Grounding Instructions
Warning! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
MAGBEAST 5 drilling machine must be connected to "protected power source" which is properly
grounded.
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 the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use tool if
the cord or plug is damaged, have it repaired before using. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a

Use of CuttingFluid
Magbeast 5 has 5 Morse Taper spindle drilling. To be used with metal cutters,
there is a necessity to use a 1.1/4’’ adapter. For this use the 1 1 / 4 ”Weldon
shank is the most common. This shank has a dimension of Ø31, 75 x 60mm
and has two surfaces for the locking screws.
When using large cutter dimensions, it is extremely important that the cutter is
properly fastened in the adapter before drilling begins. Incorrect attachment can
cause damage to cutter and adapter. Always make sure to use the following
procedure to fasten the cutter:
•Always disconnect the power supply when you change cutter or doing
adjustments to the machine.
•Insert cutter with pilot into the spindle. Make sure that the two locking
surfaces are appropriate in relation to the 2 screws. Press the cutter
completely skank completely into the adapter.
•First tighten one single screw gently so that the screw turns the cutter
into position. Help rotating the cutter if necessary.
•Tighten the screw, release and tighten the screw again.
Tighten the second screw properly.
Then after tightening the first screw again.

Visually check the machine for damage.
Machine mustbe checkedbeforeoperation for anysigns ofdamage that will affectthe operation of the machine.
Particularnoticemustbetaken of the mains cable, if the machine appears to be damaged it should not be used
failure to do so maycause injuryor death.
Check operation of the machine.
The machines operation must be checked to ensure that all components are working correctly.
Machines Carbon Brushes.
The Machines Brushes should be checked to make sure there is no abnormal wear present. This should be
checked at least once a week if used frequently. If the brush has worn more than 2/3 the original length the
brushes should be changed. Failure to do so maycause damage to the machine.
Machines Magnetic base.
Before every operation the magnetic base should be checked to make sure that the base is flat and there is no
damage present.An uneven magnetbasewillcausethemagnetnotto hold as efficientlyand maycause injuryto
the operator.
Adjustment of slide and bearing bracket Alignment.
An essential requirement of the machine is thatthe slide can move in a smooth and controlled manner,free of
lateral movement and vibration.
This situation can be maintained byperiodic adjustment of the slide and is accomplished.
Check machines grease.
The gearboxgrease should be checked once a month to ensure all moving components are covered to prevent
wear. The grease should be changed at least once a year to ensure you gain the best from the machine.
Check Armature of the machine.
This should be checked at least 1 per month to see that there are visual signs of damage to the bodyor to the
commutator.Somesignsof wear will be seen on the commutator over a period of time.This is normal as this is
the part that comes in contact with the brushes but any signs of abnormal damage and the part should be
replaced.
