7 Start bringing the twist drill to the workpiece but handle with care and do not apply too
much pressure. The drill has to find its way in to the material by itself. It is not necessary to
use a lot of pressure. Too much pressure will cause damage and breakage.
8 After the cutting is finished switch the machine off by pushing the red button.
3.5 Tapping / threading
With models FE 32 R/L, FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L you are able to make a thread in the drilled hole. All
3 models have a reverse option. Only model FE 100 R/L has the possibility to make thread in “blind”
holes. FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L drilling units are equipped with a direct Morse taper connection. A
tap chuck can be inserted to this connection.
Model FE 32 R/L can only make threads using the tap holder inserts (picture 2). Tap holders DIN376
M10, M12 and M14 are standard delivered with every FE 32 R/L and FE 50 R/L.
Available sizes:
DIN376: M8, M10, M12, M14, M16, M18, M20, M22-24, M27, M30
ISO529: M8, M10, M12, M14, M16, M18, M20, M22-24, M27, M30

Variable speed for FE 32 R/L is placed on the control panel. The variable speed adjust of FE
50 R/L and FE 100 R/L can be found on the side of the drilling unit. First set the correct gear,
after adjust the variable speed.
TIP:
If possible, always select a setting with low transmission ratio and high motor speed.
6 Start the motor by pressing the green motor start button.
