Re-Setting The Machine - DeWalt DWE1622 Instruction Manual

• It the accessory jams, stop the motor and gently raise the
accessory out of the workpiece before resuming work.
• Always use the safety chain.
• Always use the drill guard.
PRIOR TO OPERATION:
• Try a few simple projects using scrap material until you develop a
"feel" for the machine.
Switching on and off (Fig. 1, 10)
In order to operate properly, the
machine has to be switched following
the procedure as described below
SWITCHING THE POWER ON
AND OFF
Connect the machine to the mains.
To turn the power on, press the
power/magnet switch (A) to the on
position (I).
NOTE: Once the power is switched
on the magnet will automatically be
activated.
To turn the power off, press the power/magnet switch to the off (O)
position.
SWITCHING THE DRILL MOTOR ON AND OFF
The drill motor can only be switched on when the magnet is activated.
To turn the drill motor on, press the green button (C) on the motor
switch.
To turn the drill motor off, press the red button (B) on the motor
switch.

RE-SETTING THE MACHINE

If the power is interrupted during use, or if at any point the magnetic
seal is broken, the machine must be reset.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION (FIG. 10)
The DEWALT magnetic drill is fitted with an overload protection
feature to prevent damage to the motor if excessive loads are applied

during operation.
The LED indicator light (N) will flash as a warning that excessive load is
being applied, if this happens reduce the pressure being applied until
the light is constant green. If pressure is not reduced the overload will
activate cutting power, at which point the LED will be a solid red. If this
N
overload
occurs run the unit at no load for several seconds to allow the motor
to cool before resuming the drilling operation.

1. Switch off the drill motor first, and then the magnet.
2. Ensure that the work area is clean.
3. Switch on the power/ magnet.
1. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid / coolant on the cutting
area.
2. Lower the guard so that it screens the surface to be drilled.
3. Make sure the drill point or cutter pilot is properly installed over the
spot to be drilled.
4. Press green button (C) on the motor switch to the start motor.
5. Slowly feed the accessory into the workpiece using the feed
handle.
6. At the start of the cut, apply light pressure to allow the accessory
to perform the initial groove.
7. Continue applying sufficient pressure to achieve a smooth
progressive cut. Do not force.
