ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Recharge only with the charger
specifi ed for the battery. For spe-
cifi c charging instructions, read the operator’s
manual supplied with your charger and battery.
Inserting/Removing the Battery
To
remove
the battery, push in the release buttons
and pull the battery pack away from the tool.
To
insert
the battery, slide the pack into the body
of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.
Attaching Feed Handle
1. Line up the anvil and slide the handle into place
on the desired side of the tool.
2. To remove, press the center button and pull the
handle away from the tool.
Do not use a wrench, pipe, or any other lever in place
of the feed handle.
Motor adjustment lever
The motor adjustment lever is used to raise and lower
the motor on the slide rail. Always hold the motor
securely before loosening the adjustment lever.
Installing the Cutting Fluid Bottle
1. Ensure the valve is in the off (sideways) position.
2. Fill the bottle with HAWG WASH
®
cutting fl uid.
3. Attach the bottle bracket to the drill.
4. Attach the hose to the fi tting on the side of the drill.
OPERATION
WARNING
Always remove battery pack before
changing or removing accesso-
ries. Only use accessories specifi cally recom-
mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Typical Operation
1. Check the work surface to make sure it is clean
and free of foreign materials.
Paint, rust, scale or uneven surfaces decrease the
holding strength of the magnet. Chips, burrs, dirt
and other foreign materials on the surface of the
magnetic base will also decrease holding power.
Use a smooth, fl at fi le to keep the magnet clean
and free of nicks.
The drill attaches magnetically to 1/4" or thicker
ferrous stock. Do not use on stock less than 1/4".
The magnetic base WILL NOT hold on nonmag-
netic grades of stainless steel.
2. To install/remove cutter:
A. Remove battery pack.
B. Raise the drill motor to its highest position on
the slide rail.
C. Twist the quick-change arbor. Insert the cut-
ter into the arbor and release collar. Tug on
cutter to ensure it is secure. Cutter should be
fully seated into spindle.
D. Reverse procedure to remove cutter.
NOTE:
Do not remove cutter unless slug is
removed. Slug may eject unexpectedly. Avoid
contact with cutter tips. Periodically inspect the
cutter tips for loose or damaged tips.
NOTE:
If the cutter does not release from the arbor
when the collar is turned, use a locking pliers to
grasp the cutter above the cutter fl utes. Holding
the collar securely in one hand, rotate the pliers
clockwise to release the cutter from the arbor.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
hold workpiece by hand.
3. Select High Speed or Low Speed , depending
on your application.
4. Position the tool so the center pin is directly over
the desired cutting location. Rotate the magnet
knob to engage the magnet. The magnet icons will
align
. The drill motor will not start if the magnet
is not engaged with the work surface.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
use a safety strap on vertical, over-
head, and pipe applications. Mounting can re-
lease.
5. Use a safety strap on vertical, overhead, and pipe
applications.
A. Route the safety strap, through the lower
slots, and wrap it tightly around a solid, rigid
structure. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
B. Snap the safety strap snaphooks together.
Eliminate any slack in the strap.
C. When using on a vertical surface, secure the
safety strap with a c-clamp or similar device.
This will hold the strap in place and prevent
the tool from sliding down the vertical surface.
Do
not
clamp to the strap. This may damage
the strap and cause it to break.
WARNING
Do not use cutting fl uid in an over-
head or any other position that
allows cutting fl uid to enter motor or switch en-
closure.
6. Insert battery pack.
7. With the on(I) / off(O) switch in the off(O) posi-
tion, turn the cutting fl uid bottle valve to the on
(downward) position. Cutting fl uid will be released
as the center pin contacts the work surface.
Failure to lubricate properly will cause cutter dam-
age. The use of HAWG WASH® cutting fl uid is
recommended for long life of these cutters. The
operator is responsible for the application of lubri-
cants other than Hawg Wash® cutting fl uid.
In overhead or vertical cutting applications, do
not use cutting fl uids. Use only lubricant pastes
or sprays recommended for high speed cutting.
Do not allow lubricant pastes and sprays to enter
tool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
i n j u r y, a l w a y s k e e p
hands, gloves, rags, clothing, etc.
away from moving parts and chips. Do
not try to remove chips while the cut-
ter is rotating. Chips are sharp and can pull ob-
jects into moving parts.
8. Start the drill motor by pulling
the on(I) / off(O) switch out, by
both sides, to the on(I) position.
The drill motor will not start if the
magnet is not engaged with the
work surface.
WARNING
Excessive force
on the feed handle
will break magnet free.
9. Even large bits only require a small amount of
pressure on the feed handle.
When feeding the cutter into the material, apply
only enough force to produce a curled chip. Apply-
ing too little force will result in small broken chips
and increased cutting time. Applying too much
force will cause overheating of the cutter resulting
in short cutter life. Overheating of the cutter can be
noticed when cutter and chips turn brown or blue.
Excessive force can cause the cutter to slow down
to a point where cutting time will increase. The use
of cutting lubricants will reduce cutting heat and
increase cutter life. Use less feed pressure when
slotting or notching because there is less support
for the cutting edges in these situations.
10. Keep constant pressure throughout the entire
operation to prevent chips and burrs from falling
under the cutting edges. Cutting debris under the
cutter can make cutting diffi cult or impossible.
11. When the cut is complete, withdraw the cutter
while the spindle is still rotating.
12. Stop the drill motor by pushing in the on(I) / off(O)
switch.
13. When the spindle has stopped rotating, use a
pliers to remove cutting debris and chips from the
cutter and spindle. Use care to avoid damaging
the cutter teeth.
14. The center pin is spring loaded. Provide protec-
tion from ejected slug for people and property
below cutting area.
15. Firmly grip the tool and rotate the magnet knob
to disengaging the magnet.
16. When drilling on pipe, use the accessory pipe
adaptor 48-10-0130 and the safety strap.
