the material. Do not connect any other machine to the same electrical outlet to which the magnetic
drill stand is plugged into, as it may result in the loss of magnetic force.
Always use the safety chain included. Drilling above your head is extremely dangerous and is not
recommended. For the use of magnetic drilling machines on pipes, not-flat or non-magnetic
materials, we refer to our catalogue or our website www.euroboor.com where several vacuum
tightening systems, pipe clamping systems and Tube machines can be found.
4.4 Switching hand drilling machine on and off
The hand drilling machine will only work with an activated magnet. To switch the power supply ON,
press the green button with marking “I”. To switch the power supply OFF, press the red button with
marking “O”.
4.5 GYRO-TEC safety
This Euroboor magnetic drill stand is equipped with GYRO-TEC safety functionality. It features a
gyroscopic sensor which detects acceleration and displacement in any direction. Whenever the drill
stand recognizes a sudden or unwanted movement the power supply will be shut down
automatically by the stand’s electronics. This safety functionality offers protection to the user in
various circumstances, such as:
- Sudden loss of magnetic force while in operation;
- Excessive vibration caused by incorrect drilling procedure, worn-out cutting tools, etc;
- Sudden displacement of the workpiece to which the drill stand is attached.
By the power shutting off automatically, risk of damaging or hurting the drill stand, tools, workpiece
and operator is reduced.
Every time the power is turned on, the drill stand’s electronics need a moment to run a systems
check and initiate the safety system. The GYRO-TEC safety feature engages three seconds after the
power is on.
It is very important to note that this functionality raises the safety level, but does not prevent the
operator from using the drill stand incorrectly. The operator should always follow instructions
described in this manual and take all necessary safety precautions.
4.6 Power surge and fluctuation protection
This drill stand is equipped with power surge and fluctuation protection, making the drill stand
suitable for use in areas and workplaces where power supply is of less quality.
The drill stand will shut down part of the electronics and the motor by itself when the drill stand
cannot cope with insufficient or unreliable power supply. This prevents the control unit(s) in the drill
stand from breaking by cause of power supply, and thus unexpected downtime and high repair cost.
In such a situation the magnet will remain switched on.
