Note: The figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working
levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this
cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are
required. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the workforce include
characteristics of the work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number of
machines and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible exposure level can vary
from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the
machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.

An in-line filter and lubricator must be used prior to the drilling unit and at a distance not
greater than 5m. To achieve optimum service life and performance, lubrication should be
applied at a rate of 50 cubic mm. of oil for each cubic metre of air consumed.
Depending upon the type of supply fittings used, it may be necessary to vent the supply to
be able to disconnect the drill unit from the supply.
The motor should be purged with light lubricating oil after use.
NB: ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THIS MACHINE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE
[2] SAFETY PROCEDURES
READ BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
Always secure the machine with the safety strap RD4329 before starting to operate - for the user's
protection in case the magnetic base breaks loose whilst in use. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
Always wear approved eye and ear protection when the equipment is in operation. .Failure to do so may
result in personal injury.
Disconnect from pneumatic supply source when changing cutters or working on the machine. Ensure that the
Air supply is connected after positioning the machine.
Never pick the machine up by the cutter as this is sharp and may injure you.
Always ensure cutter retaining screws are secure.
Regularly clear the work area and machine of swarf and dirt, paying particular attention to the underside of
the magnet base.
With a gloved hand, and after switching off, remove any swarf, which might have gathered around the cutter
and arbor before proceeding with the next hole.
Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watches and any loose adornments, which might entangle
with the rotating machinery.
Ensure that the magnet is fully activated before attempting to cut a hole.
Should the cutter become ‘fast’ in the work piece, switch off the motor immediately to prevent personal injury.
Disconnect from the pneumatic supply and turn arbor to and fro. Do not attempt to free the cutter by
switching the motor on and off.
If the machine is accidentally dropped, always thoroughly examine the machine for signs of damage and check
that it functions correctly before trying to drill a hole.
Regularly inspect the machine and check that all nuts and screws are tight.

On
Position
Off
Position
Cutting tools may shatter always extended the guard over the cutter during the drilling operation. Failure to
do so may result in personal injury. When moving the machine ensure the guard is over the cutter failure to do
so may cause injury.
On completion of the cut, a slug will be ejected. DO NOT operate the machine if the ejected slug may cause
injury.
Ensure an adequate supply of coolant is supplied to the cutter during the cutting cycle.
Manual handling
When moving the machine always ensure that you use the carry handle on the machine failure to do so may
cause damage to the machine. Never pick the machine up by the cutter as this may cause injury.
Caution this machine is heavy and may require help manoeuvring especially when working
overhead.
[3] OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before connecting the pneumatic supply ensure the motor switch is in the OFF position.
Locate the machine in the required position for cutting the hole and activate the magnet by means of the
ratchet handle (clockwise viewed from rear). Ensure that magnet rod is fully screwed home.
Keep the inside of the cutter clear of swarf - it restricts the operating depth of the cutter.
Apply the cutting fluid to the reservoir via the inducement slots in the arbor. It is then «metered» out by the
pilot and is applied directly to the cutting edge. (Alternatively, fluid can be applied directly on to the work
piece making certain that it floods into the groove formed by the cutter.)
Depress the pilot to ensure cutting fluid is being correctly metered.
Start the motor by turning the rotary valve to ON position see below
Apply light pressure when commencing to cut a hole until the cutter is introduced into the work surface.
Pressure can then be increased sufficiently to load the motor. Excessive pressure is undesirable when using the
Rotabroach Micro-Air machine, it does not increase the speed of penetration and may cause the motor to stall.
The motor will restart when the excessive pressure is released.
Always ensure that the slug has been ejected from the previous hole before commencing to cut the next.
If the slug sticks in the cutter, move the machine to a flat surface, switch on the magnet and gently bring the
cutter down to make contact with the surface. This will usually straighten a cocked slug and allow it to eject
normally.

Problem
Cause
Remedy
Magnetic base won't hold
effectively
Material being cut may be too thin for
efficient holding
Swarf or dirt under magnet
Irregularity on contact between
magnet and work piece
Attach an additional piece of metal
under work piece where magnet will be
located, or mechanically clamp magnetic
base to work piece
Clean magnet
Use extreme care, file only imperfections
flush on to surface
Hole not cut at intended
centre of cut
Magnetic base is not holding
effectively
Worn arbor bushing and/or ejector
collar
Too much feed pressure at start of cut
Cutter is dull, worn, chipped or
incorrectly sharpened
Worn or bent pilot, worn pilot hole
Loose bolts on motor bushing support
bracket, main casting or loose gib
adjusting set screws
See causes and remedies above
Replace! Only a few thousandths wear
permissible. New arbor bushing is
needed
Light pressure until a groove is cut. The
groove then serves as a stabilizer
Replace or re-sharpen. Sharpening
service is available
Replace part or parts
Adjust where necessary
Apply a small amount of light oil lubricant regularly to slide and arbor support bearing. Cutter breakage is
usually caused by insecure anchorage, a loosely fitting slide or a worn bearing in the arbor support.
[4] MOUNTING OF CUTTERS
The following procedure is to be used when mounting cutters.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM PNEUMATIC SUPPLY
Lay the machine on its side with feed handles uppermost, ensuring arbor is wound down to its lowest point to
enable access to socket screws RD4066. Take the appropriate pilot and place through hole in shank of cutter.
Insert shank of cutter into arbor ensuring alignment of two drive flats with socket screws RD4066. Tighten both
screws securely using hexagon key RD4088.
[5] REMEDIES FOR HOLE MAKING PROBLEMS

Cutter skipping
Slideway needs adjustment
Cutter not attached tightly to arbor
Insufficient use of cutting oil or
unsuitable type of oil
Remove cutter, clean part thoroughly
and replace
Always have a new cutter on hand to
refer to for correct tooth geometry,
along with instruction sheet
See cause and remedy above
Adjust gibs
Retighten
Inject oil of light viscosity into he slot in
the arbor and check to be sure oil is
being metered into cutter when pilot is
depressed. If not, check pilot groove
and arbor internally for dirt or apply oil
externally. Even a small amount of oil is
very effective
Excessive cutter wear
See cause and remedy above
Incorrectly re-sharpened cutter
Insufficient or spasmodic cutting
pressure
Refer to instructions and a new cutter
for proper tooth geometry
Use sufficient steady pressure to slow
the drill down. This will result in
optimum cutting speed and chip load
Motor will not start
Insufficient air pressure/volume
Check air supply, spindle free to rotate

[7] MAINTENANCE
To be conducted only by authorised personnel
In order to ensure that the unit is used to its full efficiency there are a few basic maintenance needs to
observe. A regular check out of the machine will also ensure a prolonged «life» for the cutters and easier
operation.
Before proceeding with any maintenance work be certain that the pneumatic supply is disconnected
ADJUSTMENT OF SLIDE AND ARBOR SUPPORT BRACKET
An essential requirement of the machine is that the slide which controls the movement of the cutter, can move
in a smooth and controlled manner, free of lateral movement and vibration.
This situation can be maintained by periodic adjustment of the slide and is accomplished in the following
manner:
Place the machine in a vertical position and, by means of the capstan, raise the slide to its highest
position, thus exposing the maximum possible amount of the vee slideway. Clean the slideways
thoroughly and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the wear surfaces.
Now drop the slide to its lowest position within the main housing and loosen screws, thus allowing
free movement of the arbor support bracket.
With the hexagonal key located and commencing with the two inner screws, gently feed in all the
screws until slight resistance is encountered.
Operate the slide up and down a few times to test the movement and make any further necessary
adjustments. Try to ensure that all the screws are exerting a uniform pressure on the slide from top
to bottom.
A perfectly adjusted slide will operate freely up and down without any sideways movement.
Now, using fingers only, tighten the screws holding the arbor support bracket.
Place the machine on a steel plate, connect to supply and activate the magnet. Start up the motor. If
the arbor is incorrectly aligned, the arbor support bracket will be seen to oscillate. Many any
necessary further adjustments to the bracket to ensure correct alignment of the spindle and finally
tighten the screws using a hex key.
