ASSEMBLY

Coolant tank assembly required. First attach clear tube to the bottom of the coolant tank. To do this, first

loosen the nut and slide nut onto the tube. Then slide tube onto the nipple. Then tighten the nut. Slide tank

hanger over the screw on the upper right hand side of slide and tighten. Finally insert the other end of the tube

into the quick-release connector in the gearbox. Just directly push in to install. (To remove, first firmly push

the red collar of the connector and pull the tube out.) Cutting coolant fluid is always required when using

annular cutters. Open tank cover and fill. Check coolant fluid level often. Keep coolant tap closed when not in

use.

Chip guard must be used. To attach the chip guard, use the supplied butterfly bolts to bolt to the magnet. It is

not necessary to remove guard to clean chips. Simply raise guard to its upper position.

Safety chain must be used. Loop chain around the work piece and feed through the machine’s handle and

clip in place.

ADJUSTING THE SLIDE HEIGHT ( 4-Speed and Semi-Auto Feed models do not apply)

Adjustable slide height models allow the operator to quickly change the

height position of the motor head on the slide. This is useful when

switching between twist drills and annular cutters, for example. For annular

cutters, use the lowest position possible for best stability. For twist drills,

raise the motor head to allow enough clearance for the twist drill to be

mounted.

To adjust:

1. Using the T-handle hex wrench, loosen the socket cap screw on the

Slide Height Lock.

2. Slide the motor head to the desired position.

3. Tighten the Slide Height Lock.

MOUNTING ANNULAR CUTTERS

CAUTION: Never use a cutting tool that is larger than the maximum

rated capacity of the machine.

For set screw type arbors:

To insert an annular cutter, first insert the pilot pin into the cutter. Then slide

the cutter into the arbor, align the proper flat with the locking screw(s) and

tighten securely with the supplied L-hex key.
