OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
●
Keep the inside of the cutter clear of swarf. It restricts the operating depth of
the cutter.
●
Ensure that the coolant bottle contains sufficient cutting oil to complete the
required operating duration. Refill as required.
●
Occasionally depress the pilot to ensure cutting fluid is being correctly metered.
●
To start the machine, first switch on the magnet. And then start the motor by
depressing the GREEN start button.
●
Apply light pressure when commencing to cut a hole until the cutter is introduced
into the work surface.
Excessive pressure is undesirable, it does not
increase the speed of penetration.
●
Always ensure that the slug has been ejected from the previous hole before
commencing to cut the next.
(Right)
(Wrong)
●
Always cut overlapping holes as illustrated above – do not use excessive pressure
and ensure cutting fluid is reaching teeth of the cutter.
●
If the slug sticks in the cutter, move the machine to a flat surface, switch on the
magnet and gently bring the cutter down to make contact with the surface. This will
usually straighten a cocked slug and allow it to eject normally.
●
Cutter breakage is usually caused by insecure anchorage and a loosely fitting slide.
(Refer to routine maintenance instructions).
