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, unusual noises) during work with the
ROPOWER 50R, 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!
Wear safety clothing! Wear a safety mask to provide protection against splashes of thread-
tapping oil as well as any chlorine gas vapours (from thread-tapping oil burning on hot tool and
workpiece surfaces)! Wear a safety hat to cover and protect long hair. Wear safety gloves when
changing the thread-tapping jaws, the pipe cutting wheel and the pipe deburrer. Wear safety
gloves when changing the tool and workpiece. The thread and thread cutting jaws get hot
during thread-tapping! Wear safety footwear. Risk of injury (slipping) on any escaping thread-
tapping oil! Risk of injury from wet, slippery and possibly off-centre machine parts when
changing the tool!
Do not remove metal and plastic chips using compressed air! There is a risk of eye injuries and
loss of eyesight!
Ensure sufficient ventilation during indoor use (closed rooms). The permissible ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C!
Before changing the cutting heads, the cutting wheel, the pipe deburrer, always switch off the
machine and pull out the mains plug (de-energised operation!)!
After it has been switched off, the machine still coasts for a while until it comes to a standstill.
Do not touch any parts before the machine is completely stationary and the mains plug has
been pulled out!
In the case of the threaded pipes, carry out a pressure test in order to ensure that no gas or
water can escape after the pipes are fitted!
