1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Application
The Minibeast Cordless is a drilling machine designed to drill holes of diameters up to
36 mm (1.42″) with TCT annular cutters and up to 30 mm (1.18″) with HSS annular
cutters. The machine can also drill holes of diameters up to 12 mm (0.47″) by using
twist drill bits. It allows machining holes of diameters up to 30 mm (1.18″) by using
conical countersinks.
The drilling machine is battery powered. After charging the battery, it can work in
places that are not connected to the mains.
The electromagnetic base clamps the machine to ferromagnetic surfaces. This
assures that the operator is safe and the machine works correctly. A safety strap
protects the machine from falling in case of a clamping loss.

The clamping force of the electromagnetic base will be lower if the clamping
surface is thin, rough, not flat, not rigid, the voltage is lower than required, or the bottom
of the base is worn.
The force will be lower if there is rust, paint, chips, or dirt. The workpiece should
be ground with coarse-grained sandpaper and cleaned.
Some types of steel (non-ferromagnetic) do not conduct the magnetic
flux, therefore the machine cannot clamp onto them.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
In accordance with the European Directive 2012/19/EU, this device is
marked with the symbol of the crossed-out waste bin. This marking means
that the equipment must not be disposed of with other household waste after
the service life. The user must return the product to a collection point for used electrical
and electronic equipment. The collectors of used equipment, including local collection
points, shops and municipal units create an appropriate system for returning such
equipment. Correct handling of used electrical and electronic equipment helps in
avoiding damage to health and the environment, which may result from the presence
of dangerous components and incorrect storage and processing of such equipment.
In accordance with the European Directive 2006/66/EC, the batteries are
marked with the symbol of the crossed-out waste bin. Below this symbol
there may be a chemical symbol of heavy metal present in the battery, if its
percentage is above: 0.0005% for mercury (Hg), 0.002% for cadmium (Cd), 0.004%
for lead (Pb). Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste and WEEE
waste. The user must return the battery to a collection point for used batteries. Before
returning the battery, discharge it*, remove it from the device and protect the contacts
with insulating tape. Returning the battery to the collection point reduces the negative
impact of its hazardous substances on human health and the environment, and
enables the recovery of raw materials and plastics in the recycling process.
