WARNING
To reduce the risk of in-
jury, always keep hands,
gloves, rags, clothing, etc. away from
moving parts and chips. Do not try to
remove chips while the cutter is rotat-
ing. Chips are sharp and can pull objects into
moving parts.
8. Start the drill motor by pulling the
ON(I) / OFF(O) switch out, by
both sides, to the on(I) position.
The drill motor will not start if the
magnet icons are not aligned,
activating the magnet.
WARNING
Excessive force
on the feed handle
will break magnet free.
9. Even large bits only require a
small amount of pressure on the feed handle.
When feeding the cutter into the material, apply
only enough force to produce a curled chip. Apply
-
ing too little force will result in small broken chips
and increased cutting time. Applying too much
force will cause overheating of the cutter resulting
in short cutter life. Overheating of the cutter can
be noticed when cutter and chips turn brown or
blue. Excessive force can cause the cutter to slow
down to a point where cutting time will increase.
The use of cutting lubricants will reduce cutting
heat and increase cutter life
Use less feed pressure when slotting or notching
because there is less support for the cutting edges
in these situations.
10. Keep constant pressure throughout the entire
operation to prevent chips and burrs from falling
under the cutting edges. Cutting debris under the
cutter can make cutting difficult or impossible.
11. When the cut is complete, withdraw the cutter
while the spindle is still rotating.
12. Stop the drill motor by pushing in the ON(I) / OFF(O)
switch.
13. When the spindle has stopped rotating, use a
pliers to remove cutting debris and chips from the
cutter and spindle. Use care to avoid damaging
the cutter teeth.
14.
The center pin is spring loaded. Provide protection
from ejected slug for people and property below
cutting area.
15. Firmly grip the tool and rotate the magnet knob
to disengaging the magnet.
16. When drilling on pipe, use the accessory pipe
adaptor 48-10-0130 and the safety strap.
