The ROTHENBERGER Supertronic 2000 E is a cordless pipe threader designed for professional use by sanitary, heating, and air conditioning installers. It is engineered to produce precise pipe threads according to EN 10226 (BSPT R) standard on steel pipes conforming to DIN EN 10255 M-H, covering sizes from R1/4" to 2" (13 mm to 60 mm diameter). This battery-powered variant optimizes mobile use, offering high and constant transmission torque at full load, a 4 times faster return, and easy operation with a large forward and reverse switch. Its eccentric die head support allows for close-to-wall threading, and die heads are held firmly with a direct mounting and retaining ring lock.

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Precaucions de seguretat

• Utilitzeu sempre equips de protecció personal (EPI) adequats, com ara ulleres de seguretat, guants i protecció auditiva.

• Cut the pipe to the desired length, ensuring a clean, square cut.
• Deburr the inside and outside edges of the pipe end to remove sharp edges and facilitate die head engagement.
• Apply a suitable threading oil to the pipe end and the die head. This reduces friction, dissipates heat, and improves thread quality and die life.

3. Threading Process

1. De manera segura clamp the pipe in a vise or using the ROFIX adapter and counter-support.
2. Position the die head squarely onto the end of the pipe.
3. Press the large forward switch to start the threading process. The tool will begin to rotate and cut threads onto the pipe.
4. Maintain steady pressure and continue applying threading oil throughout the process.
5. Once the desired thread length is achieved, release the forward switch.
6. Press the reverse switch to retract the die head from the newly cut threads. The 4 times faster return transmission will expedite this process.
7. Inspect the threads for quality and consistency.
