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
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!
