4) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Always ensure that the magnet has adhered properly to the work piece before beginning drilling.
NOTE: If mounting to a curved surface beam, mount the machine parallel to the curve in the work piece.
WARNING: Avoid operating at more than 90 degrees from horizontal. When drilling at such an angle take precautions to prevent
cutting coolant from entering the motor. Paste-type stick lubricant should be used.
NOTE: Always ensure that the cutting tool is sharp. A dull cutter typically will have finer and/or choppy shavings.
WARNING: ALWAYS clear chips when there is too much build-up. Excessive chip build-up could result in a jammed cutter or other
hazardous situation.
WARNING: the slug ejects at end of cut and is very hot. Always provide a method of catching the slug, where the ejected slug may cause
injury to people below.
CAUTION: Never attempt to cut half-circles or to stitch drill (drill overlapping holes) with a TCT cutter. This may destroy the cutter.
REVERSING OR CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE CRANK LEVER
The Crank Lever is quick-release and adjustable to suit different operating conditions.
If it is required to mount the crank lever on the opposite side or to change its position, push the Release Button in the centre of the Crank
Hub and remove. Press the Button and mount on the opposite side or in the desired position.
THE LED WORK LIGHT
Models equipped with the LED WORK LIGHT have a light which is always on whenever the machine is plugged in. This can be useful when
working in dark work spaces.
CAUTION: Never attempt to re enter a half-finished cut if the magnet has been turned off and the machine shifted in the interim. This
may destroy the cutter.
