General Safety Rules
WARNING!
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
„power tool“ in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool, also
machines and electric units. Only use the power tool for the purpose for
which it was intended, with the due attention to the general safety and
accident prevention regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
A) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
B) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock. If the power tool comes with an earthed wire, the plug may
only be connected to an earthed receptacle. At work sites, in damp
surroundings, in the open or in the case of comparable types of use, only
operate the power tool off the mains using a 30 mA fault current
protected switch (FI breaker).
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
C) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
h) Only allow trained personnel to use the power tool.
Apprentices may
only operate the power tool when they are over 16, when this is neces-
sary for their training and when they are supervised by a trained
operative.
D) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired by
a qualified expert or by an authorised ROLLER after-sales service
facility before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Secure the workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. This
is safer than holding it with your hand, and also it frees both hands to
operate the equipment.
h) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. All unautho-
rised modifications to the power tool are prohibited for safety reasons.
E) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery
pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
c) Use battery tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals may cause bums or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery,
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or bums.
f) Do not use the battery/charger at battery/charger temperatures or
ambient temperatures of
5°C/40°F or
b
40°C/105°F.
g) Do not dispose defective batteries in the normal domestic waste.
Take them to an authorised ROLLER after-sales service facility or to
a reputed waste disposal company.
F) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b) Comply with maintenance instructions and instructions on tool
replacements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool regularly and have it replaced by a
qualified expert or an authorised ROLLER after-sales service facility
in case of damage. Check extension cable regularly and replace it
when damaged.
Specific Safety Instructions
•
Use only genuine ROLLER die heads.
•
Always use the counter-steady (3), otherwise it is possible for the machine
to be wrenched out of the hands and overturned as increasing torque is ap-
plied.
•
ROLLER’S thread-cutting oils in spray cans (ROLLER’S Smaragdol,
ROLLER’S Rubinol 2000) are environment-friendly but contain combustible
propellant (butane). Spray cans are pressurized – do not force open. Also,
protect them from exposure to strong sunlight and heating above 50°C.
•
Due to the degreasing effect of the cooling lubricants (thread-cutting oils),
