transportation/lifting handle.
• Never carry the Magnetic Drill by the power
cord. Carrying the Magnetic Drill by the
power cord could cause damage to the
insulation or the wire connections resulting
in electric shock or fire.
• Before moving the Magnetic Drill tighten
the auxiliary slide locking screw to guard
against sudden unexpected movement.
• Lock the Drilling Head in its lowest position.
2) BEFORE USING THE MAGNETIC DRILL
• Check the mains cord and plug for any
damage. If damaged it must be replaced
before use.
• Check the complete machine for any signs
of damage. If the machine is damaged it
must not be used until it has been repaired.
• Check the security and condition of the
guard. This machine must not be used
without the guard being fitted.
• Ensure that the feed handles are attached
securely.
• Check that the dovetail slide is correctly
adjusted and operates smoothly without
any binding or excessive sideways
movement. The cutting head should not
fall freely under its own weight.
• Check the condition of the webbing safety
strap and adjustable buckle for any signs of
damage or fraying. If damaged it must be
replaced.
• Check that the secondary/auxiliary slide is
securely locked by the locking lever.
3) ADJUSTING GIBS (Dovetail Slides)
FREE PLAY
Before every use, lubricate and adjust as
necessary. When adjusting the gib the
following procedure must be followed.
• Using the supplied 3mm Hex Key loosen
slightly the 3 cap screws. (Fig 15) With all 3
cap screws loosened, ensure that the main
slide is at the lowest position.
• Using the 2 mm Hex Key supplied turn
the lower and middle adjusting screws to
eliminate any free movement.
• Move the main slide upwards until its top
edge is level with the top of the dovetail
slide way. Turn the upper adjusting screw
to take up any free movement.
• Operate the crank handle to move the slide
up and down. There should be no free play,
yet no binding anywhere throughout the
range of travel.
• If necessary repeat the above procedure
several times to ensure that all free
movement has been eliminated and that
the machine head moves up and down
freely without any binding and without any
side to side movement.
• Re-tighten the 3 cap screws when
adjustment is complete.
4) COOLANTS and LUBRICANTS
The use of coolants or lubricants will ease the
cutting operation and prolong the life of the
cutter and the machine.
• When using coolants or lubricants, ensure
that they do not run down the mains cord
to the mains plug and supply outlet. Do not
allow coolants or lubricants to enter the
machine's ventilation openings.
• When using the machine in an inverted
position or on vertical surfaces use cutting
paste instead of a liquid cutting fluid.
• If the machine is to be used to cut materials
that create dust, such as cast iron, dust
extraction equipment (not supplied) should
be used and/or the operator should wear a
suitable respiratory protection mask.
5) PREPARATION and SETTING UP
The electromagnet on this machine is
designed to adhere to ferrous metallic
surfaces only.
WARNING: The electro magnet fitted to
this machine is a two stage magnet. With
the machine positioned, and the magnet
switched 'ON' but the motor switched 'OFF' the
magnet is at 50% strength. The magnet only
reaches full strength when both the Magnet
and Motor switches are in the 'ON' position.
WARNING: The use on any material whose
thickness is less than that specified in
this Instruction Manual will progressively
reduce the magnetic performance, and
could result in a potentially dangerous
condition arising.
