2. Tools must be fastened firmly. When an annular cutter is used, check before start of
work to ensure the screws holding the cutter are tight.
3. It is not safe or productive to use blunt or damaged tools.
4. Do not use annular cutters without pilots, and arbors without ejection spring.
Do not touch or replace the annular cutter with power source on –
while electromagnetic base is being used.
5. Use tools recommended in Operator’s Manual only.
6. After use, always clean metal chips and coolant from drilling machine.
7. Always unplug the machine from the power supply during any maintenance work on the
machine.
It is not advisable to use the drill on steel less than 3/8” (10 mm) thick.
On thin steel (less than 3/8” (10 mm)) the magnet’s adhesive power would be
significantly reduced and can cause machine failure or operator injury. The
Safe Magnet technology may not allow the drill to start. Use of a thicker
backing plate under the surface to be drilled can solve this problem. The
entire surface of the electromagnetic base should be located on the work
piece! Before positioning the machine on the work surface, it is recommended
that the work surface under the electromagnetic base be sanded down with
abrasive paper to allow better adhesion!
Please follow all recommendations.
II. START UP AND OPERATION
1. Cutters and optional equipment features
The D2X uses a #2 Morse taper which makes it possible to use twist steel bits by
using our optional ½” adjustable chuck adapter. (Part # SM2MTJ)
The annular cutter (2) slides inside arbor body (1) and is fastened with screws
(3). While fastening the cutter in the socket, be aware that screws should be screwed tight
so that they do not come loose. It is important to position the cutter in relation to the socket
in such a way that the flats on the cutter shank are positioned in line with the fixing screws
(3). Both fastening screws (3) should be tightened on the cutter. The pilot (5) is located
inside the cutter. It makes it easier to position the annular cutter over the center of a
planned hole. During drilling, as the cutter goes deep into the steel, the pilot moves back
into the arbor body and tightens the discharge spring (4). This spring ejects the plug which
is a by-product of drilling a hole with an annular cutter. On occasions when there is a need
for an overlapping hole the pilot pin should not be used.
