4. Using the machine
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn the machine off and disconnect
the machine from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories
4.1 Control panel
The control panel on our magnetic drilling machine is designed for maximum ease of use and safet .
1. Magnet switch
2. Speed control knob
3. Fuse holder
4. Magnet LED indicator
5. Motor switch
6. L/R switch
4.2 Electromagnet
Make sure the magnetic drilling machine is placed on a smooth, clean, level and solid surface without
an objects or debris to guarantee maximum adhesion.
The workpiece must at least be 6 mm (1/4") thick for the magnet to stick and to drill safel . In case
the workpiece is between 3 mm (1/8") and 6 mm (1/4"), make sure to make a proper base to create
a good magnetic field as shown below.
[image 4
-
1]

17
[image 4-2]
The electromagnet will work best on surfaces of at least 10 mm (3/8") thickness.
When the electromagnet is not able to create a good enough magnetic field, this ma be caused b :
-Surface not being flat;
-Workpiece is not magnetisable (e.g. aluminium);
-Workpiece is coated or painted;
-Workpiece is not thick enough.
In this situation the magnet indicator will light up red. Make sure to solve an of these matters
before proceeding in an wa and creating unsafe situations.
2-Way electromagnet
This machine is equipped with a 2-wa magnet function. At half of the magnetic force (1,500 kg), the
magnet sufficientl sticks to the surface to hold the machine in position while not in use. More
importantl , it consumes less energ , generates less heat and as a consequence will last longer. Onl
with full magnetic force (3,000 kg) the machine can be used for drilling.
Using the 2-way magnet:
1. Place and position the machine on the workpiece;
2. To activate the magnet at half of the magnetic force, press the RED magnet switch. The
magnet switch will be lit. The magnet LED indicator lights up GREEN when the generated
magnetic force is sufficient to hold the machine in position while not drilling;
3. For full magnetic force, press the GREEN motor switch (see next paragraph);
4. To deactivate the magnet, first press the RED motor switch to return to half magnetic force
and then press the RED magnet switch again.
WARNING: Do not use this machine when LED indicator is RED Magnet may not generate
sufficient attachment force

18
We want to point out that above mentioned precautions and indicators do not guarantee that the
magnet will not release from the material. EUROBOOR accepts no liability when it comes to the
magnet indicator not functioning or functioning poorly.
Make sure that the magnet attaches tightl to the work piece before turning on the motor unit of the
magnetic drilling machine. EUROBOOR magnets have two coils; make sure that both coils are in
contact with the material. Do not connect an other machine to the same electrical outlet to which
the magnetic drilling machine is plugged into, as it ma result in the loss of magnetic force.
Swivel base (ECO.1 S+/TD only)
With the magnet properl attached to the workpiece, the swivel base allows ou to rotate the
machine 30⁰ to left and right, and slide it 15-20 mm forward and backwards, relative to the magnet,
for more precise positioning of the drill. To swivel the machine, loosen the screw below the frame
handle with the provided 8 mm Allen ke . Determine the preferred position and fix the screw before
drilling.
Alwa s use the safet chain included. Drilling above our head is extremel dangerous and is not
recommended. For the use of magnetic drilling machines on pipes, not-flat or non-magnetic
materials, we refer to our catalogue or our website www.euroboor.com where several vacuum
tightening s stems, pipe clamping s stems and Tube machines can be found.
