ASSEMBLY and PREPARATION WARNING: This machine must not be connected to a power source until all assembly and preparation has been completed and a safety check carried out. Assembly Remove the machine from the case and check that all accessories are present and correct. Place the machine onto a clean, sturdy work surface. • Attach the three handles into the spindle boss ensuring that they are screwed fully home. (Fig. 1) • Attach the Safety Guard and secure in place using the supplied fixing screws. (Fig.
EVO42 • Operate the Red switch (Fig. 4) situated at the rear of the machine to energise the magnet. • Check that the machine is firmly attached to the Mild Steel plate. • Operate the Black motor switch located on the top of the machine. (Fig. 5) • Allow the motor to run for a few seconds to check for any unusual noise or vibration. • Do not use the machine if any vibration or unusual noises are detected or if magnetic adhesion is questionable.
SETTING UP WARNING: Before using the machine ensure that you have read the sections on the intended and prohibited of use of this machine. This machine should only be used for hole boring/drilling whilst attached to the work piece by the electro-magnetic base. WARNING: This machine is intended for use at any angle, but only if the electro-magnet is in full working order and has sufficient hold on the work piece material.
EVO42 To ensure Coolant/Lubrication flow: • Release the Coolant/Lubrication bottle cap. This will prevent a vacuum being created that will stop the Coolant/Lubrication fluid from flowing. • Gently squeeze the Coolant/Lubrication bottle to force the Coolant/ Lubrication through to the cutter. • Lower the cutting head towards the work piece until the cutter teeth touch the work piece and the pilot pin is depressed, then raise the cutting head.
• Correctly position the machine on the work piece, with the electro magnet energised and with the safety strap secured in place. • Check for sufficient Coolant/Lubrication fluid flowing at the cutter. • Start the motor by selecting the ON position of the BLACK switch, located on top of the machine. (refer to Fig.5) • Using the feed handles slowly lower the cutting head until the cutter makes contact with the work piece.
EVO42 WARNING: Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings in the machines casings etc. The machines air vents should be cleaned using compressed dry air. Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of dirt in the motor or worn out carbon brushes. If this is suspected have the machine serviced and the brushes replaced by a qualified person. Fig. 12 A Fig. 12 B Adjusting Gibs (Dovetail Slides) Free Play Periodically check, lubricate and adjust as necessary.
