Always remember that the magnet's holding power is directly related to the workpiece thickness and surface condition. Since magnetic
attraction diminishes with thinner material or rough surfaces, mechanical clamping of drill unit to the workpiece should be used when
cutting thin material (3/8" or less) or material with uneven surfaces.
1. Make sure the workpiece and bottom of the magnet are free of chips, oil, etc.
2. Verify that the Safety Switch works properly (See Safety Switch Indicator Light Section)
3. Position the drill by sliding it and gently feeding the Arbor so that pilot point is touching the center of hole to be drilled.
4. Secure the unit to the workpiece with a safety chain.
5. Turn the magnet "ON" by pressing the magnet ON switch.
6. Turn the Feed Handle, raising the cutter until the pilot is above the work surface.
7. Fill the coolant reservoir or fill the attached coolant bottle if applicable.
8. Make certain that the cutter is clear of the workpiece and turn the motor "ON" by pressing the motor START switch.
9. Feed the Hougen Cutter slowly into the workpiece. Only after a cutting path is established to a depth of about 1/16" can the full force
be applied to the feed handles.
10. Ease up on the feed pressure as the cutter starts breaking through.
11. At the conclusion of cut, turn the motor "OFF" by pressing the motor STOP switch. Turn the Feed Handles to raise the Arbor thereby
ejecting the slug, if it hasn't already fallen free.
12. Turn the magnet "OFF" by pressing the magnet OFF switch.
13. Disconnect from the power source.
14. If necessary, remove the chips from the cutter and magnet, preferably wearing leather work gloves and/or with pliers. Disconnect the
safety chain and you are ready to move the unit to the new drilling position.
When drilling, especially in horizontal or overhead positions, always apply feed
pressure toward the work surface. Never pull away from the work surface as this can
weaken the magnetic holding power.

In order to minimize wear on moving parts and to insure smoother operation and longer life for your magnetic drill, the following
maintenance should be done periodically, based on use.
1. Regularly tighten all fasteners and replace all worn parts.
2. Check the motor brushes and replace if worn.
3. Check the power cord and cord from panel to motor and, if cracked or frayed, return to an authorized repair center for replacement.
4. Apply grease to the slide dovetails, brass gibs, and the feed gear rack. For best results use Shell Cyprina-RA or equivalent.
5. Remove the arbor and pack the bearing in the front support bracket with grease. Use Shell Cyprina-RA or equivalent.
6. The safety switch plunger should be cleaned and lubricated with penetrating oil periodically. As necessary remove the magnet
from the drill and remove the safety switch assembly from magnet. Push the plunger out of the magnet. Clean out any debris from
inside and around the plunger hole in the magnet. Coat the plunger with anti-seize. Replace the plunger and the safety
switch assembly and tighten down the screws. Replace the magnet onto the drill housing.
