8) MAGNET DETECTION
It is advised that when working on thin material a packing piece should be used to increase the
material thickness under the magnet. Working on thin material without a packing piece will reduce
the magnet holding force.
It is advised that the drill is to be operated on ferrous material 6mm thick and above. Damage to the
magnet base, such as pitting, will affect the strength of the magnet holding force.
9) EXTENSION CABLE SELECTION
The machines are factory fitted with a 3 metre length of cable having three conductors 1.5mm²
LIVE, NEUTRAL and EARTH. If it becomes necessary to fit an extension cable from the power source,
care must be taken in using a cable of adequate capacity. Failure to do so will result in a loss of
traction by the magnet and a reduction of power from the motor.
Assuming a normal AC supply of the correct voltage, it is recommended that the following extension
lengths shall not be exceeded:
For 110v supply: 3.5 metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
For 230v supply: 26 metres of 3 core x 1.5mm²
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CHANGING CUTTERS.
10) MOUNTING OF CUTTERS
•
The machine has been made to accept cutters having 19.05mm (3/4”) dia. Weldon shanks.
The following procedure is to be used when mounting cutters:
•
Lay the machine on its side with feed handles uppermost, ensuring arbor is wound down to its
lowest point to enable access to socket screws RD4066.
•
Take appropriate pilot and place through the hole in cutter shank. Insert shank of cutter into
bore of arbor, ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket screws.
•
Tighten both screws using hexagon key.
