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).

HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful.
If you suspect that paint on the surface
of material you wish to cut contains lead,
seek professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself. Once the dust has been deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. As
some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter microscopic particles.

to ensure the security and continuity of the
mains power supply.
• Ensure that the machine has a dedicated
power supply.
• Employ a lock on device to ensure that the
mains power supply cannot be interrupted or
compromised accidentally.
• Do not use other appliances on the same
power socket, as any variation in voltage
caused by the connected appliances could
result in the electromagnet deactivating
• Where power is supplied by an ‘on site’
generator set, ensure that the generator set
is reliable and well maintained, and that the
fuel tank contains sufficient fuel to allow
completion of the task.
• The application of relevant warning labels is
strongly recommended.
TRANSPORTING AND HANDLING.
Magnetic D rills are heavy machin es, and care must
be taken whe n handling or transpor ting them.
• When transporting or moving a Magnetic
Drill, always use the carrying handle or other
carrying aids provided.
• Always ensure that the dovetail slide and
drilling head is in its lowest position and
locked in place.
• Do not transport a Magnetic Drill with a

have to carry or lift a Magnetic Drill.
• Hold the machine close to your body when
lifting. Bend your knees so that you can lift
with your legs not your back. Use the lifting/
carrying handle(s).
• Never attempt to carry a machine by the power
cord. Serio us damage will be caused t o the cord
connect ions and insulation. This co uld result
in elect ric shock, fire or s erious mechanical
malfunc tion if the machine is use d again.
• Lock the drilling head and dovetail slide in its
lowest position to guard against unexpected
movement.
• Tighten all locking screws and check all
ancillary screws for tightness before moving
or carrying the machine.
PRE USE CHECKS
Before ever y use cycle check:
• The mains plug for any damag e. If damage is
evident the p lug must be replaced.
• The whole machine for any other signs of
damage. If any da mage is evident the machin e
must not be us ed until the damage has be en
repaired by a qualified technician using genuine
replaceme nt parts where nece ssary.
• The security and condition of the safety guard. A
machine mus t not be used without a ser viceable
safety guard fitted.
• That the feed handles are securely attached to
the feed sp indle boss.
• That the safety chain or safety strap is fully
servi ceable with no damaged li nks or connector s
(safety chain) or damaged webbing or buckle
(safety s trap). If damage is found repl ace the safety
chain or strap.
• That the dovetail slide is correctly adjusted
and operates smoothly and without any
binding or excessive sideways movement. The
cutting head should not fall freely under its

COOLANTS AND LUBRICANTS
The use of coolants or lubricants will aid the
cutting process and prolong the life of the
cutter and the machine.
• When using coolants or lubricants, ensure
that they do not run down the mains cord to
the mains plug and supply outlet.
• Do not allow coolant or lubricant to enter the
machine’s ventilation openings.
• When using the machine in an inverted
position or on a vertical surface, use cutting
paste instead of a liquid cutting fluid.
• If the machine is to be used to cut material
that may create dust, such as cast iron, dust
extraction equipment (not supplied) should
be employed. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the use of such equipment.
The operator should also wear a suitable
respiratory protection mask.
PREPARATION AND SETTING UP
Note: The electromagnet employed in these
machines is designed to adhere to ferrous
metallic surfaces only.
• Always thoroughly prepare the material
surface before attaching the machine.
• The material surface must be clean, flat and
free from rust, protective coatings, grease or
any other debris such as chips or swarf from
previously drilled holes.
• Check the surface of the magnetic base
ensuring that it is not damaged and is free of
any chips or swar f from previous use.
• Do not use these machines on a structure
where ‘arc’ welding is taking place.
WARNING: Attaching these machines to
material where the thickness is less than that
specified in this Instruction Manual could result
in a potentially dangerous situation. Magnetic
performance is progressively reduced as the
material thickness is reduced.
DURING CUTTING OPERATIONS
WARNING: The swarf and the ‘slug’ produced
when drilling holes using an annular cutter will
be hot and sharp.
• When using annular cutters ensure that the
ejected ‘slug’ cannot endanger anyone in the
vicinity.
• If working at height, some form of collection
device to prevent the ejected ‘slug’ from
falling the ground may be necessary.
• Care must be taken with the ejected ‘slug’ as
it will be both hot and sharp. Prote ctive gloves
should be worn when handling a ‘slug’.
• These machines can be used on a vertical
surface or even upside down provided there
is sufficient magnetic adhesion. Extra care
must be taken when drilling ver tically or in
an inverted position, as the sharp swarf and/
or chips created may fall to ground. Always
wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment).
SAFETY CHAIN OR SAFET Y STRAP
Note: These machines are supplied with either
a Safety Chain or a Safety Strap depending
upon market destination. Safety must be
paramount at all times when using these
machines. All safety features must be used.
• To prevent possible operator injury the
safety strap or chain must be used during
cutting operations.
• The safet y strap or chain will provide extra
security in the event of supply failure or
electrical malfunction.
• The safet y strap or chain should be attached
to the machine preferably passing through
the carrying handle. The chain or strap should
also be attached to the work-piece in such
a manner as to prevent the machine from
detaching and falling from the work-piece in
the event of magnet deactivation.
Note: When drilling some very large flat
horizontal plates, the fitting of a safety strap
or chain may not be feasible. If this is the case
consult the responsible person for guidance.

agreement.
• When all testing has been completed, turn the machine ‘off.’
INSTALLING AN ANNULAR CUTTER
ALL MACHINE S
• Select a cutter that is suitable for the task to be performed.
WARNING: Annular cutters are very sharp. It is recommended
that the operator wears protective gloves whilst handling a
cutter during installation or removal.
• Check that the cutter is sharp and is not damaged in any way.
WARNING: Damaged or ‘dull’ cutters should not be used.
• Insert the pilot pin into the cutter ensuring that it slides
through the bore in the cutter smoothly. (Fi g.11)
• Raise the machine’s Cutting Head to its highest position.
• Check that the cutter securing set screws located in the end of
the arbor ( Fig. 12) are not protruding into the arbor bore.
• Align the two (2) ‘flats’ machined in the cutters shaft with the
set screws in the arbor.
• Insert the cutter shaft into the bore of the arbor.
• Start to tighten one of the set screws whilst at the same time
very slightly rotating the cutter backwards and forwards.
Continue until the set screw has set tled onto the flat.

SETTING UP
Note: These machines should only be used
for hole boring/drilling whilst attached to the
work-piece by the electromagnetic base.
EVOMAG75 can also be used for tapping holes
if it is fitted with a suitable clutched chuck (not
supplied). Follow the instructions supplied
by the chuck manufacturer when conducting
tapping operations.
WARNING: Ensure that any operator has
read and understood this manual. Attention
should be drawn particularly to the section on
intended and prohibited uses of this machine
contained within this manual.
WARNING: These machines are intended
for use in any position, but only if the
electromagnet is in full working order and has
sufficient hold on the work-piece.
• Extra care and operator vigilance should be
exercised if the machine is to be used on a
vertical surface or in an inverted position.
• The safety chain or strap must be securely
attached to the work-piece and preferably pass
through the carrying handle of the machine.
• The safety chain/strap must be secured to
both the machine and to the work-piece in
such a way as to ensure that the machine
cannot become completely detached from
the work-piece in the event of magnet
deactivation.
• The safety chain/strap should not be used
as an alternative to the magnet for clamping
purposes.
• Have the workplace setup checked by the
person responsible for workplace safety
(Safety Officer) before cutting operations are
commenced.
COOLANT/LUBRICANT DELIVERY
Note: It is recommended that high quality
water soluble oil is used as other coolants/
lubricants may have a high viscosit y and not
flow easily to the cutter.
• Fill the coolant tank with suitable coolant/
lubricant liquid.
• Ensure that the ON/OFF tap is in the ON
position.
• Ensure that the work-piece is flat, clean
and free from any rust, coatings or other
contamination.
• Position the machine on the work-piece and
energise the electromagnet by operating the
red rocker switch.
• Check that the machine is firmly attached to
the work-piece.
• Loosen the coolant tank screw top slightly. This
will prevent a va cuum being created in the tank
as fluid is delivered to the cutter.
• Gently squeeze the coolant tank to begin the
delivery process.
• Lower the cutting head towards the work-
piece until the cutter teeth are just about to
touch the work-piece, and the pilot pin has
been pushed up into the cutter.
• Raise the cutting head.
• Repeat this process until coolant/lubricant
fluid is flowing freely onto the work-piece.
• Adjust the ON/OFF Tap to give the fluid flow
required.
Note: In some circumstances and when the
machine is orientated in some ways, liquid
coolant delivery may not be possible. If this is
the case use a suitable ‘cutting paste’ applied
to the cavity of the cutter and directly to the
work-piece before cutting operations begin.
The ‘cutting paste’ may need to be replenished
during the cut ting process.
WARNING: Only replenish ‘cutting paste’ after
the motor has been switched ‘OFF’ and it and
the cutter are completely stationary.
GENERAL GUIDANCE
HOLE CUTTING WITH ANNULAR CUTTERS
Note: EVOMAG28 is fitted with a 10 Amp 230V (5 x 20mm)
Surge Fuse. This is located in a fuse holder found in the
machine’s switch panel. (F ig. 13) If the machine fails to operate,
check the fuse. If it has “blown”, replace it with an identical type.
• Correctly position the machine on the work-piece, with the
electromagnet energised and the safety chain/strap securely
in place.
• Check for sufficient coolant/lubricant flow at the cutter.
• Start the motor by pressing the green push-button located on
the machine’s switch panel.
• Using the feed handle, slowly lower the cutting head until the
cutter makes contact with the work-piece.
• Continue to apply only sufficient gentle pressure to allow the
cutter to cut freely through the work-piece.
• Depending upon the thickness of the work-piece, it may be
beneficial to periodically raise the cutter and clear any build up
of ‘swarf’.
WARNING: Only clear ‘swarf’ from a cut with the cutting head
raised and the arbor, cutter and motor completely stationar y.
• Continue the cut to completion and then turn ‘OFF’ the
machine’s motor.
WARNING: On completion of the cut the pilot pin will eject
the material ‘slug’. This ‘slug’ will be very hot with very sharp
edges. Make adequate arrangements to safely contain or ‘catch’
an ejected slug thereby ensuring the safety of any colleagues
working nearby. Consult the site Safety Officer for extra specific
guidance.
Use protective gloves if the ‘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 ejec ted.
INSTALLING A 3 JAW CHUCK
EVOMAG 28
A three (3) jaw chuck (par t HTA153) can be f itted into the main
drive spindle of this machine. This enables EVOMAG28 to take

• Use an appropriate cutting paste and apply it
into the hole before threading operations b egin.
• For standard right hand threads set the
selector switch to forward rotation.
• Position the machine onto the work-piece
with the magnet energised and the safety
chain attached.
• Ensure that the machine is positioned so that
the tap ‘lines up’ with the hole and enters the
hole accurately.
• Switch the motor ‘ON’ and gently lower the
cutting head until the tap just begins to enter
the hole and starts to cut the thread.
• Allow the tap to determine the feed rate. A light
touch on the fe ed handle is all that is required
once the tap has b egun cutting the thread.
• When the hole has been threaded switch the
machines motor ‘OFF’.
• Set the selector switch to reverse rotation.
• Switch the motor ‘ON’ and allow the tap to
withdraw from the hole.
WARNING: General engineering practice
over many years has determined the ideal
‘tapping size hole’ required for each size of
tap. Consult an engineering reference book
or chart to ensure that the tap you wish to
use is compatible with the holes drilled in the
work-piece.
• Once the tap exits the hole switch the
motor ‘OFF’.
