Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read All Instructions
2. Grounding Instructions
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with
a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug
to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green
(or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal. (Refer to Plug Diagram)
Section A
3. Safe Electrical Connection
Your Mag Drill is rated for use on 115VAC (Plug A) or
230V (Plug B) at 50-60Hz. Do not attempt to use drill on
power sources rated other than this. Wet electrical
connections are shock hazards. To prevent the cutting
fluid from traveling along the cord and contacting the
plug or power outlet, tie a drip loop in the power cord.
Also elevate extension cords or gang box connections.
4. Extension Cords
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool's plug. Replace or repair damaged
cords. Make sure the conductor size is large enough
to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause
loss of power and possible motor damage.
5. Do Not Force Tool
It will do the job better and faster at the rate for which
it was intended.

6. Keep Work Area Clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
Keep dirt and chips from under the Cutter area.
7. Consider Work Area Environment
Do not expose tool to rain.
Do not use tool in damp or wet locations.
Keep work area well lit.
Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or
gases. Disconnect from power source when changing
cutters or maintaining drill.
8. Guard Against Electric Shock
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
9. Keep Children Away
Do not let visitors contact tool. All visitors should be
kept away from work area while in use.
10. Store Idle Tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, and
high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.
11. Use Right Tool
Do not force small tool or attachment to do the job
of a heavy duty tool.
Do not use tool for purpose not intended — for
example — do not use a circular saw for cutting tree
limbs or logs.
12. Non-Conforming Cutting Tools
Your Mag Drill is designed to use Hougen Cutters.
The use of drilling tools having different shank styles
is not recommended as they may not tighten securely
in the drill arbor with risk of accident or injury.
13. Secure Work
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
tool.
14. Always Wear Safety Glasses or Goggles

Important Safety Instructions - Continued
15. Dress Properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They might
entangle with spinning chips or get caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid foot
wear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear sturdy leather gloves when working indoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
16. Do Not Abuse Cord
Never carry drill unit by its cord or yank it to discon-
nect from receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
17. Do Not Overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all time.
18. Maintain Tools With Care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance.
Do not use dull or broken Hougen Cutters.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and, if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service
facility.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
19. Disconnect Tools
Disconnect when not in use, before servicing, and
when changing cutters or accessories.
20. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches
Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it
on.
21. Check Damaged Parts
Before further use of the drill, a part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this operator
manual. Do not operate tool if switch does not turn
it on and off.
22. Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized
service center.
23. Outdoor Use Extension Cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
24. Additional Safety Precautions
Arbor and cutter should never be used as a hand hold. Keep hands and clothing away from all moving
parts. Do not use Hougen Cutters where ejected slug
might cause injury (slug ejected at end of cut).
Also, adhere to all operating instructions. Do not drill
through any surface that may contain live electrical
wiring. Drilling into a live wire could cause exposed metal
parts of the drill to be made live. Remove chips wrapped
around Cutter and arbor after each hole. With motor off
and power disconnected, grasp chips with leather gloved
hand or pliers and pull while rotating counterclockwise.
Should the cutter become jammed in the work, stop the
unit immediately to prevent personal injury. Disconnect the
drill from the power supply and loosen jammed cutter by
turning the arbor counterclockwise. Never attempt to free
the jammed cutter by starting the motor. Service at
authorized repair center only.
25. Operating Near Welding Equipment
DO NOT operate this unit on the same work surface that
welding is being performed on. Severe damage to the
unit, particularly the power cord, could occur. This could
also result in personal injury to the operator.
26. Circuit Breaker
Changing of the circuit breaker to a higher amp rated
breaker, or bypassing the circuit breaker is not
recommended and is cause for cancelation of the
product warranty.
27. Circuit Breaker Operation
The circuit breaker is a thermal circuit breaker. When it
reaches the higher temperature rating it will trip and cause
the unit to shut down. This is a protection device and can
be reset after 5 to 10 seconds of cool down period. To
reset the circuit breaker, press the breaker button back in.
If it does not reset, let the unit cool a little longer until you
can push the button in and it stays in position.
28. Safe Electrical Connection
Wet electrical connections are
shock hazards. To prevent the
cutting fluid from traveling along
the cord and contacting the plug
or power outlet, tie a drip loop as
shown. Also elevate extension
cords or gang box connections.
29. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Operating Instructions
Adjustment of Gibs
Always remember that the magnet’s holding power is
directly related to the workpiece thickness and surface
condition. Since magnetic attraction diminishes with
thinner material or rough surfaces, mechanical clamping of
drill unit to workpiece should be used when cutting thin
material (3/8” or less) or material with uneven surfaces.
Note: Always form a loose knot in the power cord
close to the molded plug. This prevents cutting fluid
from running down the cord and into the power
receptacle. (Refer to the diagram within the Safety
Instructions in this manual)
1. Make sure workpiece and bottom of magnet are free
of chips, oil, etc.
2. Secure unit to workpiece with safety chain.
3. Position drill by sliding it and gently feeding Arbor so
that pilot point is touching center of hole to be drilled.
4. Turn magnet ON by pressing the magnet ON button.
5. Move Impactor Slide Hammer up and down several
times, rapping base sharply to insure Impactor Point
is seated in workpiece and magnet is flush with
workpiece.
6. Turn Feed Handle, raising the cutter until the pilot is
above the work surface.
7. Open the cutting fluid valve several full turns (Models
10909 and 10914 only)
8. Make certain that cutter is clear of workpiece and turn
motor On by pressing the motor START button.
9. Feed the cutter slowly into workpiece. Only
after cutting path is established to a depth of about
1/16” can full force be applied to feed handles.
10. Ease up on feed pressure as cutter starts breaking
through.
11. At conclusion of cut, turn motor OFF by pressing
motor STOP button. Turn feed handles to raise Arbor
thereby ejecting the slug if it hasn’t already fallen free.
12. Turn magnet OFF by pressing the magnet OFF
button. As the magnet de-energizes, the rear of the
magnet should lift up off the work surface.
13. Disconnect from power source.
14. If necessary, remove chips from cutter and magnet.,
preferably wearing leather work gloves and/or with
pliers.
15. Disconnect safety chain and you are ready to move
unit to new drilling position.
1. Loosen all Gib Screws (40237)
2. Feed the drill in and out a few times and then, with top of
motor slide flush with top of housing, tighten the Gib
Screws until you feel them touch the Steel Gib (40225)
3. Feed the drill in and out again.
4. Adjust Gib screws so that there is uniform pressure from
top to bottom. (Top of motor slide flush with top of
housing)
5. Turn each Gib Screw in about 1/8 to 1/4 turn, depending
upon your preference.
6. Gibs should be tight enough so that slide moves in and
out smoothly with no wobble or shaking. (looseness will
cause cutter breakage)
Safety Switch Adjustment
1. Unplug unit from power source and place it on a flat
sheet of steel that is at least 3/8” thick. Only magnet
portion should be on steel plate. Rear support block
(containing Glide Post and Impactor) should hang over
the edge of the steel plate.
2. Remove Access Hole Screw (10977) from back of
housing.
3. Insert 5/32” Allen Wrench into access hole and back off
(counterclockwise) Microswitch Adjusting Screw (10969)
about three full turns.
4. Plug unit into power source and turn magnet ON.
Depress and hold motor START switch ON while simulta neously turning Microswitch Adjusting Screw clockwise
until motor starts. Once the motor starts release the Motor
On Switch. Turn the adjusting screw 1-1/2 turns clock wise. This will set the Microswitch.
Testing of Microswitch
1. Plug unit into power source. Turn Magnet and motor
switches ON. Strike side of magnet at rear with a rubber
hammer. Motor should shut off before the magnet moves
1/2” in any direction. If the test was successful, replace
the Access Hole Screw (10969). If the unit failed the test,
recheck the Microswitch Adjustment.
NOTE: Safety switch adjustment should be checked
regularly following the procedures outlined above.
Special Instructions for horizontal or
Overhead Operation
1. Always Use Safety Chain.
2. Use grease or animal-fat base solid lubricant applied
liberally to cutter.
3. For horizontal use, apply cutting fluid to external parts
of cutter with plastic bottle or oiling can.
#1 cause of cutter
breakage and pre-
maturely dull teeth
is too little feed
pressure

Checking Operation of
Automatic Cutting
Fluid Inducer
Note: The automatic cutting fluid inducer system works
on a gravity flow basis. Therefore, it is only effective
when the drill is mounted on a horizontal or slightly
inclined work surface.
1. With Magnetic Drill in operation position, turn feed
handle so that the cutter and pilot are above the work
surface.
2. Fill cutting fluid bottle with cutting fluid.
3. To test automatic cutting fluid inducer (with the magnet
ON and motor OFF), feed the arbor gently toward the
work surface until the pilot is pushed up into the cutter.
Open the needle valve until fluid is visible filling the
plastic tube. Fluid should filter down onto the work
surface through the groove in the pilot.
4. To insure proper cutter lubrication, always make sure
that the slot in the pilot is kept clean from residual
buildup.

Checking Operation of
Cutting Fluid Reservoir
(10909S & 10914S)
1. With magnetic drill in operating position, turn feed
handle so that cutter and pilot are above the work
surface.
2. With magnet turned ON and Motor OFF, fill reservoir by
introducing cutting fluid through slots in Arbor. Cutting
fluid should not leak out.
3. Test metering capabilities of Arbor/Cutter/ Pilot
assembly (magnet ON-motor OFF) by feeding the
Arbor gently toward work surface until pilot is pushed
up into Cutter, thus allowing fluid to filter down onto
work surface through groove in pilot.
4. For proper lubrication, all cutting fluid in reservoir
should empty onto work surface in no less than 15
seconds and no more than 30 seconds.

Drill Maintenance
In order to minimize wear on moving parts and insure
smoother operation and longer life, the following
maintenance should be done periodically, based on use.
1.At intervals of 500 holes or 10 hours of actual running
time, check all fasteners for tightness and retighten if
necessary. This is especially important for fasteners
required for smooth, efficient cutting action. These
include: Gib screws and nuts, motor hold down
screws, skid plate screws, bracket mounting screws
and nuts, housing bolts, clamp screw and front
support bracket bolts.
2.Coolant bottle must be attached to inducer under
pressure with shut-off valve open to lubricate inducer
o-rings whenever motor, is running.
3.Apply grease to slide dovetails, brass gibs, and the
feed gear rack. (For best results, use Shell Cyprina-RA
or equivalent.)
4.Remove front support bracket from arbor and pack
bearing with grease. (Shell Cyprina-RA or equivalent)
