Manual magnetic drilling machines
7 Start bringing the tap to the workpiece but handle with care and do not apply pressure.
When the tap touches the material it is automatically pulled into the material. After you will
have to use minimum pressure to feed the tap. Too much pressure will cause damage and
breakage.
8 After the tapping is finished switch the machine to reverse and the tap will be retracted.
TIP:
In order to protect the first thread cut, rotate the motor slide upwards after you have retracted
the tap out of the material.

To adjust speed first set the required gear using the gear switch on the side of the gearbox. After the
speed can be fine-tuned using the rotary switch on the side of the drilling unit (FE 50 R/L, FE 100 R/L)
or on the control panel (FE 32 R/L).
With model FE 100 R/L the torque setting can be electronically controlled by means of the rotary
switch. If the setting is reduced, the machine will switch off in case of increased load. It is
recommended to test this during the first applications so that cutter breakage is avoided if the user
is unskilled.
TIP:
After the machine stops, caused by the torque control, you have to press the 0 on the motor
on/off switch before you can turn on the machine again.
In case of blocking. model FE 100 R/L is extra protected by a safety clutch.
