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 lug 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. If your unit is for use on 230V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in

sketch (A). If it is for use on 115V, it has a plug that looks like that shown in sketch (D). An adapter, see
sketches (B) and (C), is available for connecting 115V type plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a
properly grounded outlet box. (See Table 2)

3. 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. (See Table 1)

4. 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.

5. Guard Against Electric Shock

Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

9. 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.

6. Keep Children Away

Do not let visitors contact tool. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

7. Store Idle Tools

When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, land high or locked-up place — out of reach of children.

8. 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.

4

10. Always Wear Safety Glasses or Goggles

11. 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 footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear sturdy leather gloves

when working indoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12. Do Not Abuse Cord

Never carry drill unit by its cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.

13. Do Not Overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all time.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. Outdoor Use Extension Cords

When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked. Refer to
Table 1 for recommended extension cord gauge.

20. 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). Be sure
that all safety devices are properly adjusted and in use. 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 Hougen 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. If service
is required contact your nearest authorize service center.

21. Non-Conforming Cutting Tools

Your Magnetic 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.

22. Operating Near Welding Equipment

When operating your Magnetic Drill near an arc welder, it is important that they are connected to the same
Earth Ground. If they are not, severe damage to the unit, particularly the power cord, could occur. This
could also result in personal injury to the operator.

23. 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.

24. Save These Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT)

14. 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. Keep handles dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.

15. Disconnect Tools

When not in use, before servicing, and when changing Hougen Cutters or accessories.

16. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches

Form a habit of checking to see that keys and wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Always remember that the magnet's holding power is directly related to the workpiece thickness and surface
condition. (Rating of 748 Kg pull is based on test using a 25mm thick ground surface.) Since magnetic
attraction diminishes with thinner material or rough surfaces, mechanical clamping of drill unit to the workpiece
should be used when cutting thin material (9.5mm or less) or material with uneven surfaces.

1. Make sure workpiece and bottom of magnet are free of chips, oil, etc.

2. Position drill by sliding it and gently feeding Arbor so that pilot point is touching center of hole to be drilled.

3. Secure unit to workpiece with safety chain.

4. Turn magnet ON by pressing the magnet ON button.

5. Turn Feed Handle, raising the cutter until the pilot is above the work surface.

6. Make certain that cutter is clear of workpiece and turn motor ON by pressing the motor START button.

7. Feed Hougen 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.

8. Ease up on feed pressure as cutter starts breaking through.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Disconnect from power source.

12. If necessary, remove chips from cutter and magnet, preferably wearing leather work gloves and/or with pliers.
Disconnect safety chain and you are ready to move unit to new drilling position.

CHECK OUT OPERATION OF CONTROLS

BEFORE INSTALLING HOUGEN CUTTER

IMPORTANT: Before turning on the machine, it
is important that the operator understands the
interrelated functions of the SAFETY SWITCH,
MAGNET SWITCHES, AND MOTOR SWITCHES.

SAFETY SWITCH — Located in base of drill. Enables motor

operation only when magnet is properly seated on a clean and
flat work surface. Turns motor off if drill is lifted off work
surface.

MAGNET ON SWITCH — Energizes the magnetic base and
activates the safety switch. Motor can now be started by
pushing the motor START switch.

MAGNET OFF SWITCH — De-energizes the magnetic base
and deactivates motor START switch. (Note: Magnet OFF
switch will not function while motor is on.)

MOTOR START SWITCH — Starts the motor (will not
function unless the magnetic base is energized and the safety
switch is activated).

MOTOR STOP SWITCH — Deactivates motor. Magnetic
base remains energized and safety switch activated.

CONTROL PANEL SWITCH PLATE

FIGURE 2

1. Place Magnetic Drill on clean, flat steel plate that is at least 3/8" thick.

2. Plug unit into proper AC power source. DO NOT use with DC Power

3. Locate the Magnet ON and OFF switches and the motor STOP and START switches (Fig. 2).

4. NOTE: A loss of power will de-energize the magnetic base and deactivate the motor. When power is

restored, the magnet will reenergize, however, the motor START switch must be depressed before
the motor will start.

7

INSTALLING HOUGEN CUTTER IN ARBOR

1. Disconnect from power source.

2. Lay drill on its side with feed handles up or be sure Arbor clears table if unit is in normal operating position.

3. Turn Feed Handles until cutter mounting set screws are exposed and completely remove the set screw.

4. Insert proper pilot in shank end of Hougen Cutter.

5. Insert Hougen Cutter until flat on cutter shank is aligned with set screw holes and is exactly perpendicular to

axis of set screw holes. If 1/2" diameter shank cutter is used, slip (10851) Arbor Adapter over the cutter shank
with adapter hole positioned exactly over flat on cutter shank prior to inserting into Arbor bore.

6. Insert set screws and tighten. When mounting 1/2" diameter shank cutter with adapter, use longer

set screw. (ordered separately) Check to be certain that cutter is secure.

ADJUSTMENT OF GIBS

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 (02431).

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 up and down smoothly with no wobble or shaking.

(Looseness will cause cutter breakage.)

NOTE: Gibs should be lubricated regularly.

OPERATION OF CUTTING FLUID RESERVOIR

1. With Magnetic Drill in operating position, turn the feed handles 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 longer than 30 seconds

ARBOR ADJUSTMENT

Adjust Gibs before adjusting front support bracket.

1. Loosen Arbor Support Bracket Bolts.

2. Be sure top of arbor is flush with the shoulder on motor output shaft. Also make certain arbor is securely

fastened.

3. Turn feed handle until motor and spindle are at the bottom of their travel.

4. Tighten Arbor Support Bolts.

5. Feed slide up and down a few times, checking for free and uniform movement.

NOTE: Check Arbor support bolts regularly to make certain they are tight. Tighten as required.

MAINTENANCE

In order to minimize wear on moving parts and to insure smoother operation and longer life for your magnetic drill,
the following maintenance should be done periodically, based on use

1. Regularly tighten all fasteners and replace all worn parts.

2. Check motor brushes and replace if worn. (Break in period - 30 minutes at no load speed)

3. Check power cord and cord from panel to motor and, if cracked or frayed, return to an authorized repair center for
replacement.

4. Apply grease to the slide dovetails, brass gibs, and the feed gear rack. For best results use Shell Cyprina-RA or
equivalent.

5. Remove arbor and pack the bearing in the front support bracket with grease. Use Shell Cyprina-RA or equivalent.

HINTS FOR SMOOTHER OPERATION

1. Keep insides of Hougen Cutter clear of chips. Chips will interfere with cutting to maximum depth, may impede
the free oil flow and can cause cutter breakage.

2. Keep work, machine, arbor and Hougen Cutter free of chips and dirt.

3. Tighten all bolts and fasteners regularly.

4. We highly recommend using a light viscosity cutting fluid (preferably
Hougen Cutting Fluid)

5. Occasionally check metering of cutting fluid flow. Lack of cutting fluid
may cause Hougen Cutter to freeze in cut, slug to stick and may
result in poor cutter life.

6. Always start cut with light feed pressure and then increase suffi­ ciently to achieve maximum cutting rate.

7. Ease off on pressure as cutter begins to break through at the end of
the cut.

8. Keep slide dovetails, brass gibs and feed rack lubricated and free of
chips and dirt.

9. When slug hangs up in cutter, bring cutter down on a flat surface. This will normally straighten a cocked slug,
allowing it to be ejected.

10. When cutting large diameter or deep holes it may be necessary to stop in the middle of the cut to add cutting
fluid and remove the chips from around the arbor. (When doing this DO NOT raise the cutter out of the hole.
Doing so can allow chips to get under the teeth of the cutter and make it difficult to restart the cut.)

REMEDIES FOR HOLEMAKING PROBLEMS

1. Trouble: Magnetic base won’t hold effectively to work.
a. Cause: Chips or dirt under magnet.
Remedy: Clear area of chips and dirt.
b. Cause: Irregular surface on bottom of magnet

or on workpiece.

Remedy: Lightly surface grind the bottom of the

magnet flat and/or file imperfections
flat on the work surface as needed.

2. Trouble: Cutter tends to move across surface
of work.

a. Cause: Magnetic base not holding effectively.
