After Cutting. SteelMax SM-D2

CAUTION!

AN ALTERNATE MEANS MUST BE USED TO SECURELY HOLD THE DRILL IN PLACE.

FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES!

9. To start a cut, apply pressure until the cutter has established an external grove. Continue with steady pressure through the remainder of the cut (Note: Do not peck drill when using annular cutters). The tools are designed to evacuate chips when drilling.

AFTER THE CUT

CAUTION! SLUG IS EXTREMELY HOT!

1. After the cut has finished, the slug should automatically eject from the cutter*. Slug can eject with significant force due to the pilot pin spring pressure. Always be prepared for the ejected slug.

2. Return motor to the full upright position, depress motor OFF button and wait until motor fully stops. Move magnet switch to the OFF position to release the magnetic base from the material.

*Note: If the slug does not eject after the cut, disconnect the machine from the power source and remove the cutter from the arbor body, then expel the slug. (Caution: Do not use the pilot pin as damage can result).

NORMAL MAINTENANCE

1. The SteelMax d2 drilling machine is equipped with new unique system for elimination of excess play in slide guides. This rail guide system completely eliminates maintenance or adjustment.

2. After every 250 hours of operation, check the condition of the (2) carbon brushes (03.16). If their length is less than 10 mm they should be replaced with new ones. Replacement of brushes is possible without removal of motor from the drill. Refer to Brush Replacement page for detailed instructions. Other repair work should only be performed by authorized service centers.

3. To prevent the machine from rusting (especially when used outdoors) all steel parts should be covered with thin layer of grease film.

4. Keep the magnet clean and free of chips, oil or other contaminants.

5. Occasionally check the magnet base for flatness to ensure proper magnetic holding force.

6. Replace any worn parts and tighten fasteners that become loose during normal usage.
