1. During any work on non‐horizontal components, the machine must always be secured with the supplied safety chain. 2. The magnetic drilling machine may only be used on a flat and clean foundation. 3. If the machine or the lead show signs of damage, the magnetic drilling machine must be switched off immediately. 4. Wearing safety glasses, hearing protection and protective clothing is necessary. 5. Do not wear any loose clothing or jewellery that may get entangled in the moving parts of the magnetic drilling machine. 6. Use only accessories or parts that are recommended by Rotec. 7. During drill operations, the hole cutter must be cooled and lubricated with good quality cutting or lubrication oil. 8. The motor must be switched off when tightening the machine with the safety chain. 9. When changing a hole cutter, the magnetic drilling machine must be disconnected from power supply. 10. Clean the area around the machine regularly. Keep the bottom of the magnet and keep it clean and dry. 11. Regularly inspect whether all screws, nuts and bolts are tight. ...
Before use Rotec magnet drilling machines are specially designed for drilling holes is steel, possibly expanded by the possibility of tapping/reaming/countersinking (depending on model). Rotec magnetic drilling machines may not be adapted and/or used for applications other than those they were designed for, including driving other machines. Make sure that you can oversee the entire work areas from where you are operating this machine. Use barriers to keep others away. Do not use the machine in places subject to hazard of explosion‐ electrical tools produce sparks which may ignite flammable materials or gasses. To prevent electrical shocks, do not use the machine in moist or wet conditions or environments. Always operate this tool using both hands. Make sure the work piece is always clamped down safety. This magnetic drilling machine is equipped with a lead and plug approved for the country or region it is to be used in. The yellow‐green wire in the lead is the earth wire. Never connect this to a pole under voltage. All Rotec magnetic drilling machines are manufactured to use with AC current and not suitable to work on DC current. Make sure the magnetic drilling machine is connected to a stable power supply. Rotec do not recommend the use of a generator or other mobile power supply for power supply. Rotec does not recommend the use of extension cables. If there is no other way, use good quality cables and keep extension cables as short as possible. Be aware that long power leads can cause less current. 3 ‐ Items Included in Delivery Magnetic Drilling Machine YES Pilot Pin NO Carrying Case YES Morse Taper NO Drill Chuck 13mm NO Morse Taper Ejector Pin NO Tap Collets M10‐M12‐M14‐M16 NO Manual YES Allen Key 2.5 ...

Fixing screws of spindle Rotec recommends the use of cooling and lubrication agents. Not only do these assist in drilling but they will also lengthen the lifespan of your tools. One of the advantages of the use of hole cutters is that cooling and lubrication agent scan be supplied from the inside, so that the agents end up in the right place. All magnetic drilling machines from Rotec can be equipped with a automatic cooling system which provides a guaranteed supply of the cooling and lubrication agents from the inside. If your machine is not be equipped with an automatic coolant system it will still be possible to cool from the inside. Use the holes in the spindle (number 1 in picture) for this purpose by squirting the cooling and lubrication agent into the drill spindle through them NOTE : For vertical or upside‐down processing, Rotec recommends the use of a drilling compound or paste like 901.4045 or 901.4046. 5 ‐ Tool Assembly Hole Cutter Assembly 1 : Pilot Pin 2 : Center hole in shank of Hole Cutter ...
Drill Chuck Assembly The option of making our machines suitable for the use of standard spiral drills and other tools by using a cylindrical shaft is an important characteristic of Rotec magnetic drilling machines. Please see the technical data for maximum capacity. Installation of 13mm Chuck by using adapter 545.1021 The 545.1021 is a adaptor from 1/2"x20 UNF to 19mm Weldon. Attach a Drill Chuck with internal 1/2"x20 UNF on the 545.1021 adaptor. To attach the assembly into your Spindle, follow the instructions (with exception of the Pilot Pin) for installation of a Hole Cutter. Adaptor 545.1021 can be used on most machines in our program. Installation of 13mm Chuck directly on the motor unit For the RTC.32 magnetic drilling machine it is possible to install a drill Chuck directly to the shaft extending from the motor unit. Remove the Spindle by using wrench 18 and 20. Fix the extending motor shaft with wrench 18 and turn the spindle with wrench 20 anti‐clockwise. Take the spindle of the shaft and out of the triangular guide (Steady). Remove all the Allen screws below the triangular guide by using the included Allen Key no. 5. Now can install the Drill Chuck with internal 1/2"x20 UNF tread on the extending shaft of the motor unit. IMPORTANT : When reinstalling the spindle and the triangular guide (steady), you must ensure that the triangular guide (steady) does not cause any friction or resistance to the spindle as it turns. 6 ‐ The Magnetic Drilling Machine The Magnetic base Material of minimum 10mm thickness is required for the magnet to work the best. The attachment force generated by the magnet depends on various factors. ‐ Thickness of the material the magnet is placed on ‐ Paint or coating of the material the magnet is placed on. ‐ Metal chips, oil or other dirt under the magnet. If the LED indicator (see chapter 4‐3‐2) lights up GREEN, the magnet is generating sufficient attachment force. If the LED indicator lights up RED, the magnet may not generating sufficient attachment force. ...
The Control Panel The control panel on your magnetic drilling machine is designed for maximum operating facility and safety. 1 ‐ The Magnet Switch: This switch is used to switch the main power and also the magnet On and Off. This switch is included on every Rotec magnetic drilling machine 2 ‐ The On/Off Switch: This switch is used to switch the motor unit On and Off and is included on every Rotec Magnetic Drilling Machine 3 ‐ The Fuse holder with Fuse: This Fuse holder is included on every Rotec Magnetic Drilling Machine and holds the fuse type : 5x20, F2A. 4 ‐ The Magnet LED Indicator: This LED indicator shows the generated magnetic force. 10 ...
will be worn sooner. Let the cutter do the job and give it time to cut the metal !!! 7 Adjust the oil supply when necessary, if your drill does not have a auto coolant system, stop drilling regularly, refill the holes of the spindle and continue drilling. 8 Apply less pressure when the drill cuts through the material. 9 Turn the arms to put the motor in highest position and turn off the motor unit. 10 Remove the burr, metal chips and clean the cutter and surface without getting injuries. Caution : The metal piece drilled out can be sharp and very hot!! !!! IMPORTANT !!! When using your magnetic drilling machine non‐horizontal or upside‐down be aware that no oil, drilling compound or metal chips can fall into the motor unit. Rotec accepts no responsibility for damage done to your machine by such action under coverage of the warranty. 11 ...
damage. The guide can be adjusted by loosening the setting nut (#7 on spare part drawing) with included wrench 8, tightening the setting screws (#5 on spare part drawing) with included Allen key 2.5 and tightening the setting nut (#7) again with included wrench 8. The adjustment is done well when the motor unit can be turned to every possible position without falling down by its own weight. ‐ Check the grease in the gearbox regularly and replace it if necessary. We recommend you to store your machine on its side regularly so that the gear box grease can run back to where the gears are. This is very important when you have used your machine non‐horizontal or upside down. Repair, modification and inspection of Rotec Magnetic drilling machines must be done by a Rotec authorized dealer. The parts list will be helpful if presented with the machine to the Rotec dealer for service when requesting repair or other maintenance. Rotec machines are constantly being improved and modified to incorporate the latest technological advancements. Accordingly, some parts (ie part numbers and/or design) may be changed without prior notice. Also, due to Rotec's continuing program of research and development, the specifications of machines are subject to change without prior notice. ...
