Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 1. Conventional use The mobile thermal drilling unit (from here on known as Flow2go) includes the enclosed hand drill, stand and tool holder, which is suitable for conventional drilling as well as thermal drilling in thin walled material. The maximum wall thickness for this unit is dependant on the diameter of the hole and thickness of material; the following table shows the maximum wall thickness for the respective thread sizes.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 2. General safety and hazard precautions Before using the hand drill read the enclosed safety precautions (red volume) as well as the instruction manual carefully and completely. Keep all the enclosed documents and only pass on the Flow2go unit together with these documents. Read instruction manual Warning of hazardous electric voltage Use eye protection Warning of hot surface Wear protective gloves Do not expose to rain Wear suitable work clothing 3.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 4. Preparation For the proper functioning of the Flow2go unit when thermal drilling and for industrial safety reasons, the following must be taken into account: 4.1. Mounting the handles on the drill base Please screw the 3 handles enclosed fully up to the stop in the openings provided for this purpose on the capstan shaft. 4.2. Mounting the tool holder Only the enclosed tool holder (see Figure) should be used for thermal drilling.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 5. Use and general application 5.1. Mains power Please check the mains voltage first. The mains voltage indicated on the hand drill must correspond with the electric mains supply. 5.2. Mounting the drill on the drill stand 1. If necessary loosen clamping nut (socket, hexagonal socket head) of the circular clamp. 2. Insert the hand drill unit vertically into the collar as far as the stop. 3. Now hand tighten the clamping screw.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 5.4. Inserting the collet 1. Insert the collet at a slight angle into the screwed cap and turn both using light pressure in opposite directions until the collet perceptibly locks and sits vertically in the screwed cap. The collet should no longer fall out on its own. Nut der Spannzange = Groove of collet, Exzenterring = Eccentric ring, Markierung = Marking 2.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 5.7. Selecting the speed step and presetting the rotational speed The speed step of the work spindle should be selected irrespective of the material and drill diameter in accordance with the following Table: Machine setting Thread Flowdrill Ø [mm] Material thickness max.* Rpm Flowdrill Rpm Flowtap * Tool design “long” Flowdrilling Flowtapping G Hare Highest speed step 5.8.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 5.10. Switching the motor on/off To switch on the motor please press the pushbutton (1) and lock this by pressing in the button on the side (2). (1) (2) To switch off the motor press the pushbutton again as far as the stop – this automatically unlocks it – and release it again. Wait until the motor has come to a complete standstill. 5.11.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling NOTE Please ensure that the component surface is dry or when in the drilling position and is free of water/oil and other strong contaminants. Do not use any unauthorised lubricants or releasing agents for thermal drilling on this mobile drill base! Our special releasing agent FDKS is available as an option for thermal drilling. 5.13. Flowtapping with Flowtap Change the tool and replace the Flowdrill with the Flowtap.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 6. Maintenance 6.1. Flowdrill The friction or contact surfaces of the Flowdrill have the tendency for foreign material to adhere, which in places coats the drill. This adhesion tendency is very material-dependent and cannot be avoided entirely. For this reason clean the Flowdrill regularly with an emery cloth and remove adhesions promptly. New condition 6.2.
Instruction Manual Mobile thermal drilling 6.4. Guide system Regularly check the guide system. This must if necessary be lubricated or readjusted. To readjust please loosen the lock nuts (12) and cylindrical head screws (13) of the guide rail (2) and evenly tighten the adjustment screws (11). Then retighten first the cylindrical head screws and then the lock nuts. Items (2, 11, 12, 13) according to exploded drawing Section 9. 6.5.
