8) GEAR SELECTION
The Element 40 magnetic drill is fitted with a 2 speed gearbox. The gear is used to
reduce the output speed when using larger cutters.
Up to 30mm diameter cutters, gear position 1 should be used.
30 – 40mm diameter cutters, gear position 2 should be used
9) MAGNET DETECTION
It is advised that when working on thin material a packing piece should be used to increase the
material thickness under the magnet. Working on thin material without a packing piece will reduce
the magnet holding force.
It is advised that the drill is to be operated on ferrous material 6mm thick and above. Damage to the
magnet base, such as pitting, will affect the strength of the magnet holding force.
