store electric tools safely when they are not in use. Unused electric tools should be kept
in a dry, high or closed area, out of reach of children.
6 Do not overload your electric tool. Work is better and safer within the performance range
indicated.
7 Use the right electric tool. Don't use low-performance machines for heavy-duty jobs. Do
not use the electric tool for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use
a portable circular saw for cutting tree branches or logs.
8 Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as they can get caught in
moving parts. When working outdoors, wear slip-resistant shoes. Wear a hairnet over long
hair.
ENGLISH 21

9 Use protective gear. Wear safety glasses. Wear a breathing mask during work that creates
dust.
10 Connect the dust extraction equipment. If there are connections to dust extraction and
collection equipment, make sure that they are connected and properly used.
11 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it was not intended. Never use the cable
to pull the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12 Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly. They will hold it
more securely than your hand can.
13 Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure to stand securely and always keep your balance.
14 Maintain your tools with care. For better and safer work, keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Follow the instructions for lubrication and changing tools. Regularly inspect the electric
tool's connection cable, and if it is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized expert.
Regularly check extension cords, and replace them if they are damaged. Keep the handles
dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
15 Pull the plug from the socket. When not using the electric tool, before maintenance or
when changing tools, such as saw blades, drills and cutting bits.
16 Do not leave any tool keys inserted. Before switching on, check to see that keys and
adjustment tools have been removed.
17 Avoid unintentional activation. When plugging the tool in, make sure that the switch is
turned off.
18 Use outdoor extension cords. When outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved
and appropriately marked.
19 Be alert. Pay attention to what you do. Approach your work sensibly. Do not use the electric
tool when you are distracted.
20 Check the electric tool for damage. Before using the electric tool, you must inspect safety
equipment or slightly damaged parts carefully to ensure that they work properly and as
intended. Check to see that the moving parts operate freely and don't stick, and to make
sure no parts are damaged. All parts must be mounted properly and meet all the conditions
for ensuring trouble-free operation of the electric tool.
Damaged safety equipment and parts must be properly repaired or replaced by a professional
facility, unless otherwise indicated in the user manual. Damaged switches must be replaced
by a customer service facility.
Never use an electric tool whose switch cannot be turned on and off.
21 Caution. Using other insertion tools and accessories may cause injury.
22 Have your tool repaired by an electrical expert. This electric tool meets applicable safety
requirements. Repairs must be made only by an electrical expert using original replacement
parts. Otherwise accidents many occur.
22 ENGLISH

1.3 Safety information
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!
In the event of faults (unusual smell, vibrations, and 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!

3.3 Accessories
The relevant accessories and an order form can be found from Page 276 onwards.
4 Preparations for operation
4.1 Transporting the thread-tapping machine
Bend at the knees when lifting the machine so as to protect your back against
over-stressing.
Fix the tool carriage so that it cannot move while the machine is being transported. Hold the
machine securely by its base to lift it. Do not hold the machine by its centring chuck or the
internal deburrer when carrying it!
If the machine is transported with the thread-tapping oil still inside, the oil might splash
out onto clothing due to vibrations!
Thread-tapping oil on the surface of the machine makes it slippery. Ensure that it does
not slip out of your hands when you lift it!
4.2 Setting up the machine
Set up the machine in a dry location!
Place the machine on a level surface without
spaces or on a flat work bench. The centring
chuck must be higher in relation to other parts
of the machine so that no thread-tapping
Higher Lowe
r
oil can escape via the pipe being
machined and contaminate the floor!
If you do not have a clear view of the dangerous area formed by the machine
and the revolving workpiece, the full length of the revolving workpieces must
be reduced or the dangerous area must be safeguarded by a cordon or warning
signs! The safety fixtures must be set up and secured firmly. If supports are used
for this purpose, they must be height-adjustable and sturdy and there must be a
sufficient number of them!
ENGLISH 25

4.3 Electrical connection
Do not place either the machine or workpieces on the connecting cable, otherwise
the cable could be damaged and electrical current could be exposed, presenting an
electric shock hazard!
Never touch the mains plug and mains cable with wet hands. Electric shock
hazard!
When connecting the machine to the electricity supply, always ensure that the
switch is set to “OFF” ”, otherwise there is a risk that the machine will start up
unnoticed and unsupervised when the power is connected!
It is essential that the voltage on the machine’s rating plate corresponds to the
power source, otherwise the machine could get hot, smoke could develop, start a
fire and cause damage!
The integrated overload protection automatically stops the machine in the event of
an overload or power fluctuations! Switching back on is not possible until one
minute has elapsed!
Use the extension cable H07 RN 3 x 1.5 mm2! The cable should not be longer than
30m!
4.4 The thread-tapping oil
For tapping, use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread-tapping oil art. no. 6.5010.
This oil is not suitable for tapping drinking water pipes!
Alternatively, you can use ROTHENBERGER high-performance thread-tapping fluid,
art. no. 6.5015. This fluid is suitable for tapping all pipelines including drinking water
pipelines.
Keep thread-tapping oils out of the reach of children!
Do not thin thread-tapping oil or mix it with other oils! If the thread-tapping oil becomes
mixed with water, it turns milky-white, its quality is reduced and the tapped thread displays
lower quality. It is then recommended to change the oil!
Avoid direct sunlight and store the oil in a dark place!
Close the oil container tight after use in order to prevent the ingress of dirt and water!
ATTENTION PERSONS WITH ALLERGIES!
Thread-tapping oil that lands on the skin can cause skin irritation, inflammation and
allergic reactions! When handling oil, wear protective clothing and cover exposed skin
areas. If your skin comes into contact with oil, wash it immediately with tap water and
soap. If thread-tapping oil burns onto hot workpiece or tool surfaces, this can produce
toxic vapours or gases (e.g. chlorine gas when red oil burns). If you have accidentally
inhaled this oil mist or oil vapours, go out into the fresh air immediately and consult a
doctor without delay!

4.5 Checking the thread-tapping oil
When cleaning, servicing, inspecting or repairing the machine, it is essential
to switch it off and pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation)!
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 (6) anti-clockwise in order to
move the tool carriage (4) to the clamping chuck (8).
On the right side of the machine, fill up with the thread
Filter
tapping oil to the level of the sieve mesh.
Ensure that the machine is still switched off and insert
Rotary handle
the mains plug back into the socket.
Switch on the machine and ensure that the thread-tapping oil runs out of the thread-tapping
head to the cutting jaws. If the right amount of oil is not supplied, regulate it with the oil
adjustment screw.
4.6 Setting the supplied thread-tapping oil quantity
When cleaning, servicing, inspecting or repairing the machine, it is essential to
switch it off and pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation)!
Ensure that the oil tank is filled with oil up to the level
Locking nut
of the sieve mesh.
If the amount of thread-tapping oil running via the
thread-tapping 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 turning it anti-
clockwise reduces the amount.
Tighten the locking nut firmly after making the
adjustment.
4.7 Draining off the oil

5 Operation of the thread-tapping machine
5.1 Clamping the workpieces B
The tool carriage can make contact with the frame before the tapping 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!

Clamping chuck
Pipe
Move the pipe cutter and the thread-tapping head up so that they are not in the way and
position the internal deburrer on the rear side.
Insert the workpiece from the centring chuck side (fig. 1) and tighten the centring chuck
(fig. 2).
Hold the workpiece on the clamping chuck side securely with your right hand and gradually
tighten it with the clamping chuck (fig. 3).
Ensure that the three clamping jaws are in contact with the workpiece.
If the three clamping jaws are not in contact with the workpiece, it will wobble and
neither cutting nor thread-tapping can be performed correctly.
Clamp the workpiece securely and tighten it very firmly.
In the case of long or heavy pipes, it is essential to use the pipe support Art. No.
5.6047 in order to prevent the workpiece wobbling or twisting while it is being
turned and to prevent the machine from tipping over due to the weight of the
workpiece! Otherwise, the workpiece and the machine can become unstable!
5.2 Cutting the workpiece with the pipe cutter C
Do not touch the cutting surface with bare hands, because it is hot and has sharp
edges! Risk of injury and burning!
If the handle of the pipe cutter is turned with force, the cutting surface of the pipe
takes an oval shape, which makes correct thread-tapping impossible. Therefore,
move the handle of the pipe cutter half a turn per whole pipe rotation!
Move the pipe cutter up so that it is not in the way. Turn the feeder hand wheel anti-
clockwise in order to bring the pipe cutter into the position necessary for cutting the
workpiece.
Move the pipe cutter down onto the workpiece and then press the ON switch or press the
pedal.
Turn the handle of the pipe cutter powerfully clockwise and start to cut the workpiece.
Swivel the pipe cutter down and back again.
Do not collect the cut pipes in the trough! Take them out of the trough immediately
after the cutting process ends!
5.3 Reaming the workpieces D
The cutting tip of the internal deburrer is very sharp! Do not touch it with
bare hands! Risk of cutting and injury!
Pull the internal deburrer towards you.
Turn the feeder hand wheel anti-clockwise and gently press the cutting edge of the reamer
against the inside of the pipe in order to ream.
Turn the rotary handle further and gently press the cutting edge of the reamer against the
inside of the pipe in order to ream.
