Magnetic Drilling Machine
Operating Manual
6. Handy Tips
TIP: Do not use your magnetic drill on the same structure when ARC welding is in
progress. D.C. current will earth back through the magnet and cause irreparable damage.
TIP: It is recommended that machine is laid to rest every 30 minutes in order to permit
grease to run across the gear box .
TIP: For 100% magnet clamping force you need at least 10 mm of steel. Coatings,
paintings and dirt between magnet and workpiece will affect clamping force.
TIP: Most situations which cause problems or question marks have already occurred for
other users. Contact Schifler or your dealer to see if a solution exists for your situation.
(example: for drilling into non-magnetic material with your magnetic drill, a special
vacuum system has been designed).
TIP: During drilling it is recommended after a certain depth the cutter should be pulled up
on free load in order to permit grease to run across the gear box.
WARNING: After drilling the slug will be ejected and is very hot.
WARNING: When drilling in inverted position, cutting oil can enter the motor and can
cause irreparable damage.
WARNING: When drilling in inverted position, metal swarf can enter the motor. This can
cause irreparable damage and can cause electrical shocks.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
TIP: When using models with gear and variable speed always select a setting with low
transmission ratio and high motor speed, if possible.
WARNING: Steel plates of less than 10 mm thickness, coatings, paints and dirt between
magnet and workpiece can affect clamping force and create a possible dangerous
situation. Always make sure your magnetic drill is fastened with the supplied safety chain
and make sure your machine is sufficient attached to the workpiece to start drilling.
