Just as every magnetic drilling machine with moving parts, your Rotec magnetic drilling machine also needs
regular maintenance service. A few recommendations follow :
‐
Clean all dirt, dust, metal chips and burrs of your magnetic drilling machine
‐
Regularly check the carbon brushes for wear
‐
Replace any defective parts immediately. This prevents properly function parts from being damaged.
‐
Adjust your guide regularly and make sure it is clean and greased. This prevents any movement from
being created and the spindle, triangular guide (steady) and guide parts from excessive wear or
damage. The guide can be adjusted by loosening the setting nut (#7 on spare part drawing) with
included wrench 8, tightening the setting screws (#5 on spare part drawing) with included Allen key
2.5 and tightening the setting nut (#7) again with included wrench 8. The adjustment is done well
when the motor unit can be turned to every possible position without falling down by its own weight.
‐
Check the grease in the gearbox regularly and replace it if necessary. We recommend you to store
your machine on its side regularly so that the gear box grease can run back to where the gears are.
This is very important when you have used your machine non ‐ horizontal or upside down.
Repair, modification and inspection of Rotec Magnetic drilling machines must be done by a Rotec
authorized dealer. The parts list will be helpful if presented with the machine to the Rotec dealer for
service when requesting repair or other maintenance.
Rotec machines are constantly being improved and modified to incorporate the latest technological
advancements. Accordingly, some parts (ie part numbers and/or design) may be changed without prior
