1.1 Intended use
Thank you for purchasing a Rothenberger brand product. With the high-performance propane
torch for brazing and soldering you have purchased a quality product.
1.2 General safety instructions
ATTENTION! All instructions must be read. Errors due to non-compliance with the
instructions below can cause fire and/or severe injury. It is absolutely mandatory to
comply with the legal safety regulations and technical guidelines. Damages due to
operator error void the warranty.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE.
1) Work
area
a) Keep your work area neat and clean. Messy or poorly lit work areas can lead to
accidents.
b) Do not work with the device in explosive environments containing flammable
liquids, gases or dusts. Tools create sparks that can ignite the dust, fumes or gases.
Make sure ventilation is adequate. If possible, do not work in closed spaces.
c) Keep children and other people away from the tool during use. If you are
distracted, you can lose control of the device.
d) Do not misuse the hoses for carrying or hanging the device. Keep the hoses
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the device. Damaged or
tangled hoses increase the risk of explosion.
e) Keep the device free of oil and grease. In pure oxygen, oils and greases of any kind
can explode on their own. Do not place the device near heat sources (heaters, ovens,
open flames, etc.).
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, pay attention to what you do, and work sensibly with any tool. Do
not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A single moment of distraction when using the machine can lead to serious
injury.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety glasses. Depending on
the tool type and application, wearing personal safety equipment, such as slip-resistant
safety shoes, flame-resistant clothing and safety glasses decreases the risk of injury.
c) Do not be overconfident. Make sure to stand securely and always keep your
balance. This allows you to control the device better in unexpected situations.
d) Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can get caught in moving parts.
4) Careful handling and use of tools
a) Keep unused tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow anyone to use the
device who is not familiar with it or who has not read its instructions. Tools are
dangerous when used by inexperienced persons.
b) Maintain the device with care. Check to see whether the device’s parts are
operating properly and do not jam. See whether parts are broken or damaged
enough to affect the device’s operation. Have the damaged parts repaired
before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
c) Never leave the brazing tool unsupervised during use. There is an acute risk of fire.
5) Service
Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original
replacement parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device.
