WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRILL MATERIAL THICKER THAN THE DEPTH CAPACITY OF THE CUTTER.
If the cutter is allowed to “bottom out” the feed system may cause the magnet to lift (usually it will
overload first).
NOTE: In very light load conditions, such as when using very small cutters or drilling a very thin work
piece, often the load drop will not be enough to signal the machine’s electronic control board to
automatically stop. If this occurs, it does not indicate a malfunction.

CHANGING TOOLS & ADAPTORS WITH MT3 SHANK
To insert a tool, turn the tool until the tang lines up and firmly push into
place. It is helpful to tap with a soft-faced mallet to fully engage the
taper. If it is properly in position, one will not be able to pull it back apart
by hand. To remove, line up the ejector slot of the arbor with the ejector
port in the gear case, slide the ejector drift into the slot and tap with a
hammer to eject the tool.
CAUTION: When removing, take care that the cutting tool does not
crash down and get damaged or injure anyone below.
OPERATION
The operation instructions under “OPERATION-GENERAL” also apply to this machine. Please see the additional
instructions specific to the 4-speed Morse taper model below:
WARNING: NEVER operate 60mm (2-3/8 in.) or larger cutters unless the plate thickness is mini mum
20mm (13/16 in.) MAGNET LIFTING MAY RESULT. If the plate
thickness is not enough, supplement the magnetic adhesion by
adding a 10mm or thicker plate directly under the magnet’s
position under the work piece.
CAUTION: Machine is equipped with a reversing switch. Always
ensure that direction of rotation is correct before operating.
Operating in the wrong direction could result in damage to the
cutter.
Select desired gear range by first popping the tab out of its detent and
then sliding selectors up or down in the proper combination. Refer to the
chart to achieve the correct combination for the desired speed. (It may
