4.4 Standard values for speeds with HSS – Eco – twist drilling
The above mentioned indications are standard values. In some cases it may be advanta-
geous to increase or decrease these values.
When drilling a cooling or lubricating agent should be used.
For stainless materials (e.g. VA – or NIRO steel sheets) do not center as the material would
compact and the drill bit will become rapidly blunt.
The workpieces need to be tensed inflexibly and stably (vice, screw clamp).
4.5 Switching on the machine
The drilling machine is switched on in the following order.
Turn the change-over switch into the neutral position (0).
Push the green push-button, and wait two seconds.
Turn the change-over switch into the desired direction of rotation. The rotation of spindle
starts.
4.6 Switching off the machine
Push the red push-button, or turn the change over switch into the neutral position (0).
4.7 Quick-action drill chuck
The bench drilling machine is equipped
with a RÖHM quick-action drill chuck.
In order to clamp a drill bit, hold the upper
part of the quick-action drill chuck and turn
the lower part.
