If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. 9. Use only accessories that are recommended by Euroboor for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one machine, may become hazardous when used on another machine.
1.2 Specific safety information • Keep your fingers well out of the drill area; • Avoid touching the drilled core that is automatically ejected by the centering pin when the working procedure is finished. Contact with the core when it is hot, or if it falls, can cause personal injuries;...
2.6 Symbols Symbol Term, meaning Explanation Be absolutely sure to read the enclosed Read documentation documentation such as the Instruction Manual and the General Safety Instructions. Wear ear protection Use ear protection during operation. Wear eye protection Use eye-protection during operation. Danger/warning/caution Observe the information in the adjacent text!

2.7 Environmental Separate collection. This product must not be disposed of with normal household waste. Separate collection of used products and packaging allows materials to be recycled and used again. Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials.
3. Preparation & adjustment 3.1 Assembly WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set- ups or when making repairs. Be sure all switches are in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Please make sure that the contacting surface for the magnet is level, clean and rust-free. Remove any varnish or primer. When working on materials that are not magnetizable, suitable fixation devices, obtainable as accessories from EUROBOOR, e. g. suction plate, vacuum plate or pipe-drilling device must be used.
4. Using the machine WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. 4.1 Control panel The control panel on your magnetic drilling machine is designed for maximum operating facility and safety.
4.2 Morse taper spindle [image 2-3] [image 2-4] 1. Make sure the inside of the output shaft and the Morse Taper spindle are clean and free of grease 2. Align the coolant ring rotation limiter with the recess in the gearbox (A) 3.
4.3 Gearbox 1. To select the correct gear from neutral (horizontal) position: a. Rotate the switch counter clockwise to position o, this is gear 1 b. Rotate the switch clockwise to position oo, this is gear 2 2. A gear is only correctly selected when the gearbox switch is aligned with the indicators on the gearbox.
4.4 Magnet base By combining Magswitch’s patent-pending rotating magnet technology and Euroboor’s smartest magnetic drilling unit yet, we have created a tool that is capable of quickly and safely drilling on contoured and flat surfaces. Magswitch LAY magnets allow for a much more efficient field on thinner material, allowing more consistent tip forces.
Activating the magnets Both magnet arrays are to be handled individually. Make sure the magnet arrays are switched OFF (narrow part of both ratcheting action handles pointing to the marking “OFF”) Place the magnetic drilling machine on the workpiece in the desired location, and make sure both magnet arrays are positioned correctly and the machine is in a stable position Rotate the ratcheting action handles: o For precise positioning: partly (around 90 degrees) clockwise, this allows for some...
4.6 Motor rotation The rotational direction of the motor can be changed. Switch in up position (R) will make the motor rotate clockwise Switch in down position (L) will make the motor rotate anticlockwise Before switching the rotational direction of the motor and spindle, make sure the motor is switched off first to prevent machine and tool damage.
4.9 GYRO-TEC safety This Euroboor magnetic drilling machine is equipped with GYRO-TEC safety functionality. It features a gyroscopic sensor which detects acceleration and displacement in any direction. Whenever the machine recognizes a sudden, unwanted movement the motor will be shut down automatically by the machine electronics.
WARNING: Do not use the lubrication system in vertical or overhead drilling applications. Instead use Euroboor cutting paste Make sure to use only suitable cutting oil or fluid. Euroboor offers a wide range of cutting lubricants for all tool and material combinations. Proper cooling will help you create better and faster results,...
5 Working with operation tools 5.1 Annular cutters Annular cutters only cut material at the periphery of the hole, rather than converting the entire hole to shavings. As a result, the energy required to make a hole is lower than for a twist drill. When drilling with an annular cutter, it is not necessary to drill a pilot hole.
Page 23
2. Precisely mark the centre of the hole 3. Use the pilot pin to position the machine and in the correct position, with the tip of the pilot pin to meet the marked center of the hole. 4. Switch on the magnet and verify that the drill is in the right position and that the machine is pushed tight against the work piece.
Steps 4-12: see chapter Annular cutters. Make sure the machine runs at maximum speed for twist drills! 5.3 Machine taps This TUBE.55-T model is equipped with a reversible direction of rotation and can also be used for cutting threads. Proceed as follows for cutting threads: 1. Install the tap [image 3-5] 2.
Switch on the machine again and allow the machine tap to come completely out of the work piece. Then guide the motor unit slide upwards at handles to avoid damaging the start of the thread. DO NOT LET YOUR TAP PUSH UP THE MOTOR UNIT BY ITSELF!! Make sure the properly lubricate while performing tapping work, see chapter Annular cutters 5.4 Countersinks Thanks to its wide range of operating speeds, the machine can also be used for reaming or counter-...
6. Maintenance Your EUROBOOR power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set- ups or when making repairs.
