[. . . ] Remove tie, rings, watches and any loose adornments which might entangle with the rotating parts of the machine. Should the cutter get stuck in the workpiece, stop the motor immediately to prevent personal injury. 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 the nuts and screws are tight. [. . . ] The variable speed adjust of FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L can be found on the side of the drilling unit. Start the motor by pressing the green motor start button (I). 7 Start bringing the cutter to the workpiece but handle with care and do not apply too much pressure.

After the cut is finished the slug will automatically be ejected from the cutter, switch the machine off by pushing the red button(0). If the slug gets stuck in the cutter, move the machine to a flat surface. Switch on the magnet and gently bring the cutter down in contact with the surface. This usually allows a slug to straighten and to eject. 7 WARNING: The slug will be ejected and is very hot 4. 4 Drilling with twist drills There are several accessories available to be able to use twist drills with your magnetic drill. Adapter 19 mm Weldon ½"x20 UNF Adapter 19 mm Weldon ­ B16 taper connection Adapter 19 mm Weldon ­ B18 taper connection 8 Start bringing the twist drill to the workpiece but handle with care and do not apply too much pressure. After the cutting is finished switch the machine off by pushing the red button. 3. 5 Tapping / threading With models FE 32 R/L, FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L you are able to make a thread in the drilled hole. Only model FE 100 R/L has the possibility to make thread in "blind" holes. FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L drilling units are equipped with a direct Morse taper connection. Model FE 32 R/L can only make threads using the tap holder inserts (picture 2). Tap holders DIN376 M10, M12 and M14 are standard delivered with every FE 32 R/L and FE 50 R/L. These adapters will allow you to attach a drill chuck on to the hole cutter arbor. However when using longer twist drills you will notice the stroke of your magnetic drilling machine is often not large enough. With models FE 32 and FE 32 R/L you are able to remove the hole cutter arbor and guidance. It will reveal a ½"x20 NF direct connection on the drilling unit, enabling you to attach a corresponding drill chuck. To dismount the arbor unscrew the 4 hexagon screws under the guidance support. After, unscrew the arbor from the motor using an open ended spanner 18 and 20 mm. Models FE 50, FE 50 R/L and FE 100 R/L are equipped with Morse taper adapters. They can be removed easily and a twist drill or drill chuck with direct taper connection can be inserted in to the drilling unit. Also twist drills with a direct Weldon connection are available (ranging from Ø 6 ­ Ø 12 mm) 1 2 Place the machine at the desired position Switch on the magnet 3 4 5 Ensure that the magnetic drilling unit is secure on the working piece.
