2 SPEED SWIVEL BASE MAGNETIC DRILLING MACHINE ORIGINAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Warning: For tools equipped with over load protection, when motor has shut down off due to over load, always run machine with no load for at least 3 minutes to reduce temperature before returning to operation to avoid burn out of the motor.

WARNING! Read and understand all instruction before operating any drilling system. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electrical shock, damage to drilling system and even personal injury. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Work area Keep your working area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and working stations causes accidents as well as dark spaces.
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep a proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

magnetic chip collector and a chip hook or other appropriate tool. CAUTION: NEVER position machine on a work piece between the electrode and the ground of any arc type welder. Damage to the machine will result, as the welder will ground through the machine’s ground cable.
MOUNTING ANNULAR CUTTERS CAUTION: Never use a cutting tool that is larger than the maximum rated capacity of the machine. To insert an annular cutter, first insert the pilot pin into the cutter. Then slide the cutter into the arbor, align the proper flat with the locking screw(s) and tighten securely with the supplied hex wrench.
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.
MT2 ANNULAR CUTTER ADAPTOR This machine is equipped with a unique annular cutter adaptor system with built-in coolant directly to the gearbox. To install the annular cutter adaptor, first insert the taper end of the adaptor into the arbor of the machine as described above.
NOTE: whenever possible, it is always preferable to lower the speed by changing the gear rather than lowering the motor speed. A slower motor speed will have less cooling and somewhat less torque so always try to keep the motor going as fast as possible. Only lower the motor speed if you have no other option.
MT2 SHANK ACCESSORIES If it is desired to use any of various MT2 shank accessories, such as twist drills, countersinks, reamers, etc., it may or may not be necessary to remove the arbor support bracket. If removal is necessary, then follow the instructions below for replacement.
TAPPING For tapping, the arbor support bracket must be removed. To Replace, see the instructions above under: "ARBOR SUPPORT BRACKET REPLACEMENT". If using the optional two jaw universal tapping chuck, simply mount the unit in the spindle, insert the tap's square into the chuck and tighten firmly. (If using an outside sourced MT2 tapping chuck &...

THE ARBOR SHAFT Keep the arbor shaft free of dirt and lightly grease as needed. If the arbor support bearing is noisy, it may be dirty or have a chip lodged in it. Remove the arbor shaft to clean and re-grease the arbor support bearing. THE GIBS (DOVETAIL SLIDES) The gibs require adjustment if too loose.

MAGNET TROUBLESHOOTING Full magnet performance is absolutely essential for magnetic drill operation. If the magnet works, but does not hold well, it is likely that one of the coils has failed. If the magnet does not work at all, it is likely to be a failed rectifier. (It is highly unlikely that both magnet coils would fail at the same time) NOTE: A faulty magnet coil can also damage the rectifier, so whenever there is a magnet problem, BOTH the magnet coils and rectifier must be checked.
