PRO 100 21. Do not use on surfaces that are rough, not flat, not rigid, or have rust, paint, chips, or dirt. 22. Do not use if the gibs are adjusted incorrectly. 23. Do not use if there is no grease on the gibs. 24.
PRO 100 3. SYMBOLS Before using the machine, read the description of the following symbols (Tab. 1). Wear eye protection Wear ear protection Refer to instruction manual Warning against electric voltage Tab. 1. Description of symbols...
PRO 100 4. STARTUP AND OPERATION 4.1. Installing the handles Attach the handles to the feed shaft. You can install the shaft so that the handles are on the opposite side of the machine. To do this, lift the motor to the maximum and continue in the sequence that follows.
PRO 100 4.2. Installing and removing the arbor, MT3 twist drill bit, or tap chuck Unplug the power cord and lift the chip guard (1). Turn the handles to the right (2) to lift the motor. Use petroleum ether to clean the spindle and the arbor (drill bit,). Then, clean them with a dry cloth.

PRO 100 To remove the arbor (drill bit), continue as follows. If the arbor has a nut (1), remove the nut. Next, lift the motor and turn the spindle (2) to align the holes in the spindle and gearbox (3). Put the drift into the hole (4). Next, hold the carrying handle with one hand and hit the drift with a mallet (5).
PRO 100 4.3. Installing and removing the annular cutter Install the arbor as described before. Use gloves to put the correct pilot pin into the annular cutter (1). Use a dry cloth to clean the arbor and the cutter. Put the cutter into the arbor (2) to align the flat surfaces (3) with the screws (4).
PRO 100 4.4. Installing and removing the cooling system Attach the bottle to the bracket (1). Put the hose with the spring (2) between the stop rod and the body (3). Then, attach the hose to the fitting and move the spring to the arbor (4, 5).
PRO 100 4.5. Monitoring system of the magnetic clamping force The drilling machine has a system that monitors the clamping force of the electro- magnetic base. The force will be lower if there is rust, paint, chips, or dirt. The force will be lower also if the surface is thin, rough, not flat, not rigid, the voltage is lower than required, or the bottom of the base is worn.

PRO 100 Use the safety strap to prevent fall and injury if the machine loses the clamping. Attach the machine to a stable structure by putting the strap through the hole in the machine body. In the horizontal position, attach the strap to the carrying handle. Make sure that the strap is tight and not twisted.
PRO 100 4.7. Drilling Set the speed based on the table that follows. Maximum hole diameter Rotational speed* Tool [mm] [in] [rpm] 3 5/32 100 (gear I) 2 3/64 175 (gear II) HSS annular cutter 1 19/64 275 (gear III) 45/64 500 (gear IV) 100 (gear I)

PRO 100 Turn the gear switch as shown in the figure until you feel resistance. Incorrect setting can damage the gearbox. ✓ CORRECT INCORRECT ✗ Rotation direction Rotation direction Steel of strength of R ≥ 500 N/mm (70,000 psi), such as St5 (E295), 18G2A (S355N), or 45 (C45), requires lower speeds.

PRO 100 When you use an annular cutter, drill only through holes. For incomplete through holes do not use the pilot pin. Incomplete through holes Complete through holes Keep the machine in the same position until the hole is made. When you use a drill bit, drill holes with diameters of 20-31.75 mm (25/32-1 1/4″) in two steps.
PRO 100 Tighten the bottle cap, close the valve, and then press the pilot pin to remove the coolant that remains in the cooling system. Before you put the machine into the box, remove the bottle, and use gloves to remove the tool from the holder. 4.8.
PRO 100 4.9. Replacing the motor brushes When the brushes are worn, the machine turns off. To replace the brushes, unplug the power cord and remove the cover (1). Lift the spring (2) and remove the brush. Install in reverse sequence. Then, let the motor operate with no load for 20 minutes. Use only genuine brushes.
