WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. MAGNETIC BASE Material of minimum 10 mm thickness is required for the magnet to work the best. The attachment force generated by the magnet depends on various factors. Thickness of the material the magnet is placed on; Paint or coating of the material the magnet is placed on; Metal chips, oil or other dirt under the magnet. If the LED indicator (see page 13) lights up GREEN, the magnet is generating sufficient attachment force. If the LED indicator lights up RED, the magnet may not generating sufficient attachment force. WARNING: Do not use this machine when LED indicator is RED. Magnet may not generate sufficient attachment force We would like to point out that this is only an indication and not a certainly that the magnet will not release from the material. Euroboor accepts no liability ensuring from the magnet indicator not functioning or functioning poorly. Make sure that the magnet attaches tightly to the work piece before turning on the motor unit of the magnetic drilling machine. Euroboor magnets have 2 coils; make sure that both coils are in contact with the material. Do not connect any other machines to the electrical outlet the magnetic drilling machine is plugged into, as it may result in the loss of magnetic force. Always use the safety chain included. Drilling above your head is extremely dangerous and is not recommended. For the use of magnetic drilling machines on pipes, not‐flat or non‐magnetic materials, we refer to our brochure or our website www.euroboor.com where several vacuum tightening systems and pipe clamping systems are mentioned.

TEMPERATURE The ECO.50‐T is equipped with an all‐time electronic temperature protection. If the temperature of the motor unit runs up to 70 Degree Celsius the motor unit will stop. After a few minutes it can be started again and we recommend running the motor unloaded with the electronic speed adjustment set on 100% in order to let the motor unit cool down. DRILLING A HOLE Now that you have read the explanatory information and safety recommendations above, you are ready to actually start drilling. Follow these 10 steps for best drilling result : Use the tip of the pilot pin to determine the center of the hole to be drilled. Turn the magnet on and verify that the drill is in the right position and that the machine is pushed tight against the work piece. If your machine is equipped with a auto coolant system, put open the valve to release the oil. If your machine does not have a auto coolant system, fill the holes of the spindle with oil. 4 Turn the motor on at the highest setting and allow it to run at full speed. 5 Turn the arms to start drilling. Apply only a slight pressure when the Annular Cutter touch the metal. Do not push the Annular Cutter with force into the metal. 6 Apply a regular pressure while drilling. The drilling performance does not improve by putting more pressure on the tool. Too much pressure will overload the motor and your Annular Cutter will be worn sooner. Let the cutter do the job and give it time to cut the metal!!! 7 Adjust the oil supply when necessary, if your drill does not have a auto coolant system, stop drilling regularly, refill the holes of the spindle and continue drilling. 8 Apply less pressure when the drill cuts through the material. 9 Turn the arms to put the motor in highest position and turn off the motor unit. ...

DRILLING CONDITIONS The ease with which material can be drilled depends on several factors including tensile strength and abrasion resistance. Whilst hardness and/or strength is the usual criterion, wide variations in machineability can exist among material showing similar physical properties. The drilling conditions are dependent on requirements for tool life and surface finish. These conditions are further restricted by the rigidity of the tool and the work piece, lubrication and machine power available. The harder the material, the lower the cutting speed. Some materials of low hardness contain abrasive substances leading to rapid cutting edge wear at high speeds. Feed rates are governed by rigidity of set‐up, volume of material to be removed, surface finish and available machine power. THREADING The machine is equipped with a reversible direction of rotation and can also be used for cutting threads. Proceed as follows for cutting threads: Drill the hole for the thread on the recommended size of the tap; Switch off the machine (Fig. 2‐2) and change the cutter for the tap collet and the machine tap. Keep the machine in the same position; Select the lowest gear (Fig. 4) and lowest speed (Fig. 2‐5) and set the direction of rotation to clockwise (right = R) at switch (Fig. 2‐1); Switch on (Fig. 2‐2) the machine and set the machine tap onto the drilled hole; Guide the machine slide down at the handle (Fig. 1‐2) without exerting; Switch off (Fig. 2‐2) the machine (just before the tap is completely through the hole) and set the direction of rotation to anti‐clockwise (left = L) at switch (Fig. 2‐1). Switch on the machine (Fig. 2‐2) again and allow the machine tap to come completely out of ...

Add more cutting fluid if the shavings (metal chips) become blue. VERTICAL AND OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS Dip the cutter in cutting paste or apply an appropriate spray. LUBRICATING THE FEED TRAVEL The feed travel should be lubricated periodically with grease to ensure smooth operation. Raise the motor unit to the highest position possible; Lubricate the dove‐tail guide way at both sides; Lubricate the gear rack. After repeated use, the gear rack may become loose. If necessary, adjust the 5 self‐locking set screws at the left side. Tighten screws in series until the gear rack moves freely in the dove‐tail guide but does not allow the motor to wobble. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when performing this procedure. WARNING: 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.

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. CAUTION : Clean all dirt, dust, metal chips and burrs of your magnetic drilling machine 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. CARBON BRUSHES Brushes should be checked to make sure there is no abnormal wear present. This should be checked at least once a week if used frequently. If the carbon brush has worn more than 2/3 the original length the brushes should be changed. Failure to do so may cause damage to the machine. 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. CHECK MACHINES GREASE The gearbox grease should be checked once a month to ensure all moving components are covered to prevent wear. The grease should be changed at least once a year to ensure you gain the best from the machine. CHECK ARMATURE ...

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 brass rail strips and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the wear surfaces. 2. Commencing with the top screw, loosen both setting nut (#4 on spare part drawing) with included wrench 8 and the setting screw (#5 on spare part drawing) with included Allen key 2.5. Then gently feed in setting screw until slight resistance is encountered. Follow your way down adjusting all setting nuts and screws. 3. Operate the slide up and down a few times to test the movement and make any further necessary adjustments. Try to ensure that all the screws are exerting a uniform pressure on the slide from top to bottom. A perfectly adjusted slide will operate freely up and down without any sideways movement.
