WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate magnetic drilling machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Magnetic drilling machine may create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a magnetic drilling machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFET
1. Magnetic drilling machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not us any adapter plugs.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose magnetic drilling machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the magnetic drilling machine or pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a magnetic drilling machine, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a magnetic drilling machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFET
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a magnetic drilling
machine. Do not use machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating magnetic drilling machines may result
in serious personal injury.

5
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying magnetic drilling
machines with your finger on the switch or plugging in magnetic drilling machines that have
the switch on invites accidents.
4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near cutting area or rotating machine parts.
5. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the magnetic drilling machine in unexpected situations.
7. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
8. Always use supplied safety chain during any work on non-horizontal components. Mounting
can release.
MACHINE USE AND CARE
1. When using the machine on non-horizontal surfaces, you must use cutting paste. Do not use
oil because the oil can drip into the motor unit
2. During machine operations, the annular cutter must be cooled and lubricated with good
quality cutting or lubrication oil. Remove the slug from the annular cutter after each hole.
Caution, the slug may be hot!
3. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4. Do not use machine if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
5. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
6. Store idle magnetic drilling machines out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
7. Maintain machines with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
8. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the machine operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
9. Use only accessories that are recommended by Euroboor for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one machine, may become hazardous when used on another machine.

4.4 Electromagnet
Make sure the magnetic drilling machine is placed on a smooth, clean, level and solid surface without
any objects or dubree in between to guarantee maximum adhesion
The workpiece must be at least 5 mm thick for the magnet to stick, but minimal 3 mm thick to hold
the weight of the machine and to drill safely. In case the workpiece is between 3 and 5 mm, make
sure to make a proper base to create a good magnetic field as shown in image 2-6.
[image 2-6]
The electromagnet will work best on surfaces of at least 10 mm thickness.
The electromagnet may not be able to create a good enough magnetic field. Causes may be:
-Surface not flat
-Workpiece not magnetizable (e.g. aluminium)
-Workpiece coated or painted
-Workpiece not thick enough
In this situation the magnet indicator will light up red. Make sure to solve any of these matters
before proceeding in any way and creating unsafe situations
1. Connect the machine to the mains/work piece
2. To activate the magnet, press the red magnet switch
The magnet switch will be lit (red)
The LED indicator lights up GREEN when generated magnetic force is sufficient
3. To deactivate the magnet, press the same switch again
WARNING: Do not use this machine when LED indicator is RED. Magnet may not generate
sufficient attachment force

18
We need to point out that this is only an indication and not a certainly that the magnet will not
release from the material. Euroboor accepts no liability ensuring from the magnet indicator not
functioning or functioning poorly.
Make sure that the magnet attaches tightly to the work piece before turning on the motor unit of the
magnetic drilling machine. Euroboor magnets have 2 coils; make sure that both coils are in contact
with the material. Do not connect any other machines to the electrical outlet the magnetic drilling
machine is plugged into, as it may result in the loss of magnetic force.
Always use the safety chain included. Drilling above your head is extremely dangerous and is not
recommended.
4.5 Switching motor on and off
The motor unit can only be switched ON when the magnet is activated. To switch the motor ON,
press the green button with marking “I”. To switch the motor OFF, press the red button with marking
“O”.
4.6 Temperature control
The ECO.50S is equipped with an all-time electronic temperature protection. If the temperature of
the motor unit runs up to 70 Degree Celsius the motor unit will stop. After a few minutes it can be
started again.
When it is possible to start the motor again, let the motor run idle at full speed for a couple of
minutes to let the motor cool down more in an efficient way.
4.7 Tool lubrication
IN HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS
In order to use the lubrication system, the tank must be filled with a cutting fluid or oil
1. Make sure the flow regulator is closed
2. Unscrew the cap
3. Fill the container with cutting fluid or oil
4. Screw the cap back on
•Adjust the fluid flow as required using the flow regulator;
•Add more cutting fluid if the shavings (metal chips) become blue.

19
VERTICAL AND OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS
Dip the cutter in cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray.
WARNING: Do not use the lubrication system in vertical or overhead drilling applications.
Instead use Euroboor cutting paste
Make sure to use only suitable cutting oil or fluid. Euroboor offers a wide range of cutting lubricants
for all tool and material combinations. Proper cooling will help you create better and faster results,
and extend the lifetime of your tools.

20
5 Working with operation tools
5.1 Annular cutters
Annular cutters only cut material at the periphery of the hole, rather than converting the entire hole
to shavings. As a result, the energy required to make a hole is lower than for a twist drill.
When drilling with an annular cutter, it is not necessary to drill a pilot hole.
WARNING: Do not touch the cutter or the parts close to the cutter immediately after
operation, as they may be extremely hot and cause burns to the skin. Ensure nobody is in the
work area where the metal core is ejected.
DRILLING CONDITIONS
The ease with which material can be drilled depends on several factors including tensile strength and
abrasion resistance. Whilst hardness and/or strength is the usual criterion, wide variations in
machinability can exist among material showing similar physical properties.
The drilling conditions are dependent on requirements for tool life and surface finish. These
conditions are further restricted by the rigidity of the tool and the work piece, lubrication and
machine power available. The harder the material, the lower the cutting speed.
Some materials of low hardness contain abrasive substances leading to rapid cutting edge wear at
high speeds. Feed rates are governed by rigidity of set-up, volume of material to be removed, surface
finish and available machine power.
DRILLING A HOLE
Now that you have read the explanatory information and safety recommendations above, you are
ready to actually start drilling. Follow these 12 steps for best drilling result :
1.Install the annular cutter
-Place the pilot pin into the cutter
-Align the flat faces on the cutter shank with the screws in the tool holder
-Make sure the cutter shank is entered fully and correctly (1)
-Tighten the screws (2)
[image 3-1]
2. Precisely mark the centre of the hole
