OPERATION
This machine is designed specifically for drilling
holes in mild steel using the appropriate cutters
and accessories. It should not be modified or
used for any application other than for which it
was intended, including powering other
equipment.
Ensure that the total work area can be viewed
from the operating position. Use barriers to keep
people away.
1. Check that the coolant level and the feed rate
are sufficient to complete the hole to be
drilled. Never operate without cutting coolant.
2. Install the desired bit or cutter for the
operation.
3. Verify that the magnet is clean and free of
metal chips and other dirt and debris. These
will seriously reduce the magnetic adhesion.
IMPORTANT:
The drill’s magnetic
adhesion depends on the thickness of the work
piece. 1/2" (12.7mm) is optimum thickness for
safe operation.
4. Position the machine using the pilot pin as an
aid to locate the center of the cut.
5. Secure the safety chain.
6. Switch on the magnet and check that the cutter is still in the correct position and the machine
is securely held to the work piece.
Ensure that the magnet has adhered to the work piece firmly before switch on the drill.
Always use the supply safety chain.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
When handling large heavy material make sure they are properly supported.
