5.3 Before you cut
Before positioning the machine on work piece always make sure that:
-
work piece is made of steel;
-
thickness of work piece is at least 3/8” (10 mm)
-
surface of steel under the magnet is flat
-
wipe, brush or sand down clean surface where you intended to place the
drilling machine, so that you remove rust, paint, dirt etc which would reduce adhesive
power of the electromagnetic base.
Install drill bit, milling cutter or other tooling such as tap or reamer in the machine
before plugging it into mains. Then plug it in (see paragraph 3) and position where
you wish to use it. Place the machine so that the tool is over the centre of the hole
you intend to make and turn the magnetic base ON.
Prior to use always make sure that the machine is secured from falling
down with original chain (as described in paragraph 4 “Important rules of safe
use of drilling machine”).
5.4 Cutting
-
Cooling and lubricant fluid commercially available in concentrated are
recommended to use for cooling twist drill and annular cutter.
It’s allowed to use of emulsions formed from a mixture of water and drilling oil.
Do not use clean water as the liquid cooling and lubricant.
The cooling system is an integral part of the machine and should always be used.
(see point 5.8)
Warning: The cooling system can only be used when drilling machine is
in vertical position. In other positions additional external source of cooling
should be used, for example: a coolant bottle with a long nozzle.
-
Check working of cooling system. Open coolant reservoir’s tap and apply
pressure on the pilot by turning spokes counter clockwise. As the pilot starts to sink
into the cutter cooling liquid should start to run down cutters inner wall. If there is no
liquid flowing down check if the tap is fully opened. It may take a few seconds for
cooling liquid to fill the whole system.
-
Turn the motor on.
Bring the cutter gently into contact with the work piece and slowly start to
apply pressure on the cutter.
