repeat this procedure.
►Make sure that swarf is removed regu-
larly. With larger drilling depths, break
up the swarf.
Thread cutting
The machine is equipped with reversible
direction of rotation and can also be used
for cutting threads.
In order to cut threads, proceed as follows:
Drill the hole for the thread.
Switch o󰀨 the machine and set the
lowest gear stage and speed.
Using
Set the direction of rotation to clock-
wise (right = R) at switch (24).
Tighten the drill tap in the machine
using the appropriate drill tap adapter.
Switch on the machine and place the
drill tap onto the drilled hole.
Use the hand lever (11) without ex-
erting pressure to guide the machine
until the desired thread length has
been cut.
Switch o󰀨 the machine and set the
direction of rotation to anti-clockwise
(left = L) at switch (24).
Switch on the machine again and al-
low the drill tap to completely emerge
out of the workpiece. Then use the
hand lever (11) to guide the machine
slide upwards in order to avoid dam-
aging the top of the thread.
Reaming/counter-sinking
Thanks to its wide range of operating
speeds, the machine can also be used for
reaming or counter-sinking.
ATTENTION
►When reaming and counter-sinking,
observe the limits stated in the techni-
cal data for the tools to be used.
►Do countersinking manually because
the automatic feed unit does not have
a drilling depth setting.
