etc, should be removed from the work area before
the machine is positioned. 10 mm is the optimum
material thickness for safe operation. Keep the
magnet clean of metal chips and other dirt and
debris. These can also seriously reduce magnetic
adhesion. The operator should ensure that the
magnet has adhered to the workpiece firmly before
switching on the drill. Always use the supplied
safety strap.
Note: The Magnet has an automatic 2 stage power
feature. When the magnet is first switched on it
will operate at approximately 50% adhesion power,
allowing the operator to make final adjustments to
the machines position. When the motor is started
the magnet will switch to full magnetic adhesion
power.
Supply
The drill should be operated from its own electrical
outlet with a Residual Current Device (RCD)
fitted. If other units share a common supply (such
as an on-site generator) operator care should
be exercised to ensure that the supply to the
magnetic drilling system is never compromised.
Coolant
Before each use always check the coolant feed and
level is sufficient.
Note: The coolant feed can be checked with
the machine in position, but the motor must be
switched off and the cutter stationary and cold.
Never operate without cutting coolant or paste.
Ensure that the coolant feed tap is on and coolant
feeds properly by pushing the pilot pin. If it feeds
too quickly or slowly, adjust the tap accordingly.
Keep the tap closed when not in use.
Adjusting Gibs (Dovetail Slides) Free Play
Periodically check, lubricate and adjust as
necessary.
1. Using the supplied 3mm Hex Key slightly loosen
the 3 cap screws. (Fig. 6A shows 1 of the cap
screws).
2. Using the 2 mm Hex Key supplied turn the 3
adjusting screws (Fig. 6B shows 1 of the adjusting
screws), evenly whilst operating the crank handle
to move the slide up and down.
There should be so no free play, yet no binding
anywhere throughout the range of travel.
3. Re-tighten the 3 cap screws when adjustment
is complete.
OPERATING ADVICE
GB
Note: Do not operate this machine wearing gloves.
Ensure that the machine is connected to a suitable
power supply and any trailing cables do not pose a
safety risk to the operator or other workers on site.
Always attach the safety strap if at all possible.
1. Position the machine using the pilot pin as an aid
to locating the center of the cut.
2. Switch on the magnet using the red switch
located at the back of the machine.
Note: The machines motor will not operate until
the machines magnet has been switched on.
3. Check that the cutter is still in the correct
position and the machine is securely held onto the
workpiece.
4. With the motor head in the raised position,
switch on the motor using the switch on the top of
