Before you cut
Before positioning the machine on work piece always make sure that:
- work piece is made of ferrous material
- thickness of work piece is adequate for secure magnetic adhesion (mild
steel - 10mm is recommended)
- Ensure no part of magnet overhangs the steel workpiece
- 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 annular cutter in the machine before plugging it into mains.
Place the machine so that the tool is over the centre of the hole you intend to make
and turn the magnetic base ON.
Always make sure prior to use that the machine is secured from falling
down with a chain/strap.

Cutting
- Choose a suitable lubricating fluid and fill the coolant tank.
The cooling system is an integral part of the machine and should always be used.
Warning: The cooling system works gravitationally, therefore it can be used
only when in vertical position of the drilling machine. In other positions, a
cutting paste should be used
- Check workings of cooling system. Open the coolant tank’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 the groove in pilot pin. 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.
- Select a suitable rpm speed for the machine to run at, using the table below as a guide.
Once a suitable speed has been decided upon, select that speed using the two gear switches
on the front and side of the gearbox.

5. Machines operator has not checked condition of the drilling machine, condition of air hose,
control panel or cutting tool.
6. Machine is not secured with safety chain as a protection from falling down especially when
used at heights or in vertical or upside-down positions.
7. Bystanders are present in the immediate vicinity of machine.
Important rules of safe use of drilling machine
1. Before attempting to work with the machine check condition of air hose and coupling.
2. Make sure that the drill is supplied with purified air and oiled.
3. Machine can be used outdoors, but is not weatherproof. Do not expose to rain, snow or
frost.
4. Machine should not be used on: rusty surfaces, steel plates covered with paint, uneven
surfaces, or steel plate which is being welded on.
5. In all cases always use a safety chain/strap. See drawing 1. The safety chain must not be
loose!
6. Do not use the machine in explosion hazard zones.
7. Do not start work if the machine has excessive play on guide slides.
8. Always wear safety goggles and ear protection.
