6. Maintenance
Your EUROBOOR power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set- ups or
when making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
Just as every magnetic drilling machine with moving parts, your Euroboor magnetic drilling machine
also needs regular maintenance service. A few recommendations follow :
VISUALLY CHECK THE MACHINE FOR DAMAGE
Machine must be checked before operation for any signs of damage that will affect the operation of
the machine. Particular notice must be taken of the mains cable, if the machine appears to be
damaged it should not be used failure to do so may cause injury or death.
CLEANING
- Clean all dirt, dust, metal chips and burrs of your magnetic drilling machine
- Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and
around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and an approved dust mask
- Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool.
These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with
water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
The machines operation must be checked to ensure that all components are working correctly.
Replace any defective parts immediately. This prevents properly function parts from being damaged.
CARBON BRUSHES
Brushes should be checked to make sure there is no abnormal wear present. This should be checked
at least once a week if used frequently. If the carbon brush has worn more than 2/3 the original
length the brushes should be changed. Failure to do so may cause damage to the machine.
CHECK MAGNETIC BASE
Before every operation the magnetic base should be checked to make sure that the base is flat and
there is no damage present. An uneven magnet base will cause the magnet not to hold as efficiently
and may cause injury to the operator.
CHECK MACHINE OIL
The gearbox oil should be checked and replaced at least once a year to ensure maximum lubrication
and cooling, and thus the best performance of the machine.
