manual, specifically the “General safety instructions” and ‘’Specific safety information’’, including the
figures, specifications, safety regulations and the signs indicating DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION.
WARNING: When using electrical tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the ris of fire, electrical shoc and personal injury.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety regulations. Non-observance of the safety
instructions can lead to an electric shoc , burns and/or severe injuries.
This manual should be ept for later use and enclosed with the magnetic drilling machine, should it
be passed on or sold.
Work area
1. Keep your wor area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dar wor areas increase the change of
accidents;
2. Do not operate a magnetic drill stand in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust;
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a magnetic drilling machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1. A magnetic drill stand plug 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 ris of electric shoc if your body is grounded;
3. Do not expose the drill stand to rain or wet conditions. Water will increase the ris of electric
shoc ;
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the drill stand or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the ris of electric shoc ;
5. When operating a magnetic drill stand, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use, this
reduces the ris of electric shoc ;
6. If operating a magnetic drill stand in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD), this reduces the ris of electric shoc .
Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using a drill stand. Do not
use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating may result in serious personal injury;
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts;

5
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before plugging the stand in. Carrying a
magnetic drill stand with your finger on the switch or plugging in a magnetic drill stand that
has the switch on increases the change of accidents;
4. Never place hands, fingers, gloves or clothing near drilling area or rotating machine parts;
5. Remove adjusting eys or switches before turning the power on. A wrench or a ey that is
left attached to a rotating part 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 drill stand in unexpected situations;
7. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mas , non-s id safety shoes, hard
hat and hearing protection must be used for optimal safety;
8. Always use supplied safety chain during any wor on non-horizontal surfaces. Magnetic drill
stand can release from surface.
When using this magnetic drill stand, you MUST wear ear and eye protection.
Use and care
1. When using the drill stand on non-horizontal surfaces, you must use cutting paste. Do not
use oil because the oil can drip into the unit;
2. During operations, the drill you are using must be cooled and lubricated with good quality
cutting or lubrication oil;
3. Use clamps or other practical solutions to secure and support the wor piece to a stable
platform. Holding the wor piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control;
4. Do not use the drill stand when the 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 ma ing any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the ris of starting
the tool accidentally;
6. Store your magnetic drill stand out of reach for children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users;
7. Maintain your drill stand with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less li ely to brea and are easier to control;
8. Chec for misalignment of moving parts, brea age of parts and any other condition that may
affect the operation. If you detect damage have the drill stand serviced before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools;
9. Only use accessories that are recommended by Euroboor for your model. Accessories that
are suitable for one machine may become hazardous when used on another machine.

stand is suitable for use with Ø 43 mm (1 11/16"), Ø 38 mm (1 1/2") or Ø 33 mm (1 5/16")
collars;
2. Loosen the bolt on front of the tool holder slightly. Do not remove the bolt;
3. Prepare the tool holder for the hand drilling machine:
a. Ø 43 mm collar: no insert;
b. Ø 38 mm collar: insert only the 1 piece adapter ring (inner Ø 38 mm);
c. Ø 33 mm collar: insert only the 2 piece adapter ring (inner Ø 33 mm);
4. Place the hand drilling machine in the tool holder as deep as the collar on the hand drilling
machine allows. Ma e sure only the collar and no other parts are placed inside the tool
holder (image 4-2);

14
5. Tighten the bolt on front of the tool holder. Do not overtighten;
6. Chec if the Voltage and Hertz rating of the fitted hand drilling machine matches with the
magnetic drill stand;
7. Chec if the power plug of the fitted hand drilling machine corresponds with the power
soc et on the bac of the drill stand (image 4-3);
8. Place the power plug of the fitted hand drilling machine in the power soc et of the magnetic
drilling stand correctly and tightly;
9. Ma e sure the power cable of the hand drilling machine stays clear of the general drilling
area.
[image 4-2] [image 4-3]
4.3 Electromagnet
Ma e sure the magnetic drill stand is placed on a smooth, clean, level and solid surface without any
objects or debris to guarantee maximum adhesion.
The wor piece must at least be 6 mm (1/4") thic for the magnet to stic and to drill safely. In case
the wor piece is between 3 mm (1/8") and 6 mm (1/4"), ma e sure to ma e a proper base to create
a good magnetic field as shown below.

15
[image 4-4]
The electromagnet will wor best on surfaces of at least 10 mm (3/8") thic ness.
When the electromagnet is not able to create a good enough magnetic field, this may be caused by
-Surface not being flat;
-Wor piece is not magnetisable (e.g. aluminium);
-Wor piece is coated or painted;
-Wor piece is not thic enough.
In this situation the magnet indicator will light up red. Ma e sure to solve any of these matters
before proceeding in any way and creating unsafe situations.
Using the magnet:
1. Place and position the drill stand on the wor 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 drill stand when LED indicator is RED Magnet may not generate
sufficient attachment force
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.
Ma e sure that the magnet attaches tightly to the wor piece before turning on the power of the
magnetic drill stand. Euroboor magnets have two coils; ma e sure that both coils are in contact with

16
the material. Do not connect any other machine to the same electrical outlet to which the magnetic
drill stand 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. 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 systems, pipe clamping systems and Tube machines can be found.
4.4 Switching hand drilling machine on and off
The hand drilling machine will only wor with an activated magnet. To switch the power supply ON,
press the green button with mar ing “I”. To switch the power supply OFF, press the red button with
mar ing “O”.
4.5 GYRO-TEC safety
This Euroboor magnetic drill stand is equipped with GYRO-TEC safety functionality. It features a
gyroscopic sensor which detects acceleration and displacement in any direction. Whenever the drill
stand recognizes a sudden or unwanted movement the power supply will be shut down
automatically by the stand’s electronics. This safety functionality offers protection to the user in
various circumstances, such as:
-Sudden loss of magnetic force while in operation;
-Excessive vibration caused by incorrect drilling procedure, worn-out cutting tools, etc;
-Sudden displacement of the wor piece to which the drill stand is attached.
By the power shutting off automatically, ris of damaging or hurting the drill stand, tools, wor piece
and operator is reduced.
Every time the power is turned on, the drill stand’s electronics need a moment to run a systems
chec and initiate the safety system. The GYRO-TEC safety feature engages three seconds after the
power is on.
It is very important to note that this functionality raises the safety level, but does not prevent the
operator from using the drill stand incorrectly. The operator should always follow instructions
described in this manual and ta e all necessary safety precautions.
4.6 Power surge and fluctuation protection
This drill stand is equipped with power surge and fluctuation protection, ma ing the drill stand
suitable for use in areas and wor places where power supply is of less quality.
The drill stand will shut down part of the electronics and the motor by itself when the drill stand
cannot cope with insufficient or unreliable power supply. This prevents the control unit(s) in the drill
stand from brea ing by cause of power supply, and thus unexpected downtime and high repair cost.
In such a situation the magnet will remain switched on.

17
Power surge protection
The drill stand is able to cope with voltage spi es up to 4,000V (1-2μs).*
Power fluctuation protection
The drill stand is able to cope with voltage and frequency fluctuations ranging from:
110 Volt to 130 Volt - 45 Hz to 65 Hz
220 Volt to 240 Volt - 45 Hz to 65 Hz
When the frequency is too high or too low, so it falls outside of above mentioned range, the motor
will not start. If the frequency of the power supply falls outside the range or fluctuates strongly
during your drilling job, the motor will shut off automatically.*
* Disclaimer: Euroboor is not liable for any damage caused to the drill stand due to electrical
problems in the workplace. Above mentioned protection is not guaranteed in all cases of voltage
and frequency spikes or fluctuations. Euroboor accepts no liability when it comes to the power
surge fluctuation protection not functioning or functioning poorly.
In the situation of the motor being shut off automatically as self-protection, you should:
-Shut off the magnet;
-Disconnect the drill stand from the power source;
-Fix the source of the problem, by either;
oMa ing sure the issues with the power source is fixed;
oConnect the drill stand to a different and reliable power source;
-Continue using the drill stand as described in this user manual.
4.7 Tool lubrication
Horizontal, vertical and overhead applications
Dip the drill bit in cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray.
Ma e sure to use only suitable cutting lubricants. Euroboor offers a wide range of cutting lubricants
for all tool and material combinations. Proper lubrication will help you create better and faster
results, and extend the lifetime of your tools.

18
5. Working with drilling accessories
5.1 Twist drills
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 wor 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 information and safety recommendations above, you are ready to
actually start drilling. Follow these 12 steps for best drilling result:
1. Install the drill bit according to original instructions of your hand drill;
2. Precisely mar the center of the hole;
3. Place the magnetic drill stand in the correct position by letting the tip of the twist drill meet
the mar ed center of the hole;
4. Switch on the magnet and verify that the drill is in the right position and that the drill stand is
pushed tight against the wor piece;
5. Ma e sure the hand drilling machine is switched on and (if possible) drilling speed is set
correctly following the original instructions of the hand drilling machine. Switch the fitted
hand drilling machine on with the motor on/off switch on the magnetic drill stand and allow
it to run at the required speed;
6. Turn the feed handles to start drilling. Apply only a slight pressure when the drill bit touches
the metal. Do not push the drill bit with force into the meta;
7. Apply a regular pressure while drilling. The drilling performance does not improve by putting
more pressure on the drill stand. Too much pressure will overload the motor of your hand
drill and your drill bit will be worn sooner;
Let the drill bit do its job and give it time to cut the metal!
8. Apply cooling fluid when necessary. Stop drilling regularly to do so;

19
9. Apply less pressure when the drill cuts through the material;
10. Turn the feed handles to put the drill stand in highest position and switch off the power
supply;
11. Remove the burrs, metal chips and clean the drill bit and surface without getting injuries.
Caution: The metal drill chips can be sharp and very hot!

20
6. Maintenance
Your Euroboor magnetic drill stand has been designed to operate over a long period of time.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, turn the drill stand off and disconnect the tool from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-
ups or when making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-
up can cause injury.
Just as every drill stand with moving parts, your Euroboor magnetic drill stand also needs regular
maintenance service. A few recommendations follow :
Visually check the drill stand for damage
The drill stand must be chec ed before operating for any signs of damage that will affect the
operation of the tool. Particular notice must be ta en of the main cable, if the drill stand appears to
be damaged it should not be used. Failure to do so may cause injury or death.
Cleaning
-Clean all dirt, dust, metal chips and burrs of your drill stand;
-Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and
around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and an approved dust mas ;
-Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool.
These chemicals may wea en the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with
water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
Operation of the drill stand
The drill stand’s operation must be chec ed to ensure that all components are wor ing correctly.
Replace any defective parts immediately. This prevents properly functioning parts from being
damaged.
Check magnetic base
Before every operation the magnetic base should be chec ed to ma e sure that the base is flat and
there is no damage present. An uneven magnet base will cause the magnet to hold not as efficiently
and may cause injury to the operator.
When the drill stand is put out of use for a longer period, apply a small amount of machine oil to the
underside of the magnetic base for rust protection. Clean the magnetic base again with next use.
Adjustment of slide
An essential requirement of the drill stand is that the slide can move in a smooth and controlled
manner, free of lateral movement and vibration.
This situation can be maintained by periodic adjustment of the slide and can be accomplished in the
following manner:
1. Place the drill stand in an upright position and, by means of the capstan, raise the slide to its
highest position. Clean the aluminum rails and apply a small amount of light machine oil to
the wear surfaces;
