For the automatic thread-tapping head:
Lower the thread-tapping head and insert the T handle, pressing in fully in the "B" direction
until the thread-tapping jaws engage in the working position
Switch on the machine with the pedal; turn the rotary handle anti-clockwise so that the
thread jaws press onto the workpiece.
Release the rotary handle when 2 to 3 thread turns are cut.
The thread-tapping jaws open automatically via a longitudinal stop lever when the thread has
been fully cut.
Switch off the machine by taking your foot off the safety pedal.
For the standard thread-tapping head:
Lower the thread-tapping head and move the opening and closing lever (1) down towards
you.
Switch on the machine with the pedal, turn the rotary handle clockwise so that the thread
jaws press on the workpiece.
Release the rotary handle when two to three threads have been cut.
With the machine running, slowly move the opening and closing lever (1) up when the
required number of threads has been cut, so as to end the cutting process by slowly opening
the thread jaws.
If the thread jaws are opened jerkily, steps can be created in the last section of the thread,
with the result that the thread is faulty!

Setting the thread length (only Automatic thread-tapping head)
The thread length was set by the manufacturer but can be changed if
required.
Turn the parking handle in the "C" direction until it engages.
Release the block screw and move the parking lever to adjust
the thread length. For a longer thread, pushes it in the "D"
direction and for a shorter thread push it in the "E" direction.
The thread length can be changed by approximately 2 mm
per scale division.
Gently tighten the block screw and bring the parking lever
into the starting position by pushing the profile pin in the "F"
direction.
Then tighten the screw to lock the parking lever.

Setting the thread depth (only automatic thread-tapping head)
Undo the block screw, (only for SUPERTRONIC 2 SE: block
screw with which the selector block is secured on the cam plate)
and Move the selector block to adjust the thread depth.
For a deeper thread, push in the "H" direction and for a flatter
thread push in the "G" direction. The thread depth can be
changed down or up by 1.5 to 2 mm per scale division.
Only for SUPERTRONIC 2 SE: Fix the selector block by tightening
the block screw and start cutting the thread.
With the aid of a measuring instrument, check the cut pipe for
a tapered thread etc. and correct the setting if necessary.
