GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with tool. Never remove
the grounding prong from the plug. If the cord or plug is damaged, have it
repaired before using. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. The Holemaker must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in Figure A. If in
doubt of proper grounding, call a qualified electrician.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE HOLEMAKER DRILLING MACHINES ON SURFACES OR MATERIALS BEING
WELDED. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE
SLUGGER DRILLING MACHINE.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. See table for the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU DRILL
1. Type of material to be drilled, Brinnell or Rockwell hardness, material thickness and position should all be
determined to ensure proper selection of cutting tools.
2. Remove any excessive mill scale or rust from surface to be drilled.
3. When drilling thin materials, it is recommended that you place a steel plate under the work piece and Holemaker
magnet area to increase magnetic holding force.
4. Material that has been flame cut may become heat treated and therefore difficult to drill.Avoid drilling near such
areas whenever possible.
5. Special cutter lubricant are available for using the Holemaker and annular cutters in the horizontal
position. Consult you distributor for more information.
Caution: Do not drill on material where welding is also simultaneously being performed. Drilling machine will
be damaged.
Caution: Powering drilling machine from generator without proper surge protection device between
generator and drilling machine may cause damage to Printed Circuit Board in machine.

Fit your cutter into the drill arbor and tighten both grubs screws using the hex wrench provided onto the 2 flat
sections of the cutter.
Fill coolant reservoir with a water-soluble coolant.
Position the Holemaker on the work piece with the pilot pin over the centre of the hole to be cut.
Lower cutter/drill to surface of material. coolant flow starts when pilot pin is depressed.
Lifting pilot pin off work surface will stop coolant flow.
Move the rocker switch ( magnet switch ) located on the panel to the ON position. The switch will illuminate
to indicate DC power is going to the magnet.
Depress motor ON switch to start drill.
To start a cut, apply pressure until the cutter has establised an external grove. Then apply steady pressure
through the remainder of the cut (Note: Do not peck drill when using annular cutters). The tools are designed
to evacuate chips when drilling.
AFTER THE CUT
1. After the cut has finished, the slug should be expelled on the down stroke. If the slug is not expelled after the
cut, disconnect the machine from the power source and remove the cutter from the arbor body, then expel the
slug. (Caution: The pilot should not be used to do this).
After the cut is finished, return the cutter back through the hole to the original position, depress motor OFF
button and wait until motor fully stops. Move magnet switch to the OFF position to release the magnetic
base from the material.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Magnetic base not holding securely
•Surface of material being drilled must be free of chips, debris, rust and mill scale.
•Does size of cutter exceed machine’s rated capacity?
•Check magnet face for unevenness, nicks and burrs.
•Is welding equipment connected to material being drilled?
2. Drill motor running, arbor and spindle not turning
•Possible sheared drive train component.
3. Motor slows when drilling
•Is an extension cord being used? If so, see page 5 for recommended wire gages and cord lengths.
•Excessive downfeed pressure during drilling cycle will cause motor to slow and overheat.
•Does cutting tool need to be resharpened?
4. Coolant system not working
•Dirt or debris in coolant tank hose or fittings
•Consistency of coolant mixture too thick.
•Is correct pilot pin being used?
5. Slugs not ejecting from cutter
•Lack of coolant causing slugs to expand in cutter bore.
•Is correct pilot pin being used?
•Possible broken internal arbor parts.
6. Breaking cutters
•How is coolant being applied? Coolant must be supplied to interior of cutter.
•Excessive feed pressure being applied when cutter initially contacts work surface.
•Confirm material hardness.
•Drilling stacked materials with incorrect cutter.
•Dull cutters; dull or chipped cutting edges require excessive feed pressure, resulting in breakage.
•Excessive arbor runout–see regular maintenance on page 8.
7. Oversized or rough holes
•Insufficient coolant.
•Excessive feed pressure.
•Dull cutter.
