[3] OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the inside of the cutter clear of swarf. It restricts the operating depth of the cutter.
●
Ensure that the coolant bottle contains sufficient cutting oil to complete the required operating
●
duration. Refill as required.
Occasionally depress the pilot to ensure cutting fluid is being correctly metered.
●
To start the machine, first switch on the magnet. And then start the motor by pressing the GREEN start
●
button.
Apply light pressure when commencing to cut a hole until the cutter is introduced into the work
●
surface. Excessive pressure is undesirable, it does not increase the speed of penetration.
Always ensure that the slug has been ejected from the previous hole before commencing to cut the
●
next.
(Right)
Always cut overlapping holes as illustrated above – do not use excessive pressure and ensure cutting
●
fluid is reaching teeth of the cutter.
If the slug sticks in the cutter, move the machine to a flat surface, switch on the magnet and gently
●
bring the cutter down to make contact with the surface. This will usually straighten a cocked slug and
allow it to eject normally.
Cutter breakage is usually caused by insecure anchorage and a loosely fitting slide. (Refer to routine
●
maintenance instructions).
[4] EXTENSION CABLE SELECTION
The machines are factory fitted with a 2-meter length of cable having three conductors 1.5mm² LIVE,
NEUTRAL and EARTH.
If it becomes necessary to fit an extension cable from the power source, care must be taken in using a
cable of adequate capacity. Failure to do so will result in a loss of traction by the magnet and a
reduction of power from the motor.
Assuming a normal AC supply of the correct voltage, it is recommended that the following extension
