Alternatively, remove the slug from the annular cutter after each hole. Caution, the slug may be sharp and hot! 5. Avoid spilling cutting oil. Apply EUROBOOR cutting paste or spray when using the machine on non-horizontal surfaces. 6. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.
SERVICE Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance • performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the • maintenance section of this manual.

RESIDUAL RISKS In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are: Impairment of hearing • Risk of personal injury from flying particles • Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation •...
2. Description 2.1 Intended use This pneumatic drilling machine with permanent magnetic base for commercial applications in potentially explosive atmospheres can be used on flat surfaces but is specifically intended as a machine for drilling holes, countersinking and reaming in materials like steel tubes and pipes with a magnetisable surface in a weather-protected environment.
2.3 Case contents 1 x TUBE.55/AIR magnetic drilling machine 1 x Instruction manual 3 x Handles 1 x Oil tank + attachment pin 1 x Bottle of cutting oil 3 x Allen keys (2.5, 4 and 5 mm) 1 x Safety chain with lock...
2.6 Symbols Symbol Term, meaning Explanation Be sure to read the enclosed documentation such Read documentation 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! European conformity symbol...
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 the air supply 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.
Damaged protective devices and parts must be repaired or replaced according to specifications by EUROBOOR of any authorised EUROBOOR dealer. DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases. DO NOT let children come into contact with the machine. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this machine.
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 air supply source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
4.2 Morse taper arbor [image 4-2] [image 4-3] 1. Make sure the inside of the output shaft and the Morse Taper 3 (MT3) arbor are clean and free of grease 2. Align the coolant ring rotation limiter with the recess in the gearbox (A) 3.
4.3 Magnet base By combining Magswitch’s rotating magnet technology and EUROBOOR’s pneumatic drilling unit, we have created a tool that is capable of quickly and safely drilling on contoured and flat surfaces in potentially explosive atmospheres. Magswitch magnets allow for a much more efficient field on thinner material, allowing more consistent tip forces.

Place the magnetic drilling machine on the workpiece in the desired position, 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°) clockwise, this allows for some manoeuvrability o For drilling: 180°...
While keeping the release lever pressed, return the ratcheting action handle to the position where the narrow part points to the marking “OFF”. Not using the release lever may damage the action handle and affect the function of the magnet [image 4-7] Disconnect the machine from the air supply 4.4 Switching motor on and off...
Instead use EUROBOOR cutting paste or spray 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...
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.
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.

1. Remove the Morse Taper 3 (MT3) arbor for Weldon shanks (see paragraph Morse Taper spindle) 2. Fit a MT3 spindle connection a. EUROBOOR code 1/2UNF-MC3 for 1/2" x 20 UNF drill chuck connections b. EUROBOOR code B16-MC3 for B16 drill chuck connections 3. Fit the appropriate twist drill chuck to the spindle 4.
1. Remove the Morse Taper 3 (MT3) arbor for Weldon shanks (see paragraph Morse Taper spindle) 2. Fit a twist drill with a MT3 shank 3. For twist drills with a MT2 shank fit an MT3-MT2 adapter (EUROBOOR code IBK.MC3-MC2) before fitting the drill (see below) [image 5.3 | fitting drill with MT3 shank] [image 5.4 | fitting drill with MT3-MT2 adapter]...
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. To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from the air supply before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs.
