TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Ø When transporting the machine, always use the carrying handle.
Ø Ensure the drilling head is at the lowest position.
Ø DO NOT transport the machine with cutters or bits in the tool holder or adapters.
Ø If the coolant bottle is connected, ensure the valve is in the “off” position or the
coolant has been drained.
Ø If transporting inside a vehicle, it is recommended to transport it on its side so as to
avoid the item falling over.
Ø If possible, transport in a case.
Ø DO NOT carry the machine by the cord.
Ø DO NOT allow the cord or plug to drag along the floor when transporting.
RUNNING THE MACHINE
Ø Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1.
Ø Consider your security and stability as well as the orientation of the machine in the
work area.
o Consider the work surface material, condition, strength, density and rigidity.
These factors directly affect the tools magnetic adhesion. Magnetic adhesion
diminishes with thinner material and rough surface. Full magnetic spec’d
adhesion is considered on 1” material. When using on material 3/8” or less,
the drill should be mechanically clamped to the work-piece.
Ø After placing the machine in work area, connect the safety chain.
o The safety chain should attach to the machine (preferably through the
carrying handle) as well as attached to the work area in such a manner that
prevents the machine from detaching or falling from the work area in the
event of magnetic deactivation or lost adhesion.
Ø Ensure the feed handles are securely attached to the feed spindle.
Ø Ensure the work surface and bottom of magnet are free of debris, oil, etc.
Ø Select appropriate size chuck or shank or other to use in the tool holder.
o When inserting the MT3 chuck or Weldon shank into the MT3 tool holder,
make sure to gently tap the bottom of the chuck or shank with a rubber
hammer to ensure it is secure.
o When taking out the MT3 chuck or Weldon shank, use the metal wedge key.
Leading with the narrow side of the key, place into the tool holder wedge slot
(seen in the above picture). If the key does not go in, slowly turn the chuck or
Weldon shank until the wedge key goes though. When it reaches it maximum
point gently tap the backside of the wedge key with a hammer. Make sure to
hold onto the chuck or shank so it does not fall causing damage or injury.
Ø Select and set up oiling method or cutting pastes.
