Drilling jobs without a guiding disk
For working with drills of a larger diameter than
27 mm (up to 45 mm as the maximum), the guide
disk can be dismounted in compliance with the
above procedure. According to necessity, it is pos-
sible to dismount also the springs (5), the stop
tube (6) and the depth stops (7.1 and 7.2). In such
a case, proceed with utmost care. In any case, we
recommend employing the bottom stop ring (7.2)
for protection against undesirable contact of the
rotating parts with the material.
In particular, take care that the rotating parts of
the drilling machine or the employed drills may
not come into contact with the parts of the drill-
ing stand.

- Maintain the clamping elements and the clamp-
ing points free of dust, dirt and fi lings.
- Using a rag, remove the dirt from the guide
bars, and applying lubricating grease or ma-
chine oil upon them, make sure they can slide
easily.
- Maintain the seating surfaces of the base board
clean; in this way, you will guarantee the accu-
racy and precision of the angles of the orifi ces.
Respect the following rule:
- The chosen springs of the drilling stand are at
a larger distance from the guide bars intention-
ally. This is no shortcoming; on the contrary, in
this way, a better functioning of the springs is
achieved. These springs allow for a lower re-
sistance during the drilling
