4 INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERATION 4.1 INSTALLATION 1. Remove the equipment from the original packing. 2. Anchor the base (1) using 3 M10 bolts (2) (Recommended torque 45Nm) suited to the chosen installation site (alternative methods may be used if approved by the installer). 3.
4.2 MODULE CHANGEOVER 1. Place the machine in the folded or parked position. 2. To remove the module: Rotate the chuck to the right (B) (align the red dots). Remove the module. 3. To insert the module: Insert the module (align the red dots). Rotate the chuck to the left (A) (lock: align the green and red dots).
4.3 ADJUSTMENTS 4.3.1 ADJUSTING MOTOR TURNING SPEED The motor turning speed can be adjusted using the dials on the electronic component housing. To increase or decrease the tapping speed (clockwise direction): 1- Turn the dial marked RIGHT to the left or right as required. 2- A value of 50 indicates 50% of rated speed.
Raising the arm: 1. Position the tilting arm in its locking. 2. Raise the machine assembly as far as it will go. Lowering the arm: 1. Position the tilting arm in its locking. 2. Pull the lift control out and lower the assembly. Do not allow the machine to descend under its own weight.
If the tank is empty, the pipes may fill with air. In this case, they must be bled after the tank is refilled. 1. Loosen the end (1) by rotating it 2 turns anticlockwise. 2. Increase the lubrication time to maximum and turn the motor several times until the pipes have been bled.
4.5 BALANCING THE ARM Adjust the tension on the inner damper if the arm drops down or has too much upward force. 1- Keep the swing arm in an approximately horizontal position to facilitate operation. 2- Turn the knob provided for this purpose as required. •...
4.6 DEPTH CONTROL (OPTIONAL) By means of an internal encoder, the machine controls the position of the arm vertically downwards (Z-axis) in mm so that the desired tapping depth can be controlled. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ✓ The depth control system only operates when working vertically. It is not possible to use the depth control horizontally.

4.6.5 How to change program To change program, both buttons on the display must be pressed for about 6 seconds until the selection menu is activated. Then use the (+) or (-) buttons until the desired program is found. Once the program has been selected, wait 2 seconds for it to be activated. 4.6.6 Define point of origin "0"...
5 OPERATION WARNING ✓ The sequence described below is for information purposes only and assumes the installation, adjustments such as balancing the arm and installing the module, gears (where applicable), tap holder (with or without clutch) and tap have been previously completed. ✓...

INFORMATION The machine incorporates a screen with a cycle counter. When you turn on the equipment, appears the total cycle counter. Once you start to work, on the screen will appear a partial counter during the working session. To view the total counter, you have to turn off the equipment, wait for 5 seconds and turn on the equipment again.
6 HEAD ASSEMBLIES 6.1 ARTICULATED HEAD ASSEMBLY The articulated head assembly allows the motor to be used in 4 positions (at 90° intervals) to perform both vertical and horizontal tapping. Vertical operations: 1- Align the motor vertically and firmly tighten the handle (1) and handwheel (2) as far as they allow.
7 MAINTENANCE 7.1 REPLACING THE GAS SPRING BEFORE REPLACING THE GAS SPRING ✓ The equipment must be correctly installed and set-up. ✓ Switch off the equipment at the main switch and disconnect from the power supply. ✓ Always keep the arm in its highest position. 1- Turn the regulator knob (1) clockwise as far as it will go to release all tension from the arm.
7.2 REPLACING THE GRIP AND BUTTONS BEFORE REPLACING THE GRIP ✓ The equipment must be correctly installed and set-up. ✓ Switch off the equipment at the main switch and disconnect from the power supply. 1- Place the machine in the folded or parked position. 2- Switch off at the main switch and unplug from the power supply.
7.3 REPLACING THE OIL PUMP ONLY FOR MACHINES FITTED WITH THIS DEVICE BEFORE REPLACING THE OIL PUMP ✓ The equipment must be correctly installed and set-up. ✓ Switch off the equipment at the main switch and disconnect from the power supply. Raise the machine [see ADJUSTING THE BASE HEIGHT p.16].
7.4 REPLACING THE VARIABLE-SPEED DRIVE BEFORE REPLACING THE VARIABLE-SPEED DRIVE ✓ The equipment must be correctly installed and set-up. ✓ Switch off the equipment at the main switch and disconnect from the power supply. 1. Raise the machine [see ADJUSTING THE BASE HEIGHT p.16].
7.5 ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH 1. Remove the locking ring. 2. Turn the slotted nut clockwise to increase clutch tension and anticlockwise to decrease it. 3. Re-insert the ring in the slot. ROSCAMAT TIGER...
