B R M - 3 5 A / B M A G D R I L L Ø DO allow machine to reach operating speed before starting a hole. Ø DO unplug machine while changing or adjusting cutting bits so as not to accidentally turn machine on. Ø DO remove adjusting keys or hex wrenches prior to turning the machine on. Ø DO use cutting paste (instead of cutting oil) when using this drill in an inverted position to prevent oils from entering the electrical system and for ease of cutting.
B R M - 3 5 A / B M A G D R I L L Ø DO NOT operate this machine on the same work surface where welding is being performed. This could result in severe damage to the machine or personal injury to the user. Ø DO NOT use this machine without the safety chain or safety strap. Ø DO NOT operate this machine on a lower voltage as it may result in the electromagnet being at a reduced power level and the machine could become unstable while cutting. This could also limit the motor life.

B R M - 3 5 A / B M A G D R I L L 3 Chapter Operations Note THOROUGHLY READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE! PURPOSE Ø The purpose of the BRM-35A is to drill through steel using annular cutters or standard twist drill bits (when using the optional drill chuck). Ø These drills are designed to magnetically adhere to a ferrous surface using their electromagnetic base. Generally these drills are designed and used to drill through mild steel.
B R M - 3 5 A / B Ø M A G D R I L L This machine has one primary adjusting point for the travel between the magnetic base frame and the drill frame slide. The main way to increase or decrease the users ability to move the drill by hand is with this system. These are the black hex bolts on the side of the machine that have a locking nut around them. These are generally used to tighten up the travel as the brass slides wear over time.
B R M - 3 5 A / B M A G D R I L L RUNNING THE MACHINE Ø Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1. Ø Consider your security and stability as well as the orientation of the machine in the work area. o Ø Consider the work surface material, condition, strength, density and rigidity. These factors directly affect the tools magnetic adhesion. Magnetic adhesion diminishes with thinner material and rough surface. Full magnetic spec’d adhesion is considered on 1” material.
B R M - 3 5 A / B Ø M A G Plug the machine into power source. o Ø D R I L L Form a loose knot in the power cord close to the plug connection to prevent cutting fluid from running down the cord and into the power receptacle. Engage the magnet by pressing the magnet button on the control panel. o Check that the machine is firmly attached to the work area. o NOTE: The motor will not start unless magnet is on. Ø Turn feed handle raising the cutter until the bit is above the work surface.
B R M - 3 5 A / B M A G D R I L L INSTALLING ANNULAR CUTTERS Ø WARNING: Annular cutters are extremely sharp and should only be handled with a thick glove so as not to cut the user during installation or removal. Ø Check that the cutters are sharp and not damaged. o Ø Annular cutters that are dull or damaged should not be used. Insert the pilot pin into the center of the annular cutter you have chosen.
B R M - 3 5 A / B M A G D R I L L 4 Chapter Troubleshooting Note SERVICING SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DON’T FORGET TO UNPLUG POWER TO UNIT PRIOR TO SERVICE! PROBLEM Motor does not turn on. SOLUTION 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) Motor turns on when the magnet is turned on. Excessive sparking when motor is running. 1) 1) 2) Magnetic does not hold to work area. Hole is not cutting. Magnet not turned on. Magnet has to be engaged prior to motor working.
B R M - 3 5 A / B M A G D R I L L 5 Chapter General Maintenance Ø Inspect electrical cords and electrical connections. Ø Keep machine clean and free of debris. Ø Check for misalignment, binding and breakage of all moving parts. If damaged, repair tool before use. Ø Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharp cutters are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Occasional Maintenance Ø Have the power tool serviced by a qualified service technician using identical replacement parts.
