2‐Safety

1. Duringanyworkonnon‐horizontalcomponents,themachinemustalwaysbesecuredwiththe
suppliedsafetychain.

2. Themagneticdrillingmachinemayonlybeusedonaflatandcleanfoundation.

3. Ifthemachineortheleadshowsignsofdamage,themagneticdrillingmachinemustbeswitched
offimmediately.

4. Wearingsafetyglasses,hearingprotectionandprotectiveclothingisnecessary.

5. Donotwearanylooseclothingorjewellerythatmaygetentangledinthemovingpartsofthe
magneticdrillingmachine.

6. UseonlyaccessoriesorpartsthatarerecommendedbyRotec.

7. Duringdrilloperations,theholecuttermustbecooledandlubricatedwithgoodqualitycuttingor
lubricationoil.

8. Themotormustbeswitchedoffwhentighteningthemachinewiththesafetychain.

9. Whenchangingaholecutter,themagneticdrillingmachinemustbedisconnectedfrompower
supply.

10. Cleantheareaaroundthemachineregularly.Keepthebottomofthemagnetandkeepitcleanand
dry.

11. Regularlyinspectwhetherallscrews,nutsandboltsaretight.

12. Removetheburrorslugfromtheholecutteraftereachhole.Caution,thepartmaybehot!

13. Beforeusingthemachinemakesureitisconnectedtothecorrectvoltageandthatallgripsand
partsaretightlyattached.

14. Whenusingthedrillonnon‐horizontalsurfaces,youmustuseadrillingcompoundorcuttingpaste.

15. Donotuseoilbecausetheoilcandripintothemotorunit.




Whenusingthismachine,youMUSTwearearandeyeprotection.
Rotechasincludedthesearticlesasstandardaccessoriesforyourown

maynotbeadaptedand/orusedforapplicationsotherthanthosetheyweredesignedfor,including
drivingothermachines.
Makesurethatyoucanoverseetheentireworkareasfromwhereyouareoperatingthismachine.Use
barrierstokeepothersaway.Donotusethemachineinplacessubjecttohazardofexplosion‐electrical
toolsproducesparkswhichmayigniteflammablematerialsorgasses.Topreventelectricalshocks,donot
usethemachineinmoistorwetconditionsorenvironments.Alwaysoperatethistoolusingbothhands.
Makesuretheworkpieceisalwaysclampeddownsafety.
Thismagneticdrillingmachineisequippedwithaleadandplugapprovedforthecountryorregionitisto
beusedin.Theyellow‐greenwireintheleadistheearthwire.Neverconnectthistoapoleundervoltage.
AllRotecmagneticdrillingmachinesaremanufacturedtousewithACcurrentandnotsuitabletoworkon
DCcurrent.Makesurethemagneticdrillingmachineisconnectedtoastablepowersupply.Rotecdonot
recommendtheuseofageneratororothermobilepowersupplyforpowersupply.Rotecdoesnot
recommendtheuseofextensioncables.Ifthereisnootherway,usegoodqualitycablesandkeep

Rotecrecommendstheuseofcoolingandlubricationagents.Notonlydotheseassistin
drillingbuttheywillalsolengthenthelifespanofyourtools.Oneoftheadvantagesof
theuseofholecuttersisthatcoolingandlubricationagentscanbesuppliedfromthe
inside,sothattheagentsendupintherightplace.
AllmagneticdrillingmachinesfromRoteccanbeequippedwitha automaticcooling
systemwhichprovidesaguaranteedsupplyofthecoolingandlubricationagentsfrom
theinside.Ifyourmachineisnotbeequippedwithanautomaticcoolantsystemitwill
stillbepossibletocoolfromtheinside.
Usetheholesinthespindle(number1inpicture)forthispurposebysquirtingthe
coolingandlubricationagentintothedrillspindlethroughthem

dataformaximumcapacity.

Installationof13mmChuckbyusingadapter545.1021
The545.1021isaadaptorfrom1/2"x20UNFto19mmWeldon.
AttachaDrillChuckwithinternal1/2"x20UNFonthe545.1021adaptor.
ToattachtheassemblyintoyourSpindle,followtheinstructions(withexceptionofthePilotPin)for

FortheRTC.32magneticdrillingmachineitispossibletoinstalladrillChuckdirectlytotheshaftextending
fromthemotorunit.RemovetheSpindlebyusingwrench18and20.Fixtheextendingmotorshaftwith
wrench18andturnthespindlewithwrench20anti‐clockwise.


IMPORTANT:Whenreinstallingthespindleandthetriangularguide(steady),youmustensurethatthe

6‐TheMagneticDrillingMachine

TheMagneticbase
Materialofminimum10mmthicknessisrequiredforthemagnettoworkthebest.

Theattachmentforcegeneratedbythemagnetdependsonvariousfactors.
‐Thicknessofthematerialthemagnetisplacedon
‐Paintorcoatingofthematerialthemagnetisplacedon.
‐Metalchips,oilorotherdirtunderthemagnet.

IftheLEDindicator(seechapter4‐3‐2)lightsupGREEN,themagnetisgeneratingsufficientattachment
force.IftheLEDindicatorlightsupRED,themagnetmaynotgeneratingsufficientattachmentforce.

Wewouldliketopointoutthatthisisonlyanindicationandnotacertainlythatthemagnetwillnot
releasefromthematerial.Rotecacceptsnoliabilityensuringfromthemagnetindicatornotfunctioning
orfunctioningpoorly.

Makesurethatthemagnetattachestightlytotheworkpiecebeforeturningonthemotorunitofthe
magneticdrillingmachine.Rotecmagnetshave2coils;makesurethatbothcoilsareincontactwiththe
material.Donotconnectanyothermachinestotheelectricaloutletthemagneticdrillingmachine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.
