Checking The Thread Cutting Oil; Setting The Supplied Thread Cutting Oil Quantity; Draining Off The Oil - Rothenberger ROPOWER 50 R Instrucciones De Uso

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 dis-
plays 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 imme-
diately and consult a doctor without delay!
