stand's weight without bending. A bent workpiece
reduces the magnet's contact area which can result
in the magnet coming loose.
Surface Preparation
Paint, rust, scale or uneven surfaces decrease the
holding strength of the magnet. Chips, burrs, dirt
and other foreign materials on the surface of the
magnetic base will also decrease holding power.
Use a smooth, fl at fi le to keep the magnet clean and
free of nicks. Clean the surface before attaching the
drill stand to the material.
Rack and Pinion
These units have a 10:1 feed ratio: i.e. for every
pound applied to the handle, you create ten pounds
on the drill point, thereby eliminating operator fa-
tigue. Even large bits only require a small amount
of pressure on the handle. Example: 20 Pounds on
the handle creates 200 Pounds on the drill point.
Safety Chain
WARNING
always use a safety chain when drilling
overhead or on a vertical surface.
A safety chain is standard equipment with every
unit. Should a power loss occur, the mounting
could come loose.
When mounting the tool to a vertical surface, the
safety chain must be used to secure the tool to
the surface.
1. To mount the tool to a vertical surface, place the
magnetic drill press on the prepared surface.
Push the magnet button on to activate the mag-
net.
2. Route the safety chain through the lower carrying
handle and wrap it tightly around a solid, rigid
structure as shown.
Fig. 3
3. Eliminate any slack in the chain. Hook the safety
chain together using the snaphook provided.
4. Secure the safety chain with a c-clamp or simi-
lar device. This will hold the chain in place and
prevent the tool from sliding down the vertical
surface.
WARNING
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields. Unplug the tool before changing ac-
cessories or making adjustments.

A - Drill Rotation Speed - Fast/Slow
Adjusting the dial changes the drill rotation speed
electronically. The higher numbers on the dial
produce faster rotation.
B - Forward Drill Button
C - Reverse Drill Button
The drill may be set to two positions: forward and
reverse.
1. For forward (clockwise) rotation, push the green
forward button. Check the direction of rotation
before use.
2. For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push
the yellow reverse button. Check direction of
rotation before use.
D - Magnet Button - On/Off
The magnet button must be activated before the
drill will run.
1. To turn the magnet on, push the "Magnet" button.
The red indicator light will turn on.
C-clamp
2. To turn the magnet off, push the "Magnet" button.
The red indicator light will turn off.
E - Drill and Magnet Interlock
The drill will not operate unless the magnet button
is pushed and the red indicator light is on. If the
operator attempts to start the drill before turning
on the magnet, the drill buttons will not function.
To start the drill:
1. Push the magnet button to activate the magnet.
2. Make sure the red indicator light is on. If the light
is fl ashing, check for the following:
• Low voltage at plug
• Loose motor connection
• Mag panel buttons are jammed or stuck
If fl ashing light still occurs, take entire unit to an
authorized service center.
3. Push a drill button for forward or reverse.
If a loss of line voltage occurs while the drill is
running, the drill will stop.
