OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Keep the inside of the cutter clear of chips. 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, follow the control panel operation instructions.
ALWAYS switch off the motor by depressing the MOTOR stop button. DO NOT switch off the motor by
depressing the MAGNET switch.
Apply light pressure when starting the cut of a hole until the cutter is introduced into the work
surface. Pressure can then be increased sufficiently to load the motor. Excessive pressure is
undesirable, it does not increase the speed of penetration and will cause the safety overload protection
device to stop the motor, (the motor can be restarted by operating the motor start button), and may
cause excessive heat which may result in inconsistent slug ejection
Always ensure that the slug has been ejected from the previous hole before commencing to cut the
next.
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.
Apply a small amount of light oil lubricant regularly to the slide and arbor support bearing.
Cutter breakage is usually caused by insecure anchorage, a loosely fitting slide or a worn bearing in the
arbor support. (Refer to routine maintenance instructions).
Only use approved cutting fluid.

CUTTER INSTALLATION

This mag drill accepts annular cutters with 3/4" (19.05mm) diam. Weldon shanks.
1
The pilot pin is used to both center the cutter and to eject the slug on completion of the cut. It has a flat
side to allow coolant to run down to reach the center of the cut where the heat is greatest. Slide the pin
through the hole in the center of the cutter shank.
2
Lay the machine on its side with feed handles uppermost, ensuring arbor is wound down to its lowest
point to enable access to socket screws.
Take appropriate pilot and place through the hole in cutter shank. Insert shank of cutter into bore of
3
arbor, ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket screws.Tighten both screws using hexagon key.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CHANGING CUTTERS.
