5.
Avoid the magnet releasing. Ensure that the magnet has properly adhered to the work piece before
beginning drilling.
6.
Avoid operating annular cutters without coolant fluid. Always check coolant level before operating.
7.
Do not operate with dull or damaged cutting tools. This may overload the motor.
8.
Protect the motor. Never allow coolant fluid, water, or other contaminants to enter the motor.
9.
Metal chips are often very sharp and hot. Never touch them with bare hands. Clean up with a magnetic
chip collector and a chip hook or other appropriate tool.
CAUTION: NEVER position machine on a workpiece between the electrode and the ground of any arc
type welder. Damage to the machine will result as the welder will ground through the machine’s
ground cable.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to use machine with incorrect current or abnormally low voltage. Check
machine nameplate to ensure that correct voltage and Hz are used.
ASSEMBLY
COOLANT TANK assembly required. First attach clear tube to the bottom of the coolant tank. To do this, first
loosen the nut and slide nut onto the tube. Then slide tube onto the nipple. Then tighten the nut.
Slide tank hanger over the screw on the upper right hand side of slide and tighten.
Finally insert the other end of the tube into the quick-release connector in the gearbox. Just directly push in to
install. (To remove, first firmly push the red collar of the connector and pull the tube out.)
Cutting coolant fluid is always required when using annular cutters. Open tank cover and fill. Check coolant
fluid level often. Keep coolant tap closed when not in use.
Chip guard must be used. To attach the chip guard, use the supplied butterfly bolts to bolt to the magnet. It is
not necessary to remove guard to clean chips. Simply raise guard to its upper position.
Safety Strap must be used. Loop strap around the workpiece, feed strap throught the power tool's handle,
and tighten strap using the ratchet mechanism.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTO-REVERSE TAPPING
THIS MACHINE IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND SO SPECIAL CARE MUST BE PAID TO THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO UNDERSTAND ITS TAPPING FUNCTION. CAUTION: Before beginning tapping
ensure that the hole is the correct size for the tap. An undersize hole will cause the tap to jam causing a
hazardous situation.
CAUTION: When tapping a blind hole always correctly use the travel limiter stop to ensure that there is
enough clearance so that you do not bottom-out the tap. Bottoming will cause the tap to jam, causing
a hazardous situation.
CAUTION: Never attempt to tap with the gearbox selector in standard drilling mode. The much higher
speed of the standard drilling mode will damage the tap and cause a hazardous situation .
