CHECK ARMATURE
This should be checked at least 1 per month to check that there are visual signs of damage
to the body or to the commutator. Some signs of 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.
ADJUSTMENT OF SLIDE
An essential requirement of the machine is that the slide can move in a smooth and
controlled manner, free of lateral movement and vibration.
This situation can be maintained by periodic adjustment of the slide and is accomplished in
the following manner:
1. Place the machine in an upright position and, by means of the capstan, raise the slide
to its highest position. Clean the aluminum rails and apply a small amount of light
machine oil to the wear surfaces;
2. Gently feed in setting screw with supplied Allen key 2.5 until slight resistance is
encountered. Follow your way down adjusting all setting nuts and screws;
3. Operate the slide up and down a few times to test the movement and make any
further necessary adjustments. Try to ensure that all the screws are exerting a
uniform pressure on the slide from top to bottom. A perfectly adjusted slide will
operate freely up and down without any sideways movement.
LUBRICATING THE FEED TRAVEL
The feed travel should be lubricated periodically with grease to ensure smooth operation.
- Raise the motor unit to the highest position possible;
- Lubricate the dove-tail guide way at both sides;
- Lubricate the gear rack.
After repeated use, the gear rack may become loose. If necessary, adjust the self-locking set
screws at the left side. Tighten screws in series until the gear rack moves freely in the dove-
tail guide but does not allow the motor to wobble.
REPAIR, MODIFICATION AND INSPECTION
Repair, modification and inspection of magnetic drilling machines must be done by the
manufacturer or an authorised dealer. The spare parts list will be helpful if presented with the
machine to the dealer for service when requesting repair or other maintenance.
Our machines are constantly being improved and modified to incorporate the latest
technological advancements. Accordingly, some parts (i.e. part numbers and/or design) may
be changed without prior notice. Also, due to our continuing program of research and
development, the specifications of machines are subject to change without prior notice.
