Gear Selection The UNIBOR E4000 magnetic drill is fitted with a 2-speed gearbox. The gear is used to reduce the output speed when using larger cutters. The Element 40 magnetic drill is fitted with a 2-speed gearbox. The gear is used to reduce the output speed when using larger cutters.
Extension Cable Selection The machines are factory fitted with a 9 ¾ft length of cable having three conductors 14AWG 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.
Mounting Of Cutters • The machine has been made to accept cutters having 3/4” dia. Weldon shanks. The following procedure is to be used when mounting cutters: • 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 RD4066.
