    4 Preparation & adjustment 4.1 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. 4.1.1 Fitting the feed handles Take the feed handle (x 3), and screw each one in turn into the pinion shaft.
  • Page 14 To remove the feed handle from the machine, first lower the slide until it is at its lower most position. Unscrew the M6 cap screw (item 1) and remove the pinion shaft retainer (item 2). The pinion shaft and feed handle assembly (item 3) can now be withdrawn. [image 3] It is possible to position the feed handle on either side of the machine (image 4).

  • Page 15: Mounting The Drill Guard

    4.1.2 Mounting the drill guard The drill guard protects against ejection of sharp and/or hot chippings, it also protects against accidental contact with rotating parts and must always ALWAYS be mounted during operation. 1) Ensure the drill mounting bracket (1) is attached to the motor lower support and is secure. 2) Slide the drill guard (2) up to the bracket.

  • Page 16: Fitting The Cooling System

    4.1.3 Fitting the cooling system Description of the cooling system. The coolant system consists of the following items:- 1. Coolant bottle 2. Flow adjustment tap 3. Coolant tube 4. MT3 Arbor with integral coolant collar 5. Stay Bar The coolant system has a cutter holder (4) with an integral collar which allows coolant to be fed down through the centre of the cutter whilst rotating.

  • Page 19: Fitting The Safety Strap

    4.1.4 Fitting the safety strap The safety strap should always be used during operation. Use of the safety strap reduces the risk of personal injury if for some reason there is a loss of magnetic adhesion and the magnet comes loose from the workpiece (such as loss of power supply). The purpose of the safety strap is to prevent the machine from falling or spinning should there be a loss of magnetic adhesion.

  • Page 20: Prior To Use

    4.2 Prior to use 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 are obtainable as accessories from HMT, e. g. suction plate, vacuum plate or pipe-drilling clamp must be used.

  • Page 23: Motor Nvr Switch

    5.2.2 Motor NVR Switch The Motor NVR Switch (image 13 – item 2) operates the motor spindle. NVR = No Volt Release – The motor switch has an undervoltage release mechanism to switch off the motor if the supply voltage reduces. The switch must be manually reset when the power is retuned, this is a safety feature.

  • Page 24: Speed And Torque Control

    5.3 Speed and Torque Control SPEED CONTROL The VERSADRIVE V125T has both Mechanical and Electronic Speed and Torque control. The mechanical speed control is by 2 sliding speed selector, with 1 positioned on either side of the motor gearbox. The mechanical speed position should be set first, choosing the lowest gear ratio will provide the best torque.

  • Page 26 TORQUE / POWER BOOST CONTROL In addition to the Electronic Speed Control, the VERSADRIVE V125T has a Torque / Power Boost Control. This control is primarily for situations where the Electronic Speed Control is at a low position or slow speed and extra Torque or Power is required.

  • Page 27: Electro-Magnet

    5.4 Electro-Magnet Make sure the magnetic drilling machine is placed on a smooth, clean, level and solid surface without any objects or debris in between to guarantee maximum adhesion. The workpiece must be at least 10 mm thick for the magnet to sufficient to operate the machine. When cutting thin material, it is possible to enhance magnetic adhesion by temporarily adding a piece of similar material to the workpiece on underside to increase the total thickness.

  • Page 28: Emergency Stop

    It is the responsibility of the operator to make sure the workpiece offers the best basis for the magnetic drilling machine to adhere and that the machine is secure before use. 1) Place the machine on the workpiece 2) Connect the machine to the power supply 3) Position the machine in the exact desired spot 4) Press the red magnet switch to activate the magnet, the magnet switch will illuminate.

  • Page 29: Tool Lubrication

    5.6 Tool lubrication MACHINE IN UPRIGHT DRILLING POSITION In order to use the lubrication system, the tank must be filled with a cutting fluid or oil 1) Make sure the flow regulator is closed. 2) Unscrew the fluid reservoir cap. 3) Fill the fluid reservoir with cutting fluid or oil.

    VERSADRIVE RAPID LOCK ADAPTORS The VERSADRIVE V125T is supplied as standard with a VERSADRIVE RAPID LOCK Weldon adaptor. The VERSADRIVE RAPID LOCK Weldon adaptor can also be used to adapt other magnetic drill. This adaptor fits directly into the Weldon arbor of the machine to allow rapid loading of all VERSADRIVE tools/cutters.
  • Page 34 DRILLING CONDITIONS The ease with which material can be drilled depends on several factors such as the tensile strength and hardness. Whilst hardness and/or strength is the usual criterion, wide variations in machinability can exist among material showing similar physical properties. The drilling conditions are dependent on requirements for tool life and surface finish.
  • Page 35 Insert the cutter and pin into the machine arbor, ensure both of the cutter shank flats align with the fixing screws on the machine arbor. Once the cutter is aligned and pressed fully home tighten the two Allen screws with the key supplied. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE POWER PLUG IS DISCONNECTED! [image 18] Standard Arbor - Guard not shown for clarity.
  • Page 36 7. Use the feed handle to lower the cutter to the workpiece, begin with relatively light pressure until a groove is formed. 8. Apply a regular pressure while drilling. The drilling performance does not improve by putting more pressure on the tool. Too much pressure will overload and slow the motor and as a result your annular cutter will become worn sooner.

  • Page 38: Maintenance

    7 Maintenance Your HMT 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.
  • Page 39 CHECK GEARBOX GREASE The gearbox grease should be checked and replaced at least once a year to ensure maximum lubrication and cooling, and thus the best performance and durability of the machine. CHECK ARMATURE This should be checked at least once per month to check that there are no visual signs of damage to the body or to the commutator.
  • Page 40 To adjust the slide 1) Lower the slide to its lowest point 2) Adjust each of the 5x screws, in turn as below. 3) Refer to [image 20]. Release the locknut with an 8mm spanner. 4) Adjust (tighten) the socket set screw with a 2.5mm Allen key. 5) Check the slide movement and keep readjusting until there is a slight resistance.
