4 Safety

4
GMV SnapDrill 2021
1. Check HSE rules and regulations
2. Make inspection of tool before starting
3. Emphasize the clamping danger
4. Supply data sheets of the tube
It is recommended to wear protective footwear, goggles, hard hat, hearing protection and gloves to
handle metal chips.
5 Instructions for use
1. Referring to fig. 1, place the teeth in the spindle housing against the tube where to drill the hole.

5
GMV SnapDrill 2021
2. Referring to fig. 2, fasten the snap drill to the tube by tightening the jaws against the tube by
rotating the thrust lock nut clockwise against the thrust ring by the help of the handle levers. Use
both hands for final tightening.
3. Referring to fig. 3, check that the feed nut is in the rear position before start. Lubrication directly
in the hole saw ahead of drilling is recommended. Use the battery drills “drilling mode” (drill
symbol) on the torque switch. Use battery drill gear stage 1. Start the battery drill clockwise
pushing the button fully down to achieve full torque. Gently rotate the feed nut outwards to
engage the clutch. The hole cutter will now move outwards and cut the hole in the tube. Drill
continuously, until the hole saw is fully through the pipe.

4. Referring to fig. 4, loosen the jaws by rotating the thrust lock nut anticlockwise. The torsion
springs will lift up the jaws thus enable the snap drill to be pulled free.
5. Referring to fig. 5, get rid of the debris by rotating the drill anticlockwise and gently rotate the
feed nut outwards to engage the clutch. The hole cutter will now move backwards pushing the
debris against the hexagon drive shaft thus throwing it free from the hole cutter.

6 Changing of hole cutter
1. Referring to fig. 6, screw out lock screw and remove the hole cutter.
2. Thoroughly clean all visible parts. Using air pressure to clean is not recommended. Insert the new
hole cutter.
3. It is important that the battery drill is set to gear stage 1. Fasten the hole cutter with the custom
socket and flex handle.
4. The table below gives the hole cutter part number and its size that fit for each SnapDrill. Note
that for cutter Ø24 and Ø30 there is a short (S) and a long (L) version.
