2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying magnetic drilling machines with your finger on the switch or plugging in magnetic drilling machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
1.2 Specific safety information • Keep your fingers well out of the drill/cutter area; • Avoid touching the drilled core that is automatically ejected by the centering pin when the working procedure is finished. Contact with the core when it is hot, or if it falls, can cause personal injuries;...
2. Description 2.1 Intended use This magnetic drilling machine is intended for commercial use as a drilling machine for drilling materials with a magnetizable surface using annular cutters and twist drills in a weather-protected environment using the application tools and accessories recommended by HMT. The magnetic drilling machine can be used horizontally, vertically or overhead.

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 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. To release the ratchet feed handle from the machine, press the release button on the ratchet feed handle (image 2-2, ② and image 2-3, ②) and pull it away from the machine [image 2-3] 5. It is possible to position the ratchet feed handle on either side of the machine (image 2-4). Method of fitting and releasing (steps 1.

FITTING THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM The lubrication system can be used for horizontal drilling applications (the drill being used horizontally). 1. The coolant bottle is equipped with an extra-long hose. This hose can be cut to the desired length. 2. The coolant bottle is equipped with a magnet on the back. This makes it possible to place the coolant bottle against any ferrous product.
Page 16
3. Connect the coolant hose to the drilling by pushing it firmly into the connector on the machine (image 2-7) [image 2-7] 4. To disconnect the coolant hose, press the blue ring on the connector and gently pull out the hose...

FITTING THE SAFETY BELT The safety belt should always be used during operation. Use of the safety belt limits the risk of personal injury when for some reason magnets comes loose from the workpiece (such as loss of power supply). In no way does the use of the safety belt clear the operator from following other safety and operating instructions.
3.2 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, obtainable as accessories from HMT, e. g. suction plate, vacuum plate or pipe- drilling device must be used.
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 power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. 4.1 Carrying handle This machine is designed to be carried by hand only, with the use of the integrated retractable carrying handle.
4.2 Control panel The control panel on your magnetic drilling machine is designed for maximum operating facility and safety. 1. Magnet Switch 2. Motor Switch 3. Power Cable...
4.3 Electromagnet 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 5 mm thick for the magnet to stick, but minimal 3 mm thick to hold the weight of the machine and to drill safely.
We need to point out that this is only an indication and not a certainty that the magnet will not release from the material. HMT accepts no liability for insufficient adhesion from any cause. Always use the safety strap included. Drilling above your head is extremely dangerous and is not recommended.
5. Working with operating 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.

The white dot indicates the location of the cutter lock ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE POWER PLUG IS DISCONNECTED! Line-up one of the flats on the cutter shank with the white dot (image 3-2, ①) Rotate the lock ring in anti-clockwise direction to open the tool holder and hold the lock ring.

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 the motor and your annular cutter will be worn sooner. A continuous, non-discoloured iron swarf is a sign of correct drilling speed and a well- cooled, sharp cutter.
5.2 Twist drills This magnetic drilling machine can be used with Weldon shank twist drills. For fitment and removal, follow instructions as provided in chapter [5.1 Annular cutters].
6. 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.

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. Some signs of wear will be seen on the commutator over a period of time, as this part comes in contact with the Carbon Brushes, but any signs of abnormal damage and the part should be replaced.
