For switching the magnet ON (figure 11).
Pay attention that the set-up surface for
the magnetic foot is flat, clean, rust-free
and ice-free. Remove varnish,
putty/filler layers and other materials. Pre-
vent an air gap between the magnetic foot
and the set-up surface. The air gap reduces
the magnetic holding power.
When working, always use the magnetic
foot; pay attention that the magnetic holding
power is sufficient:
– When the green button on the control
panel lights up permanently, the magnetic
holding power may be sufficient and the
machine can be operated with normal
feed.
– When the Magnet button on the control
panel flashes, the magnetic holding power
possibly is insufficient and the machine
must be operated with reduced feed.
When working non-magnetic materials,
suitable FEIN fastening devices, such as vac-
uum plates or pipe drilling devices, which
are available as accessories, must be used.
Observe the corresponding operating
instructions for these.
When working on steel materials where the
material thickness is below 1/2 in (12 mm)
mm, the workpiece must be made thicker
with an additional steel plate in order to
ensure the magnetic holding power.
The magnetic foot is monitored by means of
a power sensor. If the magnetic foot is
defective, the motor will not start.
Danger of burns! The surface
CAUTION
of the magnet can reach high
temperatures. Do not touch the magnet
with your bare hands.
Press the magnet switch to energize the
magnet.
