6. Maintenance
Your EUROBOOR power tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set- ups or
when making repairs.
Be sure the switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
Just as every magnetic drilling machine with moving parts, your Euroboor magnetic drilling machine
also needs regular maintenance service. A few recommendations follow :
VISUALLY CHECK THE MACHINE FOR DAMAGE
Machine must be checked before operation for any signs of damage that will affect the operation of
the machine. Particular notice must be taken of the mains cable, if the machine appears to be
damaged it should not be used failure to do so may cause injury or death.
CLEANING
-
Clean all dirt, dust, metal chips and burrs of your magnetic drilling machine
-
Blow dirt and dust out of the machine components with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting
in and around it. Wear approved eye protection and an approved dust mask
-
Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool.
These chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with
water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
The machines operation must be checked to ensure that all components are working correctly.
Replace any defective parts immediately. This prevents properly function parts from being damaged.
CHECK MAGNETIC BASE
Before every operation the magnetic base should be checked to make sure that the base is flat and
there is no damage present. An uneven magnet base will cause the magnet not to hold as efficiently
and may cause injury to the operator.
When the machine us put out of use for a longer period, apply a small amount of machine oil to the
underside of the magnetic base for rust protection. Clean the magnetic base again with next use.
ADJUSTMENT OF SLIDE
An essential requirement of the machine is that the slide can move in a smooth and controlled
manner, free of lateral movement and vibration.
This situation can be maintained by periodic adjustment of the slide and is accomplished in the
following manner:
1.
Place the machine in an upright position and, by means of the capstan, raise the slide to its
highest position. Clean the aluminum rails and apply a small amount of light machine oil to
the wear surfaces
