magnetic chip collector and a chip hook or other appropriate tool.
CAUTION: NEVER position machine on a work piece between the electrode and the ground of any arc
type welder. Damage to the machine will result, as the welder will ground through the machine’s
ground cable. When drilling stacked work materials, always stop to clear the slug after the first layer is
drilled.
WARNING: Do not operate the machine on a workpiece which is being welded on at the same time. This
may lead to damage to the machine and possible injury.
WARNING:NEVER attempt to use machine with incorrect current or abnormally low voltage. Check
machine nameplate to ensure that correct voltage and Hz are used. When drilling non-ferrous (non-
magnetic) work materials, only use a manufacturer- approved fixture such as a vacuum base adapte.
Magnet Base Duty Cycle
Do not leave the magnet base activated continuously for more than 60 minutes. If the magnet base is
overheated, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before continuing.
This machine is not intended for production-line type use.
CAUTION:Turn the magnet base off when not in use. Leaving the magnet base on continuously will
damage it.
WARNING: For safe magnetic adhesion, the minimum thickness of the workpiece must be at least
10mm.
ASSEMBLY
Coolant tank assembly required. First attach clear tube to the bottom of the coolant tank. To do this, first
loosen the nut and slide nut onto the tube. Then slide tube onto the nipple. Then tighten the nut. Slide tank
hanger over the screw on the upper right hand side of slide and tighten. Finally insert the other end of the
tube into the quick-release connector in the gearbox. Just directly push in to install. (To remove, first firmly
push the red collar of the connector and pull the tube out.) Cutting coolant fluid is always required when
using annular cutters. Open tank cover and fill. Check coolant fluid level often. Keep coolant tap closed when
not in use.
Chip guard must be used. To attach the chip guard, use the supplied butterfly bolts to bolt to the magnet. It
is not necessary to remove guard to clean chips. Simply raise guard to its upper position.
Safety chain must be used. Loop chain around the work piece and feed through the machine’s handle and
clip in place.
