3) ADJUSTING GIBS (Dovetail Slides)
FREE PLAY
Before every use, lubricate and adjust as
necessary. When adjusting the gib the
following procedure must be followed.
• Using an 8mm AF spanner (not supplied),
loosen the 7 locknuts. With all 7 locknuts
loosened, ensure that the main slide is at
the lowest position.
• Using the 2.5 mm Hex Key supplied, and
starting with the lower adjusting screws
and working upwards, turn the adjusting
screws to eliminate any free movement.
• Operate the crank handle to move the slide
up and down. There should be no free play,
yet no binding anywhere throughout the
range of travel.
• If necessary repeat the above procedure
several times to ensure that all free
movement has been eliminated and that
the machine head moves up and down
freely without any binding and without any
side to side movement.
• Re-tighten the 7 locknuts when adjustment
is complete.

4) COOLANTS and LUBRICANTS.
The use of coolants or lubricants will ease the
cutting operation and prolong the life of the
cutter and the machine.
• When using coolants or lubricants, ensure
that they do not run down the mains cord
to the mains plug and supply outlet. Do not
allow coolants or lubricants to enter the
machine’s ventilation openings.
• When using the machine in an inverted
position or on vertical surfaces use cutting
paste instead of a liquid cutting fluid.
• If the machine is to be used to cut materials
that create dust, such as cast iron, dust
extraction equipment (not supplied) should
be used and/or the operator should wear a
suitable respiratory protection mask.

5) PREPARATION and SETTING UP.
The electromagnet on this machine is designed
to adhere to ferrous metallic surfaces only.
WARNING: The use on any material whose
thickness is less than that specified in this
Instruction Manual will progressively reduce
the magnetic performance, and could result in
a potentially dangerous condition arising.
(9.9)
• Always prepare the material surface before
attaching the machine. The material
surface must be clean, flat and free
from rust, protective coatings, grease or
other debris such as chips or swarf from
previously drilled holes.
• Always check the surface of the magnetic
base ensuring that it is not damaged and
is clear of debris such as chippings or swarf
from previously drilled holes.
• Never use this machine on a structure
where arc welding is taking place. Damage
to the machine will result as the welder will
ground through the power tools ground or
earth cable.

6) DURING CUTTING OPERATIONS.
WARNING: The swarf and the slug produced
will be hot and sharp.
• When using annular cutters ensure that the
slug ejected at the end of the cut will not
endanger anyone in the vicinity.
• If working at height some form of collection
device for the ejected slug may be necessary.
• Care should be taken with the ejected
slug, this will be both hot and sharp, gloves
should be worn when handling the slug.
• This power tool can be used on a vertical
surface or upside down provided there is
sufficient magnetic adhesion, extra care
should be taken when drilling vertically or
inverted . When using the machine vertically
or inverted it is possible hot and sharp swarf
or chips may fall. Always wear appropriate
personal protective equipment.
