Note: The vibration measurement was made under standard conditions in accordance with: BS EN 61029-1:2009

The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.

The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

(1.7) VIBRATION

WARNING: When using this machine the operator can be exposed to high levels of vibration transmitted to the hand and arm. It is possible that the operator could develop “Vibration white finger disease” (Raynaud syndrome). This condition can reduce the

sensitivity of the hand to temperature as well as producing general numbness. Prolonged or regular users of this machine should monitor the condition of their hands and fingers closely. If any of the symptoms become evident, seek immediate medical advice.

•The measurement and assessment of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in the workplace is given in: BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and

BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002

•Many factors can influence the actual vibration level during operation e.g. the work surfaces, condition and orientation and the type and condition of the machine being used. Before each use, such factors should be assessed, and where possible, appropriate working practices adopted. Managing these factors can help reduce the effects of vibration:

Handling

•Handle the machine with care, allowing the machine to do the work.

•Avoid using excessive physical effort on any of the machine’s controls.

•Consider your security and stability, and the orientation of the machine during use.

Work Surface

•Consider the work surface material; its condition, density, strength, rigidity and orientation.

WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. The need to identify safety measures and to protect the operator are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use

(taking account of all parts of the operating cycle, such as the times the tool is switched off, when it is running idle, in addition to trigger time).

• Loosen the Coolant/Lubrication bottle cap. This will
prevent a vacuum being created that will stop the Coolant/
Lubrication fluid from flowing.
• Gently squeeze the Coolant/Lubrication bottle to force the
Coolant/Lubrication through to the cutter.
• Lower the cutting head towards the work piece until the
cutter teeth touch the work piece and the pilot pin is
depressed, then raise the cutting head.
• Continue this process until the Coolant/Lubrication fluid is
flowing onto the work piece.

OPERATION

MAKING A CUT

Note: This machine is fitted with a 10 Amp (5 x 20mm) Surge Fuse (Fig. 7). If the machine fails to operate check the fuse. If it has blown it must be replaced with an identical type.

Correctly position the machine on the work piece, with the electro magnet energised and with the safety strap secured in place.

Check for sufficient Coolant/Lubrication fluid flowing at the cutter.

Start the motor by pushing the green switch, located in the machines switch panel.

Using the feed handles slowly lower the cutting head until the cutter makes contact with the work piece.

Continue to apply only sufficient pressure to allow the cutter to cut freely through the work piece.

Depending on the thickness of the workpiece periodically raise the cutter to clear the swarf build up prior to continuing the cut.

FIG. 9

WARNING: On completion of the cut the pilot pin will eject the material slug. This slug will be very hot with sharp edges. Use protective gloves if slug requires handling.

If the slug fails to be ejected from the cutter this could be caused by the slug becoming twisted inside the cutter. To release the slug lower the cutter onto a flat area of the work piece, this will square up the slug and allow it to be ejected.

INSTALLING THE 3 JAW CHUCK

The chuck (part HTA 153) can be fitted onto the BORA2800 machines main drive spindle, and this enables the BORA2800 to take standard twist drills up to ø13mm.

WARNING: Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains power supply when installing the 3 jaw chuck.

Note: The arbor of the BORA2800 Drilling System is machined to perfectly match the main drive spindle of the machine. Both parts are numbered with a unique code.

•Use a spanner (not supplied) to unscrew the arbor.

•Remove the arbor support bracket by removing the 4 x M5 socket headed bolts. (Fig. 8)

•Remove the coolant tank.

•Screw the chuck onto the main drive spindle. (Fig. 9)
