Slugger 17985, Operator'S Manual

1.  Select correct pilot pin and place in cutter shank from the rear. Align flats on cutter shank with arbor body set  

  screws. Insert cutter into arbor body.

2.  Tighten set screws securely on cutter shank flats.

 NOTE:

 Set screws should be recessed in arbor body when tight.

3.  The surface you are working on should be clean and flat, and free from rust, scale, dirt and chips.

4.

Fill coolant reservoir with a water-soluble cutting fluid.

5.

Place Slugger® machine on workpiece with pilot pin over the center of hole to be drilled.

6.

Connect machine to power source.

7.   Lower Slugger® cutter to surface of material to be cut. Once the pilot makes contact, coolant will be released down 

the milled slot on the pilot and into the Slugger® cutter. Coolant flow can be stopped by lifting pilot pin off work 

  surface or shutting off coolant valve. 

NOTE:

 Be sure coolant valve is open. Regulate coolant flow by adjusting 

  coolant valve on coolant bottle.

The safety strap must be securely fastened to machine and around work being drilled. Loop strap around work piece 

  and connect strap ends by attaching to D-rings on drill. 

NOTE:

 Safety strap is intended only to restrain the drill to the  

  work piece in the event of a power failure to the magnetic base. 

9.  Position chip guard toward work area before drilling.

1.  Move magnet switch to “ON” position. Switch will illuminate to indicate power is present – magnetic base should  

  be firmly secured to workpiece at this time. Thin materials may require an additional steel backing plate to achieve

  proper magnet adhesion.

2.  Start drill motor by depressing green motor “ON” button.

3.  Using the feed handles, advance cutter into material until Slugger® cutter has established an external groove 

  in the material. During the remainder of the cut apply smooth constant pressure without overloading motor.

  NOTE:

 Slugger® cutters are designed for uninterrupted cutting. Chips are evacuated during the cut. Do not peck  

  drill when using Slugger® cutters.

4. 

NOTE:

 This machine is equipped with motor overload protection circuitry. An overload indicator light will turn on if  

  the motor load is excessive. If the motor load is increased beyond this point, the motor will shut off and the overload  

  indicator light will remain on. To restart the motor, first press the red motor “OFF” button. The overload light will turn 

  off, and the green motor “ON” button can now be pressed to restart the motor. See caution below.

3.

Move magnet switch to “OFF” position when ready to release magnetic base from work surface.

4.

Move magnet switch to “DEMAG” position for one or two seconds to reduce residual magnetism.
