USE OF SAFETY CHAIN
The safety chain should be used to prevent the drill unit from
falling in the event of a power failure or if the magnet breaks
loose from the work surface. The safety chain should be
attached to the drill by running it through the “D” ring located at
the rear of the magnet, and tightly secured.
INSTALLATION OF CUTTING FLUID BOTTLE
1. With Magnetic Drill in operating position, turn feed handle
so that cutter and pilot are above the work surface.
2. Set coolant bottle in carrying handle yoke with valve
facing toward the spindle of the drill. Press down to seat
nipple into port.
3. Tighten mounting screw on back of coolant bottle.
4. To test cutting fluid flow (with the magnet ON and motor
OFF), feed the arbor gently toward the work surface until
the pilot is pushed up into the cutter. Open valve on
coolant bottle cap. Fluid should filter down onto the work
surface through the groove in the pilot.
5. To insure proper cutter lubrication, always make sure
that the slot in the pilot is kept clean.
HOUGEN CUTTER INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect from power source.
2. Lay drill on its side with feed handles up or be sure Arbor
clears table if unit is in normal operating position.
3. Remove set screws from spindle.
4. Insert proper pilot in shank end of Hougen Cutter. Pilot
#24131 is recommended for use with spring loaded
ejection on cutters 3/4” diameter and larger.
5. Insert Hougen Cutter until flats on cutter shank are
aligned with set screw holes and are exactly perpendicular
to axis of set screw holes. If 1/2” diameter shank cutter
is used, slip (10851) Arbor Adapter over the cutter shank
with adapter hole positioned exactly over flat on cutter
shank prior to inserting into Arbor bore.
6. Insert set screws and tighten. Check to be certain that
cutter is secure.
