to prevent injury to someone on a lower level in the event of the tool and or accessory
should drop.

6 | P a g e
26. ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR AIR VENT FULLY OPENED: A constantly open motor vent is
necessary to allow air to come in and out for cooling the motor. Do not allow it to become
clogged up, even if the dust is blown through it.
27. OPERATE POWERTOOLS AT THE RATED VOLTAGE: Operate power tools at voltages
specified on their nameplates.
28. NEVER TOUCH THE MOVING PARTS: Never touch the moving parts such as blades, bits,
cutters and others.
29. STOP OPERATION IMMEDIATLEY IF ANY ABNORMALITY IS DETECTED: Should a power
tool be detected as out of order or should other abnormalities be observed during
operation , stop using the tool immediately.
30. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF: Don’t leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
31. CAREFULLY HANDLE POWERTOOLS: Should a power tool be dropped or struck hard against
hard materials inadvertently it may be deformed, cracked or damaged.

carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them
with solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water.
33. WHEN REPLACING A COMPONENT PART, ADOPT THE SAME TYPE: When replacing a
component part with a new one, adopt the same type of new part. Also never attempt to
repair a power tool yourself.
ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTION
Raw material recycling instead of waste disposal
In order to avoid damages on transportation, the power tool has to be delivered in sturdy packing.
The packing as well as the tool and its accessories are made of recyclable materials and can be
disposed accordingly.
The tools plastic components are marked accordingly to their material, which makes it possible to
remove environmental friendly and differentiated because of available collection facilities.
ONLY FOR EU COUNTRIES
Do not dispose of household tools together with household waste material, In
observance of European directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools
that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to
an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
NOISE EMISSION / VIBRATION

7 | P a g e
The indication of noise emission is measured according to DIN 45 635, part 21. Level of acoustic
pressure on the work place could exceed 85 dB (A) in this case protection measures must be taken.
WEAR EAR PROTECTORS!
The typical hand arm vibration is now below 2.5m/s 2
Measured values determined according to EN 50 144
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the
tool is used for different applications with different accessories or poorly maintained the vibration
emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working
period.
SAFETY CLUTCH
The safety clutch should absorb shock and excessive stress. It is an aid and not an absolute
protection. Therefore you have to handle and drill carefully.
To keep in good condition the clutch should slip for a very short time (max 2 seconds) in each case
only.
After excessive wearing the clutch has to be renewed by an authorised service shop.
Always ensure that the motor is fully stopped before attempting to change the speed of the
machine.
OPERATING THE MACHINE
a) Fitting the cutter or drills
Always unplug the power source to the machine before fitting or removing cutters or drills into
the arbour. To fit cutters loosen both screws to permit the cutter shank to fit fully into the
arbour ensuring the flats of the cutter are in line with set screws, then tighten the set screws
until the cutter is safely locked in to the arbour.
With a gloved hand or a brush clean any dirt or swarf from the base of the magnet and the work
piece and place unit in correct place for drilling.
Attach safety chain by looping it through the handle of the machine and around the work piece
or other suitable anchor point. Take up any slack on the chain and clip the hook through a
convenient link in the chain.

8 | P a g e
Plug the power cable in to a suitable power supply (using extension lead of the correct rating if
necessary) The use of an RCD is also highly recommended.
b) Drilling –Broaching
Energise the magnet by switching on the magnet switch
Check the magnet is holding to the work piece. Using the oil bottle add oil to the work piece. If
cutting in inverted position it is recommended an aerosol foam coolant or cutting paste is used.
Select the required speed. Do NOT attempt to change speed while the machine is drilling.
Start Motor
Please note that the motor will not run unless the magnet is energised.
If for any reason the power is interrupted the relay makes it necessary to restart the motor
again before cutting can continue.
Advance the cutter to the work piece using light and controlled pressure until the cutter has
broken the surface, then increase pressure until the motor is loaded. Maintain even pressure
right through the cut.
Too much pressure will NOT speed up the cut, it will reduce the life of the cutter and may cause
damage to the motor.
If the turnings become blue add more oil. At the end of the cut the slug will be ejected, check
before commencing next hole.
Stop motor, switch off magnet.
WARNING: Under no circumstances try to remove turnings or swarf from the cutter when
machine is in operation. NEVER introduce and body parts to moving parts of the machine when it is
switched on.
This document is issued for general information and instruction and as such does not constitute a
specification of the equipment.
Only use faultless and sharp drilling tools and avoid that the machine stops due to overload.
MOUNTING THE TOOL
DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE MAINS BEFORE EVERY TOOL CHANGE!

9 | P a g e
Twist Drills:
Drills with MT3 connection can be directly fitted in the drill spindle.
For twist drills with MT2 connection use a reducing sleeve MT3 –MT2
For twist drills with parallel shank use a drill chuck B18 with appropriate taper mandrel MT3 –B18
Core Drills:
For working with core drills you need a mount MT3 –0 19 Weldon
Fit the ejector pin of suitable length in the core drill.
Place the core drill in the Weldon mount so that the two allen screws hit the two surfaces of the
shaft.
Tighten the allen screws equally.
Attention!!
Never press the tool into the tool connection with might and main!
Morse tapper and –cone have to be free of grease and dirt.
REMOVING THE TOOL
Put the drill drift in the opening of the gearbox collar.
