7) EXTENSION CABLE SELECTION
The machines are factory fitted with a 2 metre length of cable having three conductors 1.5mm²
LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH. If it becomes necessary to fit an extension cable from the power source, care
must be taken in using a cable of adequate capacity. Failure to do so will result in a loss of traction by the
magnet and a reduction of power from the motor.
Assuming a normal AC supply of the correct voltage, it is recommended that the following extension lengths
shall not be exceeded:
For 110v supply: 3.5 yards of 3 core x 1.5mm²
For230v supply: 26 yards of 3 core x 1.5mm²
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CHANGING CUTTERS.
8) MOUNTING OF CUTTERS
• The machine has been made to accept cutters having 19.05mm (3/4”) dia. Weldon shanks.
The following procedure is to be used when mounting cutters:
• Lay the machine on its side with feed handles uppermost, ensuring arbor is wound down to its lowest
point to enable access to socket screws.
• Take appropriate pilot and place through the hole in cutter shank. Insert shank of cutter into bore of
arbor, ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket screws.
• Tighten both screws using hexagon key.

9) FITTING THE CHUCK
To replace the arbor with the drill chuck, first remove the arbor. Spanners are supplied with the machine kit to
enable you to do this.
Place one spanner on the output shaft of the motor.
Turn clockwise until it makes contact with the dovetail slide.
Place the second spanner on the plats of the arbor, apply pressure again in a clockwise direction. Magnetising
the base to a solid unit can help to hold the machine in a fixed position.
If the arbor is tight, tap the spanner on the arbor with a soft mallet.
Once the arbor is unscrewed, the arbor support bracket needs to be removed. To do this remove the two
socket cap head screws holding it in place.
Once everything is removed, the chuck can simply be screwed into place.
To refit the arbor this process should be followed in reverse.
