2.10Emissions
The noise level (emission) of the mill drill machine is below 76 dB(A). If the mill drill machine is
installed in an area where various machines are in operation, the acoustic influence (immission)
on the operator of the mill drill machine may exceed 85 dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numeric value had been measured on a new machine under conventional operating conditions. Depending on the age or wear of the machine, the noise behavior of the machine might
change.
Furthermore, the extent of the noise emission is also depending on manufacturing
influence factors, such as speed, material and clamping conditions.

INFORMATION
The mentioned numerical value is an emission level and not necessarily a safe
working level.
Unless the degree of noise emission and the degree of noise disturbance are depending on one
another it is not possible to use it in ord er to reliably determine if it is necessary to take further
preventive measures or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise disturbance of the
operator:
•Characteristics of the working chamber, e.g. size or damping behavior,
•Other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
•Other processes proceeding nearby and the period during which the operator is exposed to
the noise.
Consult OSHA, state and local regulations in order to determine compliance, dangers and risks
to the operator.
CAUTION!
The machine operator has to wear an appropriate ear protection dep ending on the overall
stress caused by noise and on the basic limit values.
We generally recommend using a sound and ear protection.

4.9Cooling
The friction generated during rotation can cause the edge of the tool to become very hot.
The tool should be cooled during the drilling process. Cooling the tool with a suitable cooling
lubricant ensures better working results and a longer edge life of the tools.
This is best realised by a separate cooling equipment. If there is no cooling equipment included
in the delivery volume, you can cool by means of a spray gun or a washing bottle.

ATTENTION!
Failure of the pump in the event of a dry run.
The pump is lubricated by the cooling agent. Do not start up the pump without cooling
agent.
CAUTION!
Danger of injury due to brushes getting caught or pulled in.
Use a spray gun or a washing bottle for cooling.
INFORMATION
Use a water-soluble and non-polluant drilling emulsion which can be obtained from authorised
distributors.
Make sure that the cooling agent is being collected.
Respect the environment when disposing any lubricants and cooling agents.
Follow the manufacturer’s disposal instructions.

4.10Before starting the working process
Before you start working, select the required speed. It is depending on the drilling diameter and
on the material used.
„Determining the cutting speed and the sp ee d“ on page 34
„Speed t able B34H“ on page 36, „Speed table B34H Vario“ on page 36
WARNING!
For drilling jobs, it is necessary to clamp the workpiece firmly to prevent the bit catching
on the pieces. Example of suitable clamping devices include a machine vice or clamping
jaws.
Put a wooden or plastic board beneath the workpiece to avoid drilling through to the work table,
vice, etc.
Use the drill depth stop when you want to have
several bore holes with the same depth.
When working with wood, make sure to use an
adequate dust extraction unit, as sawdust can
constitute a health hazard. Also use a suitable
protective mask for any work that generates dust.
„Drilling table“ on page 12
Operation
4.11During the working process
The spindle feed is being performed by the star grip. Make sure that the feed is being at a regular pace and not to fast.
The reset of the spindle is being performed by a track recoil spring.
WARNING!
Danger of clothing / or long hair getting caught.
•Make sure to wear a well-fitting work suit during drilling work.
•Do not use gloves.
•If necessary, wear a hairnet.
CAUTION!
Danger of bumps by the levers on the star grip.
Do not release the star grip when repositioning the drilling spindle sleeve.
CAUTION!
Danger of crushing! Do not place your hand between the drill head and the spindle
sleeve.
Img.4-18: T-slots for clamping blocks
The smaller the bit, the more likely it is to break.
In the case of deep drilling, remove the bit from time to time to remove drilling chips from the
bore hole. A few drops of oil will reduce friction and prolong the service life of the bit.
21 / 07 / 2014Page 40Operation Upright drill B34 H/ B34 H Vario ; Version 1.0.5
5.3Examples to calculatory determine the required speed for your drilling
machine
The necessary speed is depending on the diameter of the drill bit, on the material which is being
machined as well as on the cutting material of the drill bit.
Material which needs to be drilled: St37
Cutting material (drill bit): HSS spiral bit
Set point of the cutting speed [
v
] according to the table: 40 meters per minute
c
Diameter [d] of your drill bit: 30 mm = 0.03 m [meters]
Selected infeed [f] according to the table: about 0.35 mm/rev
Speed
Set a speed on your drilling machine which is less than the determined speed.
INFORMATION
In order to facilitate the production of larger drill holes they need to be pre-drilled. This way, you
reduce the cutting forces and improve the guiding of the drill bit.
The pre-drilling diameter is depending on the length of the
chisel edge. The chisel edge does not cut, but it squeezes
the material. The chisel edge is positioned at an angle of 55°
to the major cutting edge.
As a general rule of thumb it applies: The pre-drilling
diameter is depending on the length of the chisel edge.
Recommended working steps for a drilling diameter of 30 mm

Certain aspects of disclaimers are not applicable to consumer products; e.g., (a) some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
