Note:

The vibration measurement was made under standard conditions in accordance with BS EN 61029 – 1:2009.

VIBRATION

WARNING: When using this machine the operator can be exposed to high levels of vibration transmitted to the hand and arm. It is possible that the operator could develop “Vibration white finger disease”

(Raynaud syndrome). This condition can reduce the sensitivity of the hand to temperature as well as producing general numbness. Prolonged or regular users of this machine should monitor the condition of their hands and fingers closely.

If any of the symptoms become evident, seek immediate medical advice.

• The measurement and assessment of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in the workplace is given in: BS EN ISO 5349-

1:2001 and BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002

• Many factors can influence the actual vibration level during operation e.g. the work surfaces condition and orientation and the type and condition of the machine being used. Before each use, such factors should be assessed, and where possible appropriate working practices adopted. Managing these factors can help reduce the effects of vibration:

Handling

• Handle the machine with care, allowing the machine to do the work.

• Avoid using excessive physical effort on any of the machines controls.

• Consider your security and stability, and the orientation of the machine during use.

Work Surface

• Consider the work surface material; its condition, density, strength, rigidity and orientation.

WARNING:

The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. The need to identify safety measures and to protect the operator are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle, such as the times the tool is switched off, when it is running idle, in addition to trigger time).

• 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.

• Continue this process until the Coolant/Lubrication fluid is flowing onto the work piece.

OPERATION EVO 42

Note:

This machine is fitted with the latest Anti Stall Technology

(AST).

If the cutting forces result in the motor stalling, the electronics will switch off the motor, preventing burnout. The magnet will remain energised holding the machine safely in position.

To reset after AST activation:

• Set the motor switch to the

OFF

position.

• Back off the cutter from the material.

• Wait 3-5 seconds

before restarting by switching the motor switch to the ON position.

Note:

If after activation of the AST system or at any other time during operation the machine fails to restart, or there is no magnetic adhesion check the 240V/10A or 120V/16A (5x20mm) Surge Fuse.

(Fig. 8)

If it has blown, it must be replaced with an identical type.

MAKING A CUT

WARNING:

Ensure that the secondary slide is locked. The locking lever has a Left Hand thread and is located on the lower Left Hand side of the gearbox housing.

(Fig. 9)

This must be fully tightened and will prevent any lateral movement of the cutting head during the cutting operation.

WARNING:

On completion of the cut the pilot bin will eject the material slug. This slug will be very hot with sharp edges. Use protective gloves when handling the slug.

If the slug fails to be ejected from the cutter this could be caused by the slug becoming twisted inside the cutter. To release the slug lower the cutter onto a flat area of the work piece, this will square up the slug and allow it to be ejected.

AUXILIARY 13mm 3 JAW CHUCK.

(UK Market only)

This machine is supplied with an auxiliary 3 jaw chuck to enable the use of standard parallel shank twist drill bits.

• 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.

• Continue to apply only sufficient pressure to allow the cutter to cut freely through the work piece.

• Depending on the thickness of the workpiece periodically raise the cutter to clear the swarf build up prior to continuing the cut.

Note:

When fitted, the 3 jaw chuck (and any twist drill fitted into it) are considerably longer than any of the annular cutters usually fitted into this machine. To accommodate this greater overall length the secondary slide facility of the machine must be employed.

The locking lever for the secondary slide has a left hand thread and is found on the lower Left Hand side of the gearbox housing.

(Fig.

9)

Loosen this lever to adjust the height (length) of the machine

(max 670mm) to suit the drilling application.

Once adjustment has been satisfactorily completed, ensure that the secondary slide is securely tightened using the locking lever.

To fit the chuck:

• Screw the 3 jaw auxiliary chuck into the threaded bore of the chuck adaptor.

(Fig. 10)

• Align the two flats on the chuck adaptor with one of the screws in the spindle.

(Fig.11)

• Start to tighten the grub screw and at the same time slightly rotate the chuck adaptor backwards and forwards until the grub screw is fully tightened. This will ensure that the grub screw is located squarely onto the flat preventing the chuck adaptor from becoming loose.

• Tighten the remaining grub screw.

MAINTENANCE

Note

: Any maintenance must be carried out with the machine switched off and disconnected from the mains/battery power supply.

Check that all safety features and guards are operating correctly on a regular basis. Only use this machine if all guards/safety features are fully operational.

All motor bearings in this machine are lubricated for life. No further lubrication is required.

Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic parts of the machine. Do not use solvents or similar products which could damage the plastic parts.

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.

Adjusting Gibs (Dovetail Slides) Free Play

Periodically check, lubricate and adjust as necessary. When adjusting the gib strips the following procedure must be followed.

• Using the supplied 3mm Hex Key loosen slightly the 3 cap screws.

(Fig 12(A)

shows 1 of the cap screws).With all 3 cap screws loosened, ensure that the main slide is at the lowest position.

• Using the 2 mm Hex Key supplied turn the lower and middle adjusting screws to eliminate any free movement.

(Fig 12 (B)

shows 1 of the adjusting screws).

• Move the main slide upwards until its top edge is level with the top of the dovetail slide way. Turn the upper adjusting screw to take up any free movement.

• Operate the crank handle to move the slide up and down. There should be no free play, yet no binding anywhere throughout the range of travel.

• If necessary repeat the above procedure several times to ensure that all free movement has been eliminated and that the machine head moves up and down freely without any binding and without any side to side movement.

• Re-tighten the 3 cap screws when adjustment is complete.
