3.1 Assembly
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, turn power off and disconnect from power source
before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set- ups or when
making repairs. Be sure all switches are in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
Fitting the feed handles
1. Fit each of the three feed handles by screwing them into the hub in clockwise direction;
2. Tighten firmly by hand.
The handles are supposed to face slightly outward. Be careful not to cross-thread any of the
components.
Fitting the safety chain
1. Pass the safety chain through the frame grip opening;
2. Wrap the chain around the workpiece;
3. Securely close the chain using the lock.
WARNING:
Always use the safety chain when drilling vertically and/or up-side-down. The
safety chain does not replace the magnetic force of the drill stand: it is simply used to secure
against falling in the event of a magnet malfunction.
3.2 Prior to use
Please make sure that the contacting surface for the magnet is level, clean and rust free.
Remove any varnish or primer. When working on materials that are not magnetisable, suitable
fixation devices, obtainable as accessories from Euroboor, e. g. suction plate, vacuum plate or pipe-
drilling machine must be used.
When working on steel materials with a material thickness of less than 6 mm (1/4"), the workpiece
must be reinforced with an additional steel plate in order to guarantee the magnetic holding power.
Check the drill stand for possible damage; Before using the drill stand, you must carefully check the
protective components or slightly damaged components to ensure they are operating perfectly and
as intended.
Check that moving parts are in perfect working order, do not jam and check whether the parts are
damaged. All parts must be correctly installed and fulfill all conditions necessary to ensure perfect
operation of the drill stand.
Damaged protective components must be repaired or replaced according to specifications by
Euroboor or any authorised Euroboor dealer.
DO NOT
use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
DO NOT
let children come into contact with the drill stand. Supervision is required when
inexperienced operators use this tool.
