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.
d) Make sure that the manometers are seated securely on the oxygen pressure
regulator. Replace damaged manometers only with original Rothenberger replacement
parts.
5) Service
Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original
replacement parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device.
1.3 Special safety instructions
All information marked with is also to be treated as important safety instructions.
The handling of gas welding torches, including fuel gases and oxygen requires expert
knowledge and compliance with these operating instructions. Training and instruction of the
operating personnel in the field of work safety is required.
Prior to putting the equipment into operation, potential hazards at the work place must be
taken into account, such as danger of fire due to readily flammable substances, gases or
liquids. During heating operations, it is important to bear in mind that the heat being created
will expand or rise; heat-conducting material must be cooled as required. Fuel gas / oxygen
mixtures must not be allowed to flow out of the torch in non-ignited form.
These torches comply with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 5172 and have been manufactured
and tested in accordance with state of the art technology. Changes and repairs may not be
performed on the torches without the approval of the manufacturer.
Mixed applications of ROTHENBERGER products with competition products are not
permissible.
