3. Use the pilot pin to position the machine in the correct position, with the tip of the pilot pin
to meet the marked center of the hole;
4. Switch on the magnet and verify that the drill is in the right position and that the machine is
pushed tight against the work piece;
5. Put open the valve of your lubrication system to release the oil;
6. Switch the motor on and allow it to run at the required speed;
7. Turn the feed handles to start drilling. Apply only a slight pressure when the annular cutter
touches the metal. Do not push the annular cutter with force into the metal;
8. Apply a regular pressure while drilling. The drilling performance does not improve by putting
more pressure on the machine. Too much pressure will overload the motor and your annular
cutter will be worn sooner;
A continuous, non-discoloured iron swarf is a sign of correct drilling speed and a well-
cooled, sharp cutter. Let the cutter do the job and give it time to cut the metal!
9. Adjust the oil supply when necessary;
10. Apply less pressure when the drill cuts through the material. The slug will be pushed out of
the cutter by the pilot pin;
11. Turn the feed handles to put the motor in highest position and switch off the motor unit;
12. Remove the burrs, metal chips and clean the cutter and surface without getting injuries.
Caution : The metal slug can be sharp and very hot!

2. Fit the Weldon shank twist drill directly to the gearbox output shaft;
3. Precisely mark the center of the hole, and use the tip of the twist drill to position the
machine in the correct position, with the tip of the twist drill to meet the marked center of
the hole.
