(3). Next, attach the bottle hose to the hose fitting (4) and slide the spring to the hose end (5) to rest the spring on the arbor (6). To remove the bottle, proceed in reverse order. spring Fig. 7. Installing the cooling system bottle D2X Operator’s Manual...
3.4. Control system of the electromagnetic base holding force The D2X drilling machine incorporates a holding force control system to monitor the clamping of the electromagnetic base to the surface. The force value depends on several factors, such as type, thickness, flatness, and roughness of the surface, presence of paint, rust or other contaminants, fluctuations of supply voltage, and the wear of the electromagnetic base bottom.

The fluid should fill the system and begin flowing from the inside of the cutter. Because the cooling system works by means of gravitation, use a cooling paste when working in horizontal or inverted positions. D2X Operator’s Manual...
Tighten the bottle cap, close the valve, and then press the pilot pin to expel the coolant remaining within the cooling system. Before inserting the machine into the tool box, remove the bottle, and then wear gloves to remove the tool from the holder. D2X Operator’s Manual...
Next, use the 4 mm hex wrench to tighten the gib screws: central screw (6), adjacent screws, and then top and bottom screws. Finally, use the 8 mm combination wrench to tighten the nuts (7), while countering the set screws using the 2.5 mm hex wrench (8). D2X Operator’s Manual...
(6) and the brush (7). If the length of the brush is less than 5 mm (0.2’’), replace both brushes with new ones. To install brushes, proceed in reverse order. After the replacement, run the motor without load for 20 minutes. Fig. 10. Replacing the brushes D2X Operator’s Manual...
